He probably saved us some embarrassment from Penix throwing for 500 yards on us.

This dude cannot miss tonight and is throwing piss missiles everywhere.

Sadly this is probably the truth

Killed multiple drives for us. Been doing it all season. Even that snap on the last play of the game was low.
Amen.

This was the worst game this year snapping the ball. I’m going to blame him, but I’m going to blame the coaches more.

How on earth can you not fix that over the course of the season? He literally had NO games this year Milroe didn’t pick at least 2 off his shoe tops or have to match a great catch to keep one from sailing by on the right.

He’d be snapping short if I was his coach only because he couldn’t lift his arms after all the push ups.

Repeating what I’ve said earlier. 4th quarter of this game on now and I don’t think I’ve seen a single snap to either QB below the waist. Not all McLaughlins fault tonight but man it throws everything off when the QB doesn’t get the ball cleanly.

When you’re completely focused on the snap, because you have NO IDEA where it’s going, you’re a second or two late on what you’re supposed to be looking at or doing.

Our first TD Milroe got it off the ground and barely was able to make the handoff. His ability to field all those terrible snaps all year is pretty impressive.

There were so many bad and low snaps the 2nd half, it was comical. Milroe was dancing on every snap just to try and catch it.

Saban needs to go after the best center in the portal.

Teach someone how to play it.

I’m jealous. Seriously so because I’m watching these teams play and every snap is right in the peach basket. The qb’s aren’t having to worry about it rolling to them or having to make a great grab to keep it from sailing by. So much easier for the qb’s to throw on time.

Hilarious that our first td of the season was off a Bad Snap


This has literally been a problem since the first game.

Honestly this is so funny. But even in that one, what IS that snap? There's no way he snapped that and felt it was high enough. And it's not like MTSU is lining up Quinnen Williams across from him.

This team achieved much more than 99% of the fans thought they would. If losing a game brings this much ugliness into your life you have deeper issues.

Not gonna put it on one guy because many contributed, but it's really amazing how bad we were at just snapping the ball this year. I was kind of amazing that Herbstreit was excusing McLaughlin's snaps during the game yesterday. The drive killer early in the second half was not only early but it was a ground ball off to Milroe's right.

Imagine if a runningback was guaranteed to fumble twice a game and trip over his own feet at the snap 7 or 8 times. It’s honestly incredible how little McLaughlin has improved

How little? He has gotten worse. The high water mark of his career was the 2021 SECCG. He's been complete shite since then with progressively worse snap issues. He's up there in the Dom Jackson, Chris Owens, Darrian Dalcourt tier of "how the frick did that guy start?" Saban linemen.

It's honestly amazing that we made it this far with what we had to deal with. No other team could have made it that far with Seth at center, Milroe being timid at times, the o-line issues, and a host of defensive issues. Saban really got the absolute most out of this team
