I did not see the VT game. It was obviously a convincing win over a good team. If not for all the D tds it seems to me the O would have moved the ball if called to do so.

What is your evaluation of the OL? and O.

Knowing A&M's D had holes you could drive a car through vs. Rice - I think Bama will be able to score too easily for JFF and A&M's O to keep up although they are very good. Maybe better than last year.

If A&Ms D can at least challenge plays and have bodies on receivers I think we have a game. But I see big runs and some easy lobs on busted coverage for 50 yd scores.

tl;dr version of the game


Alabama came in firing on 2 out of 3 cylinders. Won by a huge margin. Offense stymied, still scored more than Florida.

Bottom line; Alabama fixes o-line, everyone else screwed.

The O-Line looked like shite.

The o-line couldn't open up a can of Chef Boyardee.

Very few guard pulls and double teaming defenders IIRC. Also, the TEs and RBs missed quite a few blocks making it more difficult to get in a rhythm. We still won by 25 against a team with a pretty good defense, but we still need improvement.

Also, very little audibles called at line, so we ran at some 8 man fronts a few times.

If you have the time and the desire, here's the game.

We ran about 2 run plays, almost no motion, no counters, hardly any traps, no playaction. We slept walked through that game and won by 25.
