Ty cannot hit players in stride . Everything was late or receivers had to adjust to the ball negating any opportunity to RAC

He waits until they are turned looking at him. The problem is so are the defensive players. Several times our receivers were hit and the ball knocked loose. He also fires a line drive in which at least one was knocked down on a screen they had set up.

This game was easy for Gus. He watched 2 games Vandy and Oklahoma and knew he has us.


Maybe one question to be asking is why the hell Gus isn't in Tuscaloosa?

Give Malzahn a nifty quarterback and his offense clicks. Remember Nick Marshall at Auburn lite us up.

That's when the ref's wouldn't call illegal linemen downfield.

You could do a helluva lot worse than having Gus Malzahn as your OC.

As a matter of fact...we are.

We don’t have a quarterback to run his offense efficiently. We have pocket passers not ultra athletic dual threat players.

Tough ask on a new QB to start in that environment. Game was moving a bit fast. But hey, I don’t want to watch rent-a-wins, so it is what it is. He’ll get better. Timing will improve, Williams’ drops were uncharacteristic…I hope.

Very concerned about the run game after the first drive. Not sure what happened and why we abandoned it. One dimensional offense with a young quarterback in that environment isn’t a good recipe for success.

Defense should flashes of greatness in the fourth quarter. Not sure what they started doing. They have just been bringing more pressure, but it was too little too late.

FSU DC made an adjustment in DL play that shut down the Bama inside run game. The LG & LT were crap. The RT played better than the LT but FSU was able to bull rush him. Center & RG were the only OL Bama could run behind...but not good enough to keep the chains moving.

What was the DL adjustment vs the run? Saw the stunting vs the pass but couldnt tell what stopped the run, and then we stopped trying.

It's surprising we don't have more size and better DL. Massive weak spot. But I don't think the secondary showed anything yesterday. Got burnt by squirrel, easily, didn't seem to ever make a play, and Bray looked bad. He missed several tackles. I thought he got exposed

What about 5 and 12 on defense? They were awful.

They made a few good stops in the second half but did not get the last stop they needed to give us a chance to tie it up or win.

And I knew there was no chance they’d get a clutch stop because clutch performance has not been a characteristic of this regime through 14 games.

FSU is going to lose 4-5 games, they’re not that good..and they made us look pedestrian.


I dont see 4 or 5 losses on their schedule. 2 losses is my guess. 3 tops. They have to playe Miami, Clemson, and Florida. Those are the only three questionable games on their schedule imo.

It’s not just one terrible game. This is the same team that lost to Michigan, OU, Vandy, etc. We are 5-5 over the last 10 games. We’ve lost 3 of the last 4 and we’re double digit favorites in all of them. Yesterday wasn’t an outlier. It was the new normal.


I get it. Maybe it is new normal. I wanna see how they respond against Wisconsin and Georgia

I know he’s a freshman but he was tip toeing around like it was a dress rehearsal practice.
