I didn't expect to win this game

This was simply a game of a ridiculously deep front 7 dominating our O-line for an entire game. Saban said before the season that this was the best front 7 he has had at Alabama, which is saying something. I feel much better about our defense after this. They played out of their minds tonight. Remember, this team beat us 52-0 in Tuscaloosa 2 years ago.

I'm not mad. I'm encouraged. this team is getting better and better. we get a bye to get healthy and now ware are going to get ready for the stretch run.

That was my one complaint. That was the only time we had momentum on offense and we needed to keep our defense off the field. Our inability to get anything going on offense was the downfall of this game. If we don't pick off that pass late in the first half we probably get shut out.

I absolutely agree. I felt like we had to go for it. that was our only chance for momentum and we squandered it. to all of you demanding how much time do we give him? I can tell you right now these last 2 years are not flukes. our games against bama will continue to be low scoring slug fests and I think we will win one. I stopped listening to the game can someone tell me how Dominique scored?

We will. We'll lose 5 though. I'm talking about these kind of games in general.

Although nothing erases the wasted loss that was Toledo, it's kind of hard not to be stoked about the rest of the season. We were sure 2–10 was imminent after Texas A&M, but now it's looking like we take the rest of our home games, along with a shot at LSU. We always play them tough, even when we suck. I fully expect a revenge beating @ a very good Ole Miss team, but our 6–6/7–5 is very possible.

We just need to recruit a good RB this class and have one of our highly rated QBs to pan out and next year we could finally be that legitimate good we've been expecting. Of course the schedule will still be a nightmare.

And there's the next year post. New QB and retooling the O Line will then be the excuse

This is what worries me. It seems like timing is never fricking on our side.

Next year should be our year given what we return on defense and the fact our tough SEC games are at home, yet we're starting over at QB and will likely be overhauling the O-line, in addition to possible losses of Collins and Henry.

We are the fricking unluckiest program in FBS.

I already posted all of my thoughts on next season in a thread last night. what we can be hopeful about is the defense should be very good next year like it was last year. the offense will look alot like last year except that the qb will have far and away better recievers. maybe just maybe we can still be good on the offensive line. we have recruited well there. for now I am optimistic about the future but truthfully I am saddened by the way our offense and defense is staggered in terms of eligibility at key positions. we start over on offense next year as the defense becomes seniors. I wish for once we would be equal on both sides of the ball.
