Tony Averett has to get better

I hope he gets better fast. He was picked on all night for sure.

One pass to a good WR where he was in good position and the WR played his technique perfectly and high pointed the ball. What else did he give up?

I can find one play where any player on the team got beat.

I like Fitzpatrick outside with tony Brown at star when he gets back. Shyheim Carter was out there a little.

Yeah he didn't look bad, just inexperienced. He didn't ever get beat, just his instincts (read muscle memory) wasn't there yet.

This is true, and Bama will always give up a couple of those long balls. I'm not complaining at all, our defense is an absolute force. Tony will be fine. Roll damn Tide!

I'm not sure and I'm nitpicking so disregard this. 52-6 against USC? Roll damn Tide

AA played well. He was solid coming up in run coverage and never got beat. Even on the long ball he had perfect position, he just didn't get his head around in time to make a play on an under thrown ball. For his first start, I give him a solid 9/10. Teams will pick on him, but they picked on Hump last season. He should get better every week too.

He's fine. First real playing time against a skilled WR group. His shortcomings are magnified by playing in the same secondary as Hump and Fitz.
