I fear the second half. We do not have the ability to throw the football. Clemson seems to be hitting their stride in offense.

Saban is terrible at calling timeouts. I agree. Jalen knows it's a bad play call , but the poor kid is a freshman , it's up to the coaches to do that shite

Bo hasn't had much room his last several carries. We probably need to get Stewart on the edge a little more to try to spread out that middle.

Clemson never comes out strong in the 3rd quarter so hopefully that trend will continue

We have to just run the ball, and eat clock and rest our defense. If we're scared to throw on 3rd and 6, that says a lot. We need to just run Bo and hope for the best.

He has no idea when to call them.

They should give him one or two audibles that he can make.

Give Jalen the opening drive of the second half. If he doesn't move the ball we may need to think about bringing it Bateman.

We allowed Clemson 45 plays in the first half, despite defensive dominance. That's GOTTA change

I mean, I thought the 2nd down was a bad call, but how many times have you ever seen a football team take a timeout to draw up a 2nd & 5 play? Pretty much never. Bizarre take.




You take a timeout because you're in their territory and you don't want it to be 3rd and 5 and the drive to be squandered. You come up with a play call on 2nd and execute. Puts you in scoring range which would put you up by 2 score and no other time would you be able to use said timeouts except with a meaningless 19 seconds left like we just saw. Stupidly.

Bama once again leaving points out there in the first half with penalties, and refusing to take easy yards with the run game.

The defense is going to have to ball out to win this thing.

I never have any idea what our offense is trying to do.

If we can't control the ball with our run game, or we refuse to, we're going to lose

This we had several great opportunities with great field position and blew it.
