That doesn't bode well for Bama's offense this year.

Unless the 3 OL and TE are replaced (and Bama's 2nd TE was nothing special from what I saw unless he was blocking as part of a double team -- hell, I'm special when I'm blocking as part of a double team with Fluker as my partner), then I think Bama is in for a longer year on offense against above average Ds than most realize. Any injury to Cooper or Yeldon could be deadly.
I agree. Bama's offense should really stuggle this year. McCarron can't make any of the necessary throws besides the dinks and dunks and will probably regress as a senior QB notwithstanding having perhaps the best set of receivers in the conference. Alabama also usually stuggles to find capable offensive linemen and RBs so losing 3 linemen and Lacy will be too much to overcome.

Not to mention the touchdown Lacy scored that was ruled a fumble. Threw an int the next play..

Also, anybody know how many passes McCarron completed that he threw more than 3 yards downfield? 2.
You serious Clark? The second play of the game was a pass more than 3 yards down field.

I actually think Alabama was out coached by georgia in the game. But we still won the game. It was a game for the ages. Saban's one daring move that paid off was to go for two in the 3rd. Proved to be the difference in the game..

If the "game of the century" taught us anything, its that the best team doesn't always win

McCarron had a bad game. One of two bad games all year. Yeldon was a beast in their opener against Michigan and that was without Lacy. People have said the same thing about Bama every year since 2009 - they're losing too much to keep up the same production. Well they've either kept up or improved every year.
Alabama won that game about as much as Georgia gave it away. I can't wait to watch the rematch this year. Go Dawgs!

Lacy ran like he was possessed in the second half of that game. So much fun to watch. I can't imagine how frustrating that would have been for Georgia fans to see that over and over and over again. And everyone knew the big play action was coming eventually - and then it did.
Yeldon seems like kind of an after thought that game in my mind now, but looking at the stats even he had 153 YARDS rushing.

Watching that made me feel like two midgets stretched the skin from my sack too thin while a third midget used it as a trampoline.

alabama won. they deserved to win. simple.
that doesnt mean uga deserved to lose...great game by two inspired teams.
congrats to alabama for this and the national championship. i am still proud of uga, as i would hope and expect all sec fans would be of their respective teams in such a brutal conference.

Yeldon was a monster in that game too. Some of his runs were incredible. The most important offensive play of the game for us, imo, was Yeldon's 3rd and 5 run. He made that first down on pure willpower.

damn ogletree just sat on his heels that play and let himself get blocked. way to slow to read and react

Driving and decided to check the thread. Pretty much what I expected from Bama fans but I'm still holding that as my opinion on your offense. It will struggle against above average defenses this year without Fluker, Warmack, and Jones. And I feel that a loss of Cooper or Yeldon would drastically change the O. Say what you will, doesn't really matter because neither you or I know in August. I just don't expect it to be dominant this year. Also, partially because I believe your OC falls in love with the pass too much.
And unless I missed something, the first completed pass was a 3 yard slant to your slot WR that turned it up field. If I missed something it doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that there were very few intermediate and long throws attempted and McCarron didn't throw the ones he did attempt very well. Maybe that's not McCarron's arm, maybe it's because Cyrus couldn't handle Jarvis and Jordan Jenkins, but either way it could persist into the coming year.
Don't flatter yourself, I pay waaaaay more attention USCe, UF, AU, and UT than I do Bama and my post wasn't a troll attempt. I was simply surprised after rewatching the game at the things I did not initially notice.

This is quite obvious by your terrible analysis and understanding of Alabama's team.

Alabama will have the best wide receiver core in the country, a stable of talented running backs and a veteran QB who's won back-to-back national championships -- they'll be terrible.

Holy crap. What did you watch?

AND we lost Lacy - the offense will definitely regress. Remember the drop off in the run game from Coffee to Ingram and then the drop off from Ingram to Richardson and the drop off from Richardson to Lacy? The drop off from Lacy to Yeldon (and all the other backs) will be the final nail in the coffin for Bama's run game I'm afraid.

Yeldon will definitely be the offense's downfall. Cancel the season.
