What to watch this weekend?

[TRU]

Curious about what the experts think we should watch for most this weekend at the A day game. I always find A day a bit difficult to figure out since we have one unit going against another from the same team. This makes it hard to figure out if great plays are the result of a strength in one unit or weakness in the opposing unit. For example, in the latter Stallings years, we would often hear after A day that the defense was awesome - even better that '92. But then when the season started, it became clear that the defense was not that awesome - the offense was just anemic. So what can we watch for that will allow us to cut through this confounding factor?

As I am unable to get to Tuscaloosa this weekend, is this A-Day on TV anywhere? I don't see it listed anywhere, at least in the New Orleans area. I see the SEC Network will show a replay Monday night, but is there anybody showing it live?

 

[Tiderollin32]

SEC Network + is showing it live. Looking forward to seeing the O-line and young receivers play.

 

[NationalTitles18]

SECN+ is showing the game.

I think its on SEC Network + but i don't really know what that is

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Disappointed the game is not on ESPN like it had been for several years. I do not have SECN. Looks like UGA got the nod this year since their game is on ESPN2. With uncertainty on the O-Line and young receivers except for Burton I'd expect the defense to dominate. This defense could be one of Saban's best.

 

[Toddrn]

I would think it will show up on Youtube and without the commercials.

 

[BamaMoon]

It's not even on regular SECN??? Can't believe this. First time in years it hasn't been broadcast live on one of the ESPN platforms.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

All but one spring game are om secN+ which i had to research to figure out.

If you have the secN on your cable, you can log on to the espn app and watch it on the secn+ channel.

Its very confusing because its not part of the espn+ package from what i can tell.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

From a what to watch standpoint.

The defenses will be well ahead of the offenses so don't expect a shootout.

You should watch the first team oline vs the first team front 7. Front 7 is going to win most of those but I'm happy to see how Latham does and to see if anyone emerges as a force on the dline. Will Anderson is unblockable so don't expect to see an OT look dominate against him.

Receiver and DB matchups. Specifically the transfers and freshmen at wr as well as Ricks and Jackson competing for the number 2 corner spot.

Running back is an interesting position to keep an eye on as well, sanders getting healthier and Gibbs incoming have my interest in what our run game could look like

Its a zero sum game so score isn't gonna tell you much. Best case scenario is no injuries.

It's the internet basically. SECN is re-playing all spring games so check the listing to watch if you don't watch on Saturday.

My only concern is with the OL, the OT's specifically. I think JC Latham is a future star at RT and think we can lock him in. LT is going to be interesting to watch. Just not sure Randolph or Kight is the answer. I think Steen coming in June will hopefully pull the group together. If it does we are going to be an incredibly dangerous team.

I am far from tech savvy, but have found the following to be easily workable, and a way to display computer streaming on almost any HD TV:

Have an HDMI cable permanently plugged into one of your TV's HDMI inputs. Most TVs have at least 2, and many have 4. I keep one plugged in all the time, but curled up out of sight behind the main TV. I unfurl it only when needed.

When you want to stream something, go through the regular sign-in on the computer. When you get the programming you're after, unfurl the HDMI cable, plug it into your computer's HDMI out port, point your TV's signal input to the correct HDMI input port, and you have streaming on your big-screen TV.

It's even easier if you have a newer TV that allows you to download apps onto the TV itself.

Yep. Watch it on the ESPN app on your TV. That was my plan until something came up.

And the folks who shine in A day will disappear in regular season

When you click on the game, it will ask you to log in to ESPN+. So you need a subscription for that. With Xfinity, you can say SEC+ in the voice remote, and go that route.
