- Pass rush is coming together

- Cyrus is solid, but not a top tier corner like Dee/Dre

- Eddie is coming along nicely

- LC is a beast

- We've given up 1 offensive TD all year.

- They had 4 FGs, but one was a gift off the muffed punt.

- OL looks really good at times, but there are tiny stretches where they don't get a lot of push

- Best RBs in the country. 1-5 + Sims, we can run on anyone

- Coop is the best WR in the country, we knew that. He's just on another level.

- Yeldon probably mad Drake got to stack TDs and he's the one in range of Ingram's record

- Coker scored on that run, we should have challenged. Screwed out of a TD for a FG

- Sims was good with the ball, a little rattled pre snap, but in the second half (especialy with HUNH) he looked much better

- Coker played well. One drop, one slight overthrow to one of our slower receivers. His only incompletions. The sack was bad, but that said he scored two plays earlier.

- Roll

- Damn

- Tide

I would love to see the secondary get better. They occasionally get gashed. The D doesn't give up many points but I miss when our D crushed spirits of all our opposition in every way possible.



Special teams= not frick up. The kicking game is worlds better. We are giving up cheap points though. I want the other team to have to earn it against our D. It makes everything so much easier.



The O looks good. I would like a vertical threat but as long as we are keeping the D honest with an occasional gainer I can live with the short/intermediate pass game. Run game is beastly.

Mo Smith and Tony Brown need to see more playing time. I have a bad feeling Cyrus Jones is going to have THAT game. I hope I am wrong...

Does OJ Howard play football anymore, haven't heard his named called all year.

Did TJ Yeldon get hurt, didn't play in the 2nd half.

Coker looked a lot better, Bama will need him to win the SEC.

THROW THE DAMN BALL TO OJ HOWARD!!!!!!!!!

Seems like we're saving him for SEC play.

Don't care. We should have been throwing every down. Screw making friends. Be ruthless. Make them hate playing you. Make them stop you. No one is playing to be classy. Taking a knee breeds complacency. Taking a knee fights what Saban preaches. MAKE their arse quit.

Howard is a big physical target. They need to just throw it high to him and let him make the play. Coker had him open on the play he tried to run in but he's to slow to cock and throw.

Using Dominick Jackson as a fullback = sadistic evilness. definitely something kiffin came up with.

Yeah I remember the days when you didn't take a bathroom break when the D was on the field because it was generally 3 and out for the opposing team. It ain't that way no more

3 games and still no interceptions by secondary

Need to involve more than Coop, especially when VH3 covering him next week

No major injuries to report

Offensive line kept the QB clean again, no sacks I think


Running game is going to be a problem for other teams, we have 3 more than capable backs


Sims is the man. Make the decision already

I think we've been saving Howard for this. Plus White will be back and he probably has a lot of catches now too if he hadn't gotten hurt. Sims was throwing to him too vs WVU.

Secondary is very suspect.

Run D is not up to Bama standards.

Sims is good but is not a good downfield passer. At least he hasn't shown it yet.

Coker is improving, and the race would be much closer imo if he had connected on his last few bombs.

Cooper is great but is getting targeted WAY too much. What happens when a competent D bottles him up?

Something must be up with OJ Howard. There is no excuse to not be getting him catches.

Fair, but

Ummm, we're giving up like 40 yards per game or something on the ground. And like 2 YPC.

I'm waiting until the UF game. Saving him for that is a typical Saban move.

Screw that boundary/field corner nonsense. Put Jackson on Robinson next week all over the field. Don't let him Mike Evans us.

Love LC playing the middle of the field in the nickel. Improves speed and allows him to be more involved in the blitz package
