re: My Drunken Thoughts on the Game

The play calling sucked at times. But the coaches had a good plan and you could see that. It was a plan that could win the game. You can't turn the ball over if you wanna beat Bama. We spotted them 16 points because Appleby just simply isn't a Florida level quarterback. I thought that was a 38-14 type game that appeared worse than it was. Don't get me wrong, they whipped our asses, but it wasn't nearly as bad, especially at halftime, as the final score indicated. Hell, we should've made it 33-23 midway through the 3rd quarter despite the turnovers, and who knows what happens from there.

I thought the gameplan was probably the best put together game plan the coaches created all season.

The usage of Powell on 1st downs to get positive 4-5 yards, putting Callaway in 1 on 1s with Minkah, the throwback screen (why the frick hasn't this play been run since Tennessee?), the usage of TEs, etc...

Its sounds kinda strange given the fact we lost by 38.

But the offensive gameplan was spot on. The execution (fricking Applebees missing WIDE OPEN WRs...) was another story.
