No surprise Turner went, but I wasn’t a fan of his attitude when making that public.


Turner was upset about the way he was used in the game. He evidently said he was not allowed to rush the passer, was used more in coverage. He did not agree with the decision. Obviously he was upset about the loss too.

I realize this, but it’s no excuse. You gotta have a higher emotional intelligence and maturity. Everyone was upset about the loss.

I agreed with him and said multiple times that game and this season “holy shite can we please rush Dallas Turner and drop someone who isn’t the most talented edge in college football into coverage?”

That being said I really wish he’d composed himself in that moment. I get the frustration/anger. But we obviously all love Dallas and that kinda felt like a gut punch that he’s was so cold about it. He loves Will Anderson and this felt like the opposite of Will

Same. Dude is about to go the NFL where we will be a pass rusher, and he was hamstrung in the biggest game of the year, or at least that is what it seemed like. I can't blame him for being peeved.

I am not sure how much Alabama does it anymore but some OC's on teams we have played the last couple of years do this funny little thing where they study film and figure out how Alabama D adjusts to specific shifts and motions. One of those shifts moved Turner back off the line and into the pass coverage scheme rather than rushing the passer. Texas and Michigan both did it to Alabama.
