Kiffin did a pretty good job / D is just scary

What say you rant?
I really didn't know what to expect because I was not for Kiffin's hire but I'd call the offense a mild success.
Over 550 yards of offense. One receiver over 125 yards. Two 100 yard ball carriers. A 250 years passing performance by a new QB. He settled Blake Sims down a lot after the first drive or two. Didn't get cra-cra after his one pick.
Now the defense needs some serious help. I'm thankful we don't have A&M early this year - they would score 50 on us. Hopefully we can get some young guys ready to go/get some guys back from injury/suspension soon. The LBers looked horrible, getting players in the wrong plays, etc. The DBs (well, Sylve more than anyone) is not ready for big time football.

When did West Virginia get a defense?
Let me know how Sims does against Florida.

beat 4-8 WVU with one of the worst D in the country by 10

Kiffin called a really good game. Only two or three calls were bad. Some plays we just didn't execute. But man I love what he's done. He fed our playmakers (Coop, White, Yeldon, Henry) and we showed a few new looks.
That was only like 15-20% of the O, I imagine. As he continues to install, it'll only get better. We had over 500 yards on O despite losing the TO battle, having more penalties, a new QB, our #2 WR getting hurt in the 3rd quarter, two new OL, and a true Freshmen LT.

they passed too much, should have just let the stable of backs do damage. lsu had the same issue until the second half.

We need Eddie Jackson and Tony Brown on corner.

Saban was on his nuts practically the whole game. But overall he did have a decent playcalling day. Your backs are going to give us all fits this year.
I wouldn't hang your hat on such good stats - it was WVU afterall, but they started to gel toward the end so that is a positive

If Tony Brown or Jackson isn't starting over Sylve now, the. Why would you want them starting at all?
I thought BAMA fans put all their trust in Saban and his evaluations?

Saban barely responded to Kiffin. He was just listening. And the television broadcast made it seem like Saban was hanging around Kiffin more than he really was.

Has any Tennesee fan earned the right to even be on this board? Can't believe a Tennesee fan could use a computer.

Eddie Jackson has been banged up. Should be back Saturday.

Alabama is old news. No one cares

Don't sleep on Kiffin. The guy is legit. He will have this offense humming. Cooper and the running backs will all put up filthy numbers.

I love how Bama played last year's WVU team. 
They'll compete for the Big 12 title.

You gumps just discard any evidence that doesn't fit your narrative.

Hey, last year's WVU team beat OKST.
So if Bama sucks, so does FSU.

Kiffin has a great offensive mind. He was a great hire for Bama.
