Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama vs. LSU...

Very, very, very ugly win

 

[GrayTide]

Unless and until the OL improves, the Oklahoma and Auburn games could be toss ups at best. If we get by those two games, I am not confident in our chances against either Texas A&M, Georgia, or Ole Miss in the SEC Championship game.

Our defense did play great but LSU’s offense has been terrible all season. I do think the defense is playing better and made plays to win the game two weeks in a row. On offense, I think we have to accept who we are. We’re like a basketball team that lives and dies by the 3. We’re going to win or lose based off the game Ty and the receivers have. Ty needs to settle down a bit and control his emotions. I think we’ve got an uphill battle but this team can absolutely win a title.

Roll Tide!! Another ugly win but sure beats the alternative! With Venables defense and two weeks to prep we need more from Ty next week

We need more from the O line so Ty has the opportunity to give us more, IMHO.

We’ve got to find a rhythm again on offense. Running up the middle on first down for no gain isn’t doing it. I think we need to better utilize quick throws for easier completions that would take some pressure off of Ty and the offensive line. Our playmakers are at receiver not running back. Quickly get the ball in their hands in space and let them work. I’m not saying totally abandon the run, but we’ve basically got to open up the running game by first throwing.

I completely agree, but the last two games even when he had time Ty’s throws have been slightly off the mark.

I’m frankly surprised we’ve gotten as far as we have with the OL play thus far. I don’t know how much of it is offensive philosophy, coaching, talent ( or lack thereof) , or a combo of some or all three. It’s hard to imagine getting through OU, barn, SECCG ( hopefully), CFP without at least something approaching a respectable running game.

I know the lack of a running game absolutely plays a part but is it also possible the Heisman/#1 Pick talk is getting in Ty’s head a bit? He’s been pressing ever since he became the center of that talk. It reminds me a bit like Milroe last year when he wasn’t the same after the UGA game. I’m not blaming Ty either cause it’s natural for young players to get caught up in their hype but someone needs to get him to calm down a bit. Thankfully he’s still playing good enough to win us games, that drive at the end of the half was magic.

Look I am not excusing any of our flaws but this year has been 2010 levels of crap in terms of our opposition getting time off to prepare for us. Bama play four ranked teams in a row then has to play at South Carolina/
LSU gets a bye.
Oklahoma gets a bye.
Auburn gets a bye and then plays Mercer before play bama.
Even the college football nerds on twitter are calling it out now.

and we keep winning

I love that we won, but I will not rewatch the game. I think our defense has glimpses of being special. Some of the strips/punch outs are things of beauty and you can see how much they work that drill on a daily basis. As for the offense, I just hope we are saving plays for the future.

If Ty keeps making some of the poor decisions he made last, we are in trouble. Maybe he's been eating some of the rat poison.
