Had a similar thought. Hope it works out that way.

I wouldn’t be shocked if we Nurse Keelon through this game and Mack plays the whole game vs Chattanooga
This is what I'd like to see. I know you can't take ANY sec game lightly...esp on the road...but I'd sure like to see Mack playing the entire second half...and running the actual offense.

Keelon made several plays on his feet after this injury. Unless it worsens, I imagine he’s full go. And he will need to be to beat an SEC team on the road.
Not even under .500 Vandy is 2010s or earlier under .500 Vandy anymore. If Alabama plays with a hangover and/or backup QB, take your BP meds and keep your cool.

I think Keelon was already injured going into the LSU game, DeBoer said something to that effect. I've read somewhere that he was in a boot for part of the last couple of weeks. Hopefully we can rest him as much as possible, to prepare for the latter part of the season.

Gotta play a complete game and not let up.
Who starts in place of Ford?

Danny Lewis and Lyndsey is now the backup.
I suspect we see somewhat less 13 personnel and somewhat more Cede Morgan.

Dear Lord please help this team to mature and not wet their pants against inferior competition again after winning a big game. I think the finish to this year will tell us a lot about how mature the program has become. They are much better than every team left on their schedule. Whether they show up and play like it is still left to be determined.

Lewis (87) is a good blocker but if you’re playing a blocking TE it would be Ford over Lewis. I don’t think our 13 personnel utilization would go down to be quite honest. We’ve basically made 88 into a fullback just to get him snaps.
If it does diminish, it will be because we can run out of 3 WR as you suggest with Meadows and Morgan showing that they can do some down blocking or wrap around blocking from condensed sets.

And my analysis of WR blocking at the point of attack:
They don’t do it well. They’re great at stalk blocking and engaging defenders in space but I’ve seen a lot of assignment or technique misses from WRs asked to get involved right at the point of attack.

It's pretty infuriating to see teams get 10-12 yards on bubble screens against us, but when we compete one we get 1-2 yards max.

It just looked like a generic ankle sprain. Could be an avulsion fracture or a grade 2 hence the boot rumor.

Under Deboer we have not done well after big wins. This year we followed up Miss State w/ a loss to UGA. Last year we followed up Oklahoma in the playoff w/ the Indiana debacle. In 2024 we followed up the UGA win with the Vandy loss.

The only example of not doing well after a big win in your post is the Vandy loss.
Georgia is significantly better than Mississippi State and so was Indiana compared to Oklahoma.

These coaches need to up their dress game until they start winning big

I have no issue losing to Georgia esp. in a game we damn near won. And Indiana last year looked exactly how a Bama team is supposed to look. No shame in those losses.
But losing to Vandy, Oklahoma (2x) and Tennessee is inexcusable.

I feel like Alabama lost two games against Tennessee where they were the better team in a vacuum but played incredibly poorly in that environment. However at least that 2024 Tennessee team made the playoffs and the 2026 team seems poised to do the same if they win out.

That's something I think isn't getting talked about enough from last weekend. We handled the environment significantly better Saturday. Not sure if its because we had our center back or what. The drive we had after LSU took the lead, when the crowd was at its craziest was our best drive of the game. The line gave KR12 a clean pocket on the long throw to Rico when we normally sht the bed in a situation like that. 3 false start penalties are still to many, but it was a marked improvement over how we've handled the noise in the past.
