I think I'd rather have the goat from the Geico commercials calling the offense...

Aside from the failed 4th down, what was the point of running quick outs to pick up 3-4 yards before the FG? First down, :24 left. Risk vs. reward. Why not just run the ball, run the clock down, and take the last time out? There was nothing to be gained and everything to lose.

Bryce saved the game it's not on him

Is there any playcallers on staff? Some young guy that’s done it before?

Applewhite was pretty bad.

Applewhite sucked pretty good. BOB is giving him a run for his money though. Sheesh Louise. No creativity at all. Time to send his chimpled butt back to pro ball where he belongs.

Rader wasn't under Saban.
Also, who knew that Dave Rader was an Oklahoma St Senator.

He didn’t say Rader was OC under Saban. He said he is the worst OC in Alabama history. I knew he was a senator because I randomly looked him up a few months ago.

He somehow has no idea how to exploit an advantage. It’s maddening. How he is still employed is beyond me.

Texas was sending more than they could block. The OL didn’t play bad. This was all scheming on the OC.

Bill O Brian is fricking terrible at his job and I hate him more than anyone that’s ever coached at this esteemed university and that includes Fran. They beat with 4 a lot though.
My problem is, the coach has to account for his units weaknesses. BoB has 13 yard routes and whatever the frick you want to call that pop up and throw it behind the line of scrimmage to the edge. If I’d told you 30 years ago that we’d be lining up in 5 wide shotgun and motioning a guy in, to hand him the ball laterally in 4th and 8 inches, you would rightfully look at me like I had 3 heads. The guy has like 25 plays and runs them over and over. Kiffin puts up 50 today. Sark puts up 50 today. We’ve got the best quarterback we’ve ever had at Alabama, and he’s proving that in spite of his limp Dick coach. Why on earth Saban held onto him I’ll never know. I know they self scout, and we’ve gone from a nightmare to prep for to everybody knows what we do. That’s on both sides of the ball. I’m glad my expectations were dashed early. Nothing against the boys. We’ve got more talent than anyone. We’ve got two lame ducks calling plays. Never lost my shite today but I came dangerously close when I saw Brian Branch rushing the QB 2 seconds after he snapped the ball. I’m rambling now, but gosh damn these kids have the talent to run roughshod over college football and we’re in dogfights with fricking Texas…because Texas has playcallers that can account for inferior talent.

It's very difficult to compare Applewhite to the others due to what he had to work with. By the time of the suspensions, we had a single playmaker and JPW. I don't think he's great, or even good... it's just hard to compare him to everyone else
