Best job by a Bama O line in YEARS.

Yep very few penalties. Even if we lost they deserve kudos

Only one stupid penalty. It was great to see, especially in an extremely hostile environment.

Really only one bad play and that was drive before the last one on that last play. Had a few times where they weren’t on the same page in the 1st half. They got a good solid A-. If they are clicking like that the rest of the year we will be in every game we play with a chance to win.

Happy with how they performed but not crowning them yet. Georgia has one of the worst pass rushes in the country.

We also rotated a lot tonight. Just doesn’t make sense on the o-line. Pick your best 5 and play them.

They were excellent in pass pro. I felt going in that Simpson would win it if given enough time, but I didn't believe the line would be able to protect him consistently. Glad I was wrong.

Still not getting enough push when run blocking, but they won't see a defensive line that good again for some time. I would like to see them grow in this part of the game as they face a couple weaker defenses.

I’d like to see us set the OL up for success by putting the QB under center so the RB is attacking the hole downhill.

I’m not a coach but if you want to be able to run the ball you set it up:

Proctor — Dewberry — Brailsford — Roberts — Carroll

I think it’s great to have other guys that can play if needed, but the unit is never going to gel with the way things are being rotated right now.

Running game wasn’t great or anything, but we had over 100 and did enough to keep them honest on D. That last drive had a first down just from the run game plus a good first down run to set up the final. 3rd down to seal the game.

I just think we should be better than 26 for 76 from the running back position (traditional run game).

Kaden Proctor had our longest run of the night.

I was shocked they didn’t have any false starts minus one play. Even under Saban the last three years we’d have multiple every game

When they ran the ball decent Formby was at right guard.

Did Roberts play at all laat night? What is up with him?

Sanders and Carroll were both in at one point in the second half.

Roberts did play some but not much. I’m not sure that Sanders didn’t play more than him.

I saw all of these OL on the field last night:
Proctor
Lloyd
Dewberry
Brailsford
Vandemark
Sanders
Roberts
Formby
Carroll

Hopefully we will look at the film and work towards putting our best five out there together for the bulk of the game. I truly hope Carroll becomes a starter. He’s got that dog in him.

Its AK Dear time. Riley needs to be a third down type back to throw it to he dances in the hole too much.

For some reason nothing makes a mediocre/subpar Bama offensive line pass block like playing Georgia.

And what is good about KD is he is rotating OL with about 8 playing a lot of snaps. NS used the NFL mentality and barely put them in. This also tells me that KD is not completely settled on his best 5, especially since 77 appears to be limited on his snaps
