Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. USF...

[colbysullivan]

I have to ask because I didn't get to watch the whole game, but did they ever show Milroe? I watched 1st, last of 3rd, and 4th, and never saw him.

Yeah

 

[CrimsonTitles]

probably because it was MTSU

Agreed, but that was in response to Milroe looking good against MTSU

 

[JTH]

From some of the comments in this thread, you would have thought we lost the game. Come on folks, we won!

Not to the Alabama standard.

 

[Special K]

What throw did he make that the other guys can't? The throw to the tight end was a designed play with one read. Milroe can make all the throws he just can't (or has not shown the ability to yet) read a defense.

Roydell did show me something.

The 45 yd rope to Dippre down the seam for one. Milroe can’t hit that and Buchner wouldn’t even try.

CNS: Everybody has opportunity to respond in right way when things don't go their way. Played guys that practiced best all week long.

Mental errors on OL. Missed protections. Got beat. Need to get that fixed and it's a consistent problem all year. Those are drive killers.

Simpson did ok. Missed some big plays. Managed game well. Ran quite a bit when he was in. Sacks weren't all his fault.

Were going to kick FG on play in 4Q where we drew them offside

Who we got for backup?

milroe

 

[RTR2u]

I thought he played "ok" after the first two or three series he was in. He seemed to settle down a bit. He needs to learn to take what the d gives him though.

No argument from me. If he's 5star give him the reps and he needs to learn.

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

At this point just let Ty Simpson take the reigns. One thing is for sure, playing musical qb ain't gonna work. Let TS play and gain experience and let's go from there.
Also, the Oline issue has got to be fixed and honestly I think it begins wit strength and conditioning. We couldn't push our way out of a sopping wet paper bag.....
Something is going on with coaching because there is no way we should be this bad.....PERIOD.

 

[colbysullivan]

Buchner never needs to see the field again. He’s a Cooper Bateman clone. Milroe should have a goal-line/short yardage package and that’s it. If Ty isn’t our starter moving forward, then I don’t know what to think.

The 45 yd rope to Dippre down the seam for one. Milroe can’t hit that and Buchner wouldn’t even try.

Milroe would have probably overthrown it like he did a few times against texas and Buchner would have thre it at his feet or 5 yards from him to the left or right like he did multiple time tonight.

 

[BamaNation]

CNS: most proud about guys answering the bell at end when needed. Had several guys out and that caused some issues on special teams. Start to lose players and next guy has to setp up.

Didn't execute well. But way we competed was outstanding.

their 4 4th down non-conversions is like 4 turnovers. huge.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

It might be too early to assume that Simpson gets the start against OM. Saban may have told Milroe he's not playing against USF because Saban simply wanted to get a good look at Buchner and Simpson. In Simpson's favor he didn't commit any turnovers but it may be only 50/50 in Saban's mind about who starts next week.

 

[4Q Basket Case]

We aren’t though, or at least we shouldn’t be. Ty won the job tonight IMO.

I definitely get your point. But I'm re-thinking my own assessment of Milroe against UTw, and wondering if I was too harsh. That OL is horrendous, and I'm thinking might have affected Milroe than Milroe's own weaknesses affected the OL.

After today's OL debacle, I'm just not sure. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Saban and Rees discuss it.

 

[Tide Rev]

Looks like we have a starter at QB, a RB who stepped up. OLine needs work no doubt but we won and that counts for something with this young team. Have a great practice week and correct mistakes and see what happens next week. It is not all bad.

 

[BamaNation]

CNS: thought they would go fast. Whole plan was to keep our guys in game thinking they would do that. They were 5/17 on 3rd down so pretty good job.

Jalen has been very supportive of his teammates.

 

[RTR2u]

BamaNation, I think it was you that posted the radio link. Thank you for that. It was right with the broadcast and was easy to follow. I didn't have to listen to RGIII.

 

[BamaNation]

CNS: They had as exotic a pressure package as anybody we play against. They use so many multiples and our guys didn't execute handling it several times.

 

[colbysullivan]

Milroe would have probably overthrown it like he did a few times against texas and Buchner would have thre it at his feet or 5 yards from him to the left or right like he did multiple time tonight.

That’s probably what would have happened. Buchner has a noodle arm.

 

[Joefus]

Did not expect that I'd be walking out of the stadium with USF fans. But at least it was a win.

Yoooooo love your avatar 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

 

[irvingtontide]

I’ve always thought Ty gives us the best chance and I’m glad he got his shot today. Now he needs to work on his pocket awareness or this line will get him killed. Rbs need to pick up pass protection.
