and were there any Bama players who might have helped. (draft eligible guys only as we know Henry killed it but he has 2 more years before he can declare.) Last year in the NC you will recall that Teo looked pretty bad and dropped to the early 2nd round.

edited to say Teo did not go first round.

Curus for sure...maybe he just had a bad game but he got killed with the speed rush. Maybe its just techniqye with him tho cause he has the talent

I saw at least once when he got beat he did not have his arms extended to push the guy away. His arms were bent like he was run blocking. If anyone thought he was top 10 last night puts him late first or potentially second round

Outside the two INT's (which were horrible), I've seen QBs have much worse games. All QB's have bad games. AJ threw for nearly 400 yards. He also had 2 TD/2 INT. But you can't say the game he played last night has any effect on high draft stock if anyone of Manziel's bad games don't on him. Actually looking at purely passing numbers it would be absurd to think AJ's bowl game would drop him anymore than say JFF's LSU game would.

CyKo need to just forget any thoughts he had of entering the draft and keep his arse in T-town for another season.

Agreed. CyKo looked lazy and unmotivated. It seems he was already cashing his nfl checks in his mind. He needs to come back another year and not look like arse.

CK got beat off of the edge last night more than ive seen a top tier person get burned in a LONG time at Bama... He just seemed a step slower last night, and the cat he was up against ate his wheaties yesterday morning.

For all the ridicule of Big 12 football, Oklahoma was built to compete in a shootout.

Def Cyrus K. He looked like a pup out there. The other would probably be AJ unfortunately. He got rattled and threw into coverage more than I've ever seen. Granted his o line didn't give him much help, You could def tell in the 2nd half that his mind was only worried about staying upright

Go back and look at the replay (closely) on the first INT. The spot where AJ put the ball was exactly where it needed to be if he was going to make that pass. He hit the spot where Norwood would have been...except. While the ball was in the air the OK DB grabbed KN's shirt tail and pulled him off his route leaving only the FS where the ball ended up. The choice of throwing into triple coverage was not good but the ball placement was dead right.

The second INT, nothing else to say but a bad choice and a good play by the DB. That one is all on AJ.

Since I see no threads on it, and I do not want to start a new one, I thought the officiating was bad on blatant personal fouls last night. Before I go any farther, Bama got dominated, did not deserve to win the game, etc.

I am not trying to blame it on the officials at all, but how in the hell do they miss a guy record a sack, pull his helmet off, let off some war cry, then put it back on? Really?! Then, early in the game, at the end of a play, CyKo was literally getting drug around by his facemask with a ref standing right there, only to run in and break them up. The Norwood jersey tug should have been thrown, but it was not as obvious as the other two IMO.

Missing that was pretty unbelievable, but they also flubbed it when they called PF on Oklahoma for a "throat slash."

Yep, guess the official caught it from the back and just saw his arms moving in that direction, but yeah, a pretty poorly officiated game.

Was I the only one who saw a ton of two men in motion and snapping before all 11 were set?

I swear uo had a couple arena football plays.

Yep all spread offenses are getting away with not being set. And it seems spread offenses are incapable of holds as well.

Exactly. But the officiating isn't what cost Bama the game.

Back to the OP, I would definitely not draft Kouandjio after that performance.

CyKo for sure. After that, I am going with Yeldon simply because I think he lost a lot of next year's carries to Henry last night.
