I hope Boz's info on the guys being back for the IB is correct. I have a hard time seeing us controlling Stidham with the LBs we're playing right now.

Don't see Stidham beating us with his legs...his arm, maybe, not his legs...after watching our DL that game, Kerryon Johnson worries me more than Stidham...and their DL could give us some issues as well...Hurts may have to carry us again to win it...

Hurts seems so calm out there no matter what happens, good or bad...converted that 4th down on the tying drive and then the third and 15 strike to Ridley...he was clutch with the game on the line...

That really felt like a game we were going to lose. Lots of issues coming out of it but those last 12 minutes were awesome.

Except for the 3 plays leading up to the field goal attempt.

I’m worried about the IB, but you know what? As pissed as I? was that UGA lost, maybe that, along with this struggle win, was good. Because Saban is gonna be fried up.

Yea - the intangibles are as good as anyone could ever want.

The Jimmies and Joe's at LB are scary, but we'll be at peak mental prep with the stuff they'll hear and see for 2 weeks. Auburn won't have the 2013 little guy thing to work with. National media is going to be all over them.

I think that the fact that we are still undefeated right now speaks volumes. The IB will be a battle but I'm confident in our guys. Roll mutherfricking tide my dudes

Just glad we got two weeks. Hell Auburn may be favored

Based on recent performances and home field, they should be.

That game reminded me of the last time I watched a game in StarkVegas. It was 1992 and Bama had a similar close call but went on to win the NC over Miami in the Sugar Bowl.

We have two fine QBs. We could win with either. I’ll leave it at that.

I’m dreading the IB now. Saban doesn’t have a great record as a circle the wagons kind of coach. He’s a technician not a rah-rah guy. And you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shite. We have no choice but to throw Dylan Moses out there and hope his athleticism can make up for his lack of knowledge. Holcombe wouldn’t have started under Shula. He has no business on the field in the SEC. Sorry, but facts are facts. He’d be a fine LB at Troy or UAB.

Hurts put this team on his shoulders and calmly led them to safety tonight. He made clutch plays, throws and all the time with ice water in his veins. He overcame some questionable play calling at times to do it too.

I said it once, and I’ll say it again. I Love Rammer Jammer. But when we escape with a narrow, hard fought victory, it really sounds bush league. Can we learn when NOT to play it?? We were SUPPOSED to beat the hell out of you. Instead, we snuck out of Starkville with a shaky W. Nothing to be proud of.

Calvin played great too

Calvin was just as awesome
