Make it make sense.

Grubb can't actually execute the plays he only can call them and they were there, we just didn't execute well.

How Grubb used Bernard the entire 4th Qtr was beautiful and masterful.

Dudes trick plays were money today.
We need to be able to run the ball. OL was having trouble pass blocking. Have to have the threat of the run

I don’t think that play against UT was actually a fumble. Don’t know why it wasn’t reviewed.

You can say the deep balls were great calls because the were open; however, if your QB can't hit it and you keep calling it without success... That's stupid. He kept trying to pound the rock up the middle with Jam when it was obviously not working. Calling plays that aren't getting executed expecting a different result is insane. You have to adapt to what is working that night. Grubb doesn't always seem to do that. There are times when he looks genius... Times when he seems to be pulling stuff randomly from a hat. And then there are times he keeps the same plays expecting different results.

Obviously, we aren't in the huddle and can only assume we know what's going on.

I was talking about the creative plays. I'm aware the players made mistakes. I'm also talking about the running the ball twice, back to back, to start the game and to start the half when we've had no luck running the ball.

Make that make sense.

We did the same last week coming out of the half, it was a 3 and out then too.

If the ball comes out before the arm moves forward, it’s a fumble, but we won anyway.

I understand that balance is needed to a degree in any good offense, but the regular handoff between the tackles just hasn't worked at all. I think it would be better if Grubb got more creative earlier in games. I'm sure he's a smarter man than I am though so feel free to correct me if my thinking makes no sense.

if the ball was out before his arm moved forward, how did he impart forward momentum to it?

Because the ball came loose from his hand before he completed the throwing motion.

Ball must be firmly in control during the forward motion

ETA: I hated the call as well, but it is what it is, and we still won soundly.

One hit RW in the fingertips.

One was for Germie, who was interfered with pretty clearly by a DB that never turned his head around.

The other Ty just missed him. Not sure what happened there.

So 1/3 were "inaccurate."

Teams that bail on the run because their QB is really good, generally find out soon that it's hard to turn back and have any confidence in running at all when you need it and they go the route of all these other pretenders.


I agree with this but does Alabama have any confidence running the ball? Most short yardage situations you see them have to get creative to pick up a yard.

He over threw RW; who couldn't even get to the ball at full speed while diving. If the ball were accurate it have hit RW in stride for an easy TD.

He threw high over Germie Bernard open on that dig route. Ball was thrown hard and fast well over Germie's head. If he had thrown it accurately it hits Germie in stride and he scores a TD. Even those pathetic commentators admitted that.

He threw that deep ball short. Had he throw it accurately Germie doesn't have to slow down and the CB can't recover and break up the pass. If you see Sellers one great pass that night it was an accurate deep ball to Nabors who didn't have to slow down and caught it in stride.. if he threw that like Ty did #2 breaks up that pass and they don't score there.


It's okay to admit Ty struggled with accuracy last night. He is still the best.

OC still has to try to establish the run and at least give the threat we can run it or attempt to outsmart SC and catch them when they attempt to pin their ears back.

Why this concept is lost is incredible. Literally anyone who has ever played or watched football should understand this.

IIRC correctly Ty threw two like this last night. It happens

In regard to the run game when JAM attacks up field he gains those tough yards but he wants to dance to much at times and it costs him.

The thing is, we're never really going to establish the run until late in the game against a tired defense. Our OL isn't good enough for that. Especially against a strong defensive front. We just can't abandon the run entirely like a lot of people want to. That'd be stupid and leave Ty a sitting duck.

Would end up like the LSU offense where Nuss is just getting physically beaten down...
