Anybody remember a few years ago when Bobby Petrino was coaching Arkansas, had a really good, young QB(can't recall his name), and played one of Alabama's Nat'l championship teams. By halftime Alabama was up 4 0r 5 TDs, the QB had been literally ravaged by Alabama's defense, but he hadn't been hurt really bad. Arkansas came out in the second half and we didn't see that QB for even 1 snap for the rest of the game. I realized then that even though he was a prick for a human being, Petrino was a pretty smart coach. I wonder if Jones is very smart.

Sounds like the 2008 game, but Casey Dick was the starting QB and I don't think he was a freshman. He threw 3 or 4 INTs, at least one returned for a TD. Ryan Mallett got there the next season and started that game. I think he did get pulled in the 3rd quarter when it was apparent they weren't going to move the football with any consistency. That game was close at halftime, relatively speaking. I think it was 14-0, or 14-3.

Tyler Wilson got slammed by y'all once or two games. I thought the worst was the John L Smith season but I could be wrong. Let's put it this way - many bama fans were fans of him for taking shot after shot and bouncing back up.
