Gonna beat this dead horse some more.

It’s apparent all over the field when you watch how Indiana moves people, their backs fall forward.

We get NO push on the OL. Our WR cannot block anyone, NOBODY gets off a block.

This is physically the weakest Bama team I’ve ever seen.

We need some beef out of the portal and a new S&C coach. Bad

They practice way less than everyone else, and are way fresher as a result.

They’re soft. I haven’t seen a Bama team this soft since Shula.

Yep, I’ve been saying it for two years. We need to make a change there.

I don’t buy that. The entire game they have won the battle in the trenches. Virtually every time their RB carries the ball they go forward, no matter who hits them.

We cannot get off a block in the run game. Cannot do it, and we go backwards.

Practice is not the same as strength and conditioning training.

We also get pushed around by basically everyone. Even at the end under Saban, the team was noticeably weaker under Ballou.

Case in point on that TD.

RB just runs through an arm tackle because the guard sticks on his block.

I've been saying this since 2022.

Bryce Young leaves UA with a natty if we replaced Cochran with Tommy Moffitt.

Indiana football soared AFTER Ballou left. Bama football has bled out since he arrived to Bama.

It’s not an SC issue lol. The line scheme is just poor with run fits.

If it was an SC issue our pass blocking wouldn’t be as good

If we ever pushed anyone forward I’d agree with you
