You're more than welcome to check my post history for trolling. Fact still remains that Alabama is the reason the entire country has been calling the SEC's playoff worthiness into question.

Idk Oregon has a rushing attack and an oline.


Oregon doesn't have a defense though.

I guess that doesn't count now?

That our defense would nullify their offense and our offense would still be able to have some sort of success against their defense.

Yeah but we should have hired Dan Lanning cuz he's part of the Saban coaching tree and Deboer is not.

No we still suck but it’s fixable if you find strong mean trench players who play like they are pissed off every snap. That’s always been the difference in Alabama and everyone else during the first 10-12 yrs of Alabamas run.

There are some delusional people here. Indiana could be somewhat of a prefect storm like Auburn was in 2010. Auburn had a lot of mature experienced players to go with Cam. We will see as soon as next year. Mendoza was the difference in the Ohio State game. He could be against Miami. It is a home game for Miami so they might hang with them. An Ohio State fan friend of mine told me they lost 17 players in the portal. It is harder to build the team mentality now.

Saban is partially responsible for the slow footed running backs and linemen on our team. We defiantly need a coach that can recognize slow feet, though. Our running backs compared to the teams we are watching are, night and day. I agree about Indiana’s receivers. They, along with the quarterback are crazy good.

Maybe DeBoer was right about that thin line.....we aren't as bad as we thought.....
Deboer is 'Shula-like' delusional so I wouldn't base much from his evaluation of things.

The thin line comment was such cluelessness. Terrible message even if there was more to the overall statement, you can’t let that one be uttered because it is a hilarious sound bite after what the nation saw unfold.

He reminds me more of Butch Jones with all the champions of life talk after getting curb stomped.

With respect, we don't suck but we can clearly reach that status if things don't change before September.

magine if we didn't go for it on 4th down and Tt didn't fumble... we go into halftime with a close game.

Indiana is about to beat Oregon worse in one half then they beat us over a full game

Yet some were begging to fire Kalen and hire Lanning

This was my takeaway after rewatching the game.
It wasn't nearly as bad as the final score made it seem.

Mid 2nd quarter our offense was really driving the football well. We were only down 10-0 in spite of the 4th down turnover.
Ty Simpson took off for a great run, got about 15-20 yards, and then took a hard shot, barely fumbled it, and broke his ribs.
That was basically the end of the game. 2 turnovers in the first half plus Ty breaking his ribs is why we lost the way we did.

We came out, and just had a terribly unlucky first half vs. the most solid team in the country. shite happens.
