Not much.

I like that it seems our coaching staff stopped striving for perfection on defense and just let the supremely talented and skilled players just play. And, surprise surprise, we have our best performance against a HUNH offense ever.

Didn't watch him too closely, but he made one great play to break up a pass (can't remember when it happened).

This was his best game in awhile.

I agree. He was all over the place. Not a perfect game but he had much more presence than usual. He's a guy that does a lot of different things. He makes plays in the backfield sometimes and he can make some plays in coverage. If he can raise his level of play a little bit and make plays more frequently/consistently like he did today, we'll be in good shape in the secondary.

No one will beat us in BDS. Anywhere else, I have no idea.

i was so down on this team last week. i mean jeez, lost to ole miss, played like crap at arky. no emotion at all. i had literally given up on this team. shame on me. this game gave me and everybody a glimpse of what they can be, and oh my, they can be a lot of good football. not even gonna speculate bout the future games. just gonna enjoy the magnificent game i witnessed yesterday.

a great big thanks and roll tide to this team for yesterdays fantastic performance.

What I took away was we made them quit. It's been awhile since we have seen that.

We got to see what this team is capable of when they don't make mistakes. Zero penalties or turnovers is a big deal.

How much better our secondary looks when we're consistently getting to the QB.

We could still probably be back shoulder faded to death from time to time ("turn around" during football season and "get a fricking rebound" during basketball season are my go to meltdowns), but for the most part with a consistent pass rush our back 4 (5) are more than capable.

Obviously our most complete game of the season. No penalties. No turnovers. I think this win came at a good time especially after the previous 2 games.

It seemed that the D was doing a lot less pre snap adjustments/calls. Not sure if that was the coaches letting them run or getting the proper calls initially. Anyway, they seemed to be playing more instinctually, see ball get ball. It was fun to watch.

Why was JK Scott handling kick offs


As Gary Danielson said, "So he can letter in the game" because it didn't appear Alabama was ever going to punt. That cracked me up.

I think Bama is a youth driven,inexperienced Team that's been learning on the go.

It all came together Saturday.

I don't think I've ever seen a Team so happy to be succeeding.

After all the mental mistakes and fumbles to total domination.

I hope they can take that confidence on the road.

I almost forgot that we decided to give our second string QB meaningful snaps rather than just run the ball 20-30 times to close out games.
