Obviously tua is great and our kicking game is bad. Made a 47 yarder though. Running game looked weak until late. Giving up 23 points and alot of yards

Our punting game is bad.

Our place kicking has moved from leans bad to toss up. Since he took over in the middle of the Arky State game, Bulovas is 13/13 on XPs and 4/5 on FGs. If he can keep that up the rest of the year we'll be more than happy with how it all turned out.

Running game needs reps. We're good at it in spurts but tend to have breakdowns. Got to be able to do it consistently.

this is a function of sabans always letting up. This is and always has been my only criticism of him. He preaches about total dominance, making people not want to play us, then we let up every time. If the other team is trying to score we should be trying to score

they were in base D from what I could tell hoping that Tua would not be on fire. Backfired

No doubt. Punting was terrible and way, way, way too many penalties on returns.

I just wanted to point out that it might be time to recognize the job Bulovas has done off the bench. He may stink it up next week, but thus far he has been more than adequate. Hell, today he was the special teams star player of the week.

No push in the middle for the running game. All the yards were outside

which is why I wondered why we did not run more outside to loosen up the middle

What was really pissing me off were those delayed runs that were obviously not working. It seemed like every time we just handed it off we got good yardage.

Dear Oline coaches... who is our OL? do they have an identity? Seems very mediocre in the run game and barely passable in the passing game. Mostly there just seems to be no consistency like good blocking.. but I am not sure and why I am asking for the OLine guys here to point out the good that I am not seeing
seems the Bama Running Game has run away or is out of steam

Excellence: Tua once again looked great. A lot of talented sophomores and freshmen playing, so we are set for the next two seasons. I also liked how we responded to A&M’s field goals in the first half with touchdowns. The team knows how to respond.

Concern: Defense needs to play a little better in certain areas. Kicking game. Running game needs to pick it up.

Is everyone still as high on this team as they were after last week’s game? I still think this could be our best team ever.

OL looked soft as hell today. Our playcalling got stale at a few points but this line doesn’t look like it can impose its will on a good defense.

So much this! I was screaming for them to stop running these parallel plays. Line up with the rb about 5 yards behind the los and let him get the ball running downhill.

Concern: poor open field tackling. Not used to seeing a Saban D whiff so much in open field.
