Has anyone seen a Bama team reaction video?

Seems like all the others have been posted. They said UW didnt have a team meeting but Saban usually does. Where we at?

I’m mean they do that about other things but this is a big stretch. But hey, Florida Man is real.

Cole Cubelic’s takeaways

ALABAMA: Huge win. Got them a shot to play for the title. We're the more physical team. RG & RT had some impressive combos. 65 was really good. QB made big plays with legs. Missed a few throws. Couple busts in protection. RBs ran hard. Nice job scheming them open. Loved how Tommy seemed to be saving the zone read stuff then 3rd drive said frick it turn him loose. 2nd down sack was brutal. Can't take that. 17 huge. TEs really helped, especially 45, he assisted on a few routes getting open. 41 & 15 caused just enough havoc. 92 played well. 91 & 96 flashed. 3 was phenomenal. The transfer DBs were huge with 1 going out. 17 played possessed. 32 good. 13 proved his value. Limited explosives going more 4 down. I saw 1 play they brought 5. Just a hell of a job from Saban & Co this year. Limited flags. Did not turn it over.


GEORGIA: Brutal loss. Didn't lose fight. Loved the 1st drive plan. Seemed to get away from what worked there just a bit & live in pocket more. QB was doing a ton at LOS. Too cute backed up. Hurt when 65 when out. Couldn't get run game going. Liked using tempo but again seemed to be early & late. QB was pretty sharp for the most part. Protection wasn't bad. Needed more 19. 84 gutsy. Thought 86 could have helped more. Thought safeties were pretty damn good. Made up a ton of ground. Caught underneath in zone a few times. 2 spies hurt in coverage. 11 was a mad man. 97 solid again. 52 made some plays. Didn't understand not hurrying to sneak again. Can't question the effort. Can't convince me they aren't one of the 4 best teams.

The thing is, Bama didn't play it's A game. I'd give that a B+. Maybe I'd give them an A after the 1st quarter. C in the 1st quarter. Not their best and still beat the 2 time champs , leading the last 3 quarters.

I wish the Rose Bowl did not insist on being on New Year’s Day in the years that it’s a playoff game. I wish the game were on Saturday, December 30th. A lot of people will be going back to work on January 2nd, so it would be nice not to have to go to work the day after the game.

Alabama to Play Michigan in College Football Playoff Semifinal

The Crimson Tide and Wolverines will meet for the sixth time in the series history when they meet on New Year’s Day

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide will square off with the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff Semifinal on Monday, Jan. 1, 2024, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The contest is slated to kick off at 4 p.m. CT (5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT) and will be televised on ESPN.

The Crimson Tide and Wolverines will meet for the sixth time in the history of the series that dates back to 1988. It will mark the second-straight time the two storied programs will meet in the postseason as Alabama defeated Michigan, 35-16, in the 2019 Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla. With that win, the Tide now leads the all-time series, 3-2.

The winner of the Semifinal between Alabama and Michigan will meet the winner of the contest between the No. 2 Washington Huskies and the No. 3 Texas Longhorns, who will play in the CFP Semifinal Game at the Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans on Jan. 1, 2024. The 2024 CFP National Championship Game is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 8 at NRG Stadium in Houston.

Alabama will make its eighth appearance in the Rose Bowl with this year's selection, owning a record of 5-1-1 in those contests. Most recently, the Tide defeated Notre Dame in the 2021 College Football Playoff Semifinal Game at the Rose Bowl (game played in Arlington, Texas due to COVID), 31-14.

Head coach Nick Saban is 16-6 in postseason games at Alabama, earning wins over Kansas State (2023 Sugar Bowl) Cincinnati (2022 CFP Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic), Ohio State (2021 CFP National Championship Game), Notre Dame (2021 CFP Semifinal Game at the Rose Bowl), Michigan (2019 Citrus Bowl), Oklahoma (2018 CFP Semifinal Game at the Orange Bowl), Georgia (2018 CFP National Championship Game), Clemson (2017 CFP Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl and the 2016 CFP National Championship Game), Washington (2016 CFP Semifinal Game at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl), Michigan State (2015 CFP Semifinal Game at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic).

Prior to the CFP, the Tide defeated the Fighting Irish (2013 BCS National Championship Game at the Orange Bowl), LSU (2012 BCS National Championship Game at the Allstate Sugar Bowl), Michigan State (2011 Capital One Bowl), Texas (2010 BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl) and Colorado (2007 Independence Bowl).

This team has played with such a chip and an edge, I honestly think all of this hate for them will create a beast in the last two games.

Yep Milroe was a warrior but he did not play his best game. Missed a lot of throws.

That's why he needs to come back next year(and he should). He can put in the work to fix his mechanics and his accuracy. He has all the tools.

Our offense could be unstoppable next season.

Had a couple dropped INTs and missed plays. Need Amos and Arnold back as well. I'm just looking out for them.

This was my biggest problem... we had between 2-4 dropped INTs. With the talent we have at DB, we have to get that cleaned up. This game could have been much worse for UGA if we snag 1-2 of those opportunities.

The missed throws by Milroe will always be there, but at least they are trending in the right direction (less often).

Had we got two of them we could have blown it wide open.

Either way I’m happy we are in position to make them.

Boz are we going to be healthy going into the first CFP game. I cant think of anyone who is out without nagging stuff who would not be healthy by game day.

Hearing anything among the younger guys who might portal out including a QB not named Buchner

I never feel out with Milroe.

If they unleash the beast, designed run every 3-4 downs and put him on a 3 second clock to get vertical, he is lethal.

And, if they could catch better, they'd play offense. It's frustrating but I'll take the breakups.

Hopefully that means the medical issues that kept him out this year are behind him!

I agree. I think we played a B game. Milroe reverted back to being indecisive and taking sacks. Our defense was really good, but we dropped 5 pick if we get three of those and we blow Georgia out
