don't think we looked flat in this game though. I think the gameplan was solid and we could have easily won by another 2-3 touchdowns with less mistakes

I've heard (Brando) several times that Bama won despite a poor performance. All I hear is about how poor we played and how WV could've won the game if not for a bunch of mistakes. No one says the opposite. If not for mistakes Bama would've blown them out.

Since when is 528+yards a poor performance?

1Td given up by the D. Sure they got a lot of yards but that was due to our scheme of a bend but not break style for this game. Played it really safe to try to to prevent long plays and wv took what we gave them. Why did we play that style, first game with a lot of new faces in the secondary? The answer is the question, to protect our new guys.

This team is fricking stacked with playmakers on offense. I thought Sims played very well for his first start. He will get better. I would like to see what the other QBs can do, not just Coker. I want to see Bateman and Cornwell play. They have talent and we're higher rated than Coker, they are our future I'd rather one of those guys win it than Coker, I don't like the idea of having a new Qb three years in a row.

Sims this year, them Coker next year and then a different one the following. We need to find a Qb that can be the guy for multiple years. If we want to consistently be in the hunt for a championship. Too much talent at all the other positions to be wasted by having a new unproven Qb each year.
