I'm beginning to think the rudeness of Bama fans was overblown. Maybe it's cause we won....

Not that I agree with what TeLeFaWx is saying but in the post game presser Saban said something along the line "If we had run the ball you would be asking why we didn't pass it"
Maybe I am misreading what he said but I think in a way he was giving credit to our D saying that there was a good chance it would be stopped either way.
Regardless it was a great game played hard by both sides with studs of the "Old Guard" and the "New Kids" of coaching in Saban and Sumlin.

We have our fair share of idiots. Also, TD/SECRant is not indicative of how people actually are.
Hope you had a great time in Tuscaloosa

Exactly. There is no way to know what would have happened. I know they did try to run it, and weren't always successful. It is just as easy for me to say they would have been stuffed.

I'm glad they decided not to run it. 
Shouldn't have been an issue at that point with 5 points left on the board from special teams garbage. Same story against LSU. We need to find a kicker, and fast.
A couple of quick thoughts on the game...
(1) Even though he didn't have a good game, TJ Yeldon is a hoss. ESPN has him listed at 6'2, 216#, but that dude looked more like 240#. He's going to be a force once he spends more than an off season in the Alabama S&C program.
(2) Biggest surprise to me was the play of John Fulton on Mike Evans. Even though Evans caught 5 balls and made a couple of huge plays on 3rd and long, I was expecting him to break out against Fulton a bit after watching the LSU game based on his height advantage. I think Fulton gives up nearly half a foot to Evans, but the junior came to play and it was clear Evans still has a lot of football to learn.
(3) BDS looked great, and I hope our folks in attendance took note. I wouldn't mind A&M borrowing from the design when it comes time to pick a final plan for the new Kyle Field.
(4) Heard nothing but good things from the folks that traveled to Tuscaloosa bout the hospitality they received from Alabama fans. Maybe y'all would have been nastier if you had thought there was a chance that you might lose the game. Still good to hear that people enjoyed their trip.
