Why are we so bad on the road?

I can't wrap my head around it. Is it OL communication issues? Blake getting nervous? Defensive miscommunication?

shite needs to stop if we hope to leave Baton Rouge with a W.

Our left tackle went down. White was hobbling a little. Blake needs to get better at being a game manager. Fowler needs to not fumble when marching in. If we won the game 41-20 there'd be no nancying.

why was AJ not in for the majority of the 4th quarter. Did he get nicked up?

I think today's problems were different. I feel like we just let up and never kept the momentum.

You mean TJ? If so, then yes.

Is what I believe too.

469 yds and 34 points on the road isn't exactly bad. If the team keeps the mental part up the entire game, it's probably a 50 point game again.

I think Blake looked a little nervous or just confused. Especially when he had to run to the fricking sideline to get the wristband with the plays on it. No offense but you have to lead the team, not look at the defense and then look to the sideline to see what to do.

But I do think he played better on the road than he has and I will say his throws look better.

I thought Blake played a pretty good game. The drive to put us up by 17 showed a lot of poise.

Wait you're serious with this complaint?

Simple answer is Alabama thought Tennessee would roll over like the Aggies did, and were on their heels when they didn't give up. Dobbs changed the game.

Either way, LSU will be a different story. If Alabama can jump to an early lead, I don't think LSU has the horses on offense to mount a comeback.

This game shouldn't worry you, Alabama just took the foot off the gas. However if Alabama plays like they did against Ole Miss or Arky, then we're in trouble.

We NEED a big lead. If it starts out as a slug fest, the night will get more and more ugly.

Blake seems to have big moments each game now and at times looks like he is putting it together. He does some of his best work when he has to scramble.

The game reminded a lot of the USC game from 2010. Where they jumped out early and we could never recover. The problem though was UT is not on par with any of those teams. Even though I think we were not prepared for Dobbs.

Sorry but I like a QB who can call plays when the defense changes up what they are doing.

Dude lost his wristband with all the plays on it and needed it to get a play in while dealing with a hostile environment. I don't see the issue. He made big play after big play tonight.

Look I give him credit as he continues to get better each week and he gave the team confidence back with the that drive.

Blake was good today.

I can't believe people are still finding reasons to complain. The complaint about him being poor because he needed to replace his armband? That is just sad and hilarious.

I mean SMH that is a horrible excuse to hate on him.

The guy helped us get to a 27-0 lead away from home, and when we needed a big drive he lead us down the field.

Dude is WAY better than 1st year AJ and it ain't close.
