apparently, number 80 is either hurt or lost some of his PT against ULM. He did not have a recorded catch.
I like that the coaches are putting in younger guys at OL. Apparently, the starting LG for game one has now been moved back to a blocking TE. That experiment appears to be over. Both Brockmyer guys got into the game

He was limping when he left the field at Texas.
But I dont know if there was a update during the week prior to ULM..

I get where you're coming from. It's true to a degree that shifting to a passing offense makes both your offense and defense softer with regard to the run. But college football has changed and Saban accepted that. To not accept it means not being able to recruit the best skill players. Not being able to counter when opponents manage to get leads on you.
A very select few teams can find a balance between high octane air it out attack and make their arse quit ground game. Meyer’s best year or two at Ohio State, former Bama teams, and currently, UGA. We’ve lost just about all of the grinding milk the clock game. Lincoln Riley has never figured out that balance. But make no mistake, we’ve gotten softer and it’s to Bama’s detriment.

It's not a bad thing you have to adapt to the times, but it sucks what the sport of football has turned into.. this is bigger than just Alabama.

It is different now than a few years ago across the board pretty much . But if you don’t adapt/change , then you aren’t getting the 5 star WRs, QBs to come to Bama either. The defense plays in space so much these days bc of offenses that the smash mouth days /physical type play is over for a while
Posted on 9/19/22 at 8:15 am to Bear88
The two ILBers HAVE to be great these days and even if so, they will still look bad over and over trying to contend with today's offenses.
Just hold the opponents to 21-24 and hope you can get one more point from your offense.

Take out McClellan's 81 yard run against Texas and what does that do to the numbers?
The numbers are misleading because of the small sample size. The run game doesn't pass the eyeball test. We can't line up and grind out the clock against a decent team when we need to and we can't get short yardage on the ground at critical times. Of course, a lot of that might have to do with snapping the ball 7 yards away from the line to gain on 3rd or 4th and 1. But let's keep banging our head against that brick wall, BOB.
ETA: Bama by the numbers:
34 carries 273 yds 8.03 ypc vs ULM.
32 carries 278 yds 8.66 ypc vs Utah State.
24 carries 161 yds 6.71 ypc vs Texas.
Remove Jase's 81 yard carry and it falls to 23 carries, 80 yards for a 3.8 ypc. So except for 1 tremendous run/busted play, Bama didn't get it done vs. Texas. I don't give a shite what UGA has done so far, they are on cruise control and haven't been tested. I await their match with UT to see if they don't just lean on their arse and play keep away with the Vols O and Hooker.

This line of thinking is so stupid. Take out the run in the middle of a tie game where the execution was perfect because it doesn’t fit my narrative. If you want to take out garbage time long runs sure but don’t discredit the o line or jase for making a big play in a tie game on the road. This o line is nowhere near as bad as last year they just struggle communicating which is to be expected this early in the year with rotating pieces

You remove it because it's an outlier. How many 81 yard runs have we had in the past 5 years? the answer is not many. It's not that it doesn't fit the narrative, it's that it's an anomaly. If we're counting on someone to take it 80 yards to the house every week, we're up shite creek.
If I'm removing every run over 20 or 25 or 30 yards, that's massaging the numbers to prove a point. If I remove one black swan event, it's normalizing the statistics in a small sample size.

But it wasn’t a black swan event because it was executed properly. No team pops off 80 yard runs all the time but that doesn’t mean they don’t count lol. I can see removing garbage time runs or say a long run that a clear hold was missed that sprung the play but removing a well blocked play because it makes the numbers look better than you’d like for your argument doesn’t make sense. It happened in a critical part of the game and was ran to perfection
Posted on 9/19/22 at 9:59 am to BamaBy50
It is really splitting hairs with this argument. Stats can be used to make any argument really . Are we going to get more attempts against Utah St. and ULM than we would P5/SEC defenses? Sure. That is expected . We are a more pass oriented offense than the 2011-15 years and that is fine with me . It takes having that ability in your offense to compete these days , not to mention we have 4 and 5 star talent at our skill positions . I don’t understand posters who can’t see that times change . We all get frustrated when we can’t get a yard sometimes but so times you have to tip your hat to the opposition . They practice and study film and want to win also . All that to say is we are still as physical as most if not all (UGA) . elite teams in the country . Just look at the SECCG and NCG. Our guys were flying around just like old times
Posted on 9/19/22 at 10:02 am to Bear88
I think the argument here is more about consistency. Luckily there are stats now that can do the work phil is talking about and tell you how consistent a running attack/passing attack is (success rate, avg line yds, etc) and there are others that show how explosive a team may be.
As we know, some offenses are average, average, huge play, average, average and some are above average, above average, above average and never have big plays. Those YPA figures might come out to be the same, but the 2 offenses are very different.
