re: Official Alabama vs Ole Miss Game Thread

They were holding like hell on the edges. Don't think we've had a holding call on an opponent this year vs our D.

The runs up the gut for 5-8 yds should not be hard to defend, young or not.

Golding is dealing with an awful lot of young guys. Their QB was hard to defend and most anyone is going to have trouble defending a guy who runs under a 4.5

Despite the problems, overall there are some silver linings.

Held them to 10 in the first half, and 7 of those came after a turnover on a punt on the 30. Without that turnover, they could have been going into the half with only 3 pts.

Here's a list of their drives and yards.

#1. Fumbled after 7 yards with 3 plays.
#2. 7 plays, 30 yards, TD
#3. 13 plays 65 yards, FG
#4. 4 plays, 18 yards
#5. 3 plays, 5 yards
#6. 3 plays, 8 yards
#7. 4 plays, 3 yards(end of half).

37 plays, 129 yards, 10 pts.

2nd half.
#8. 8 plays, 32 yards
#9. 7 plays, 75 yards, TD
#10 3 plays, 0 yards, punt blocked for TD.
#11 8 plays, 38 yards
#12 9 plays, 83 yards, TD
#13 6 plays, 37 yards, INT
#14 6 plays, 70 yards, TD

47 plays, 335 yards, 21 pts.

22 plays 149 yards in the 3rd quarter(but 40 of them came at the very end of the 3rd on the last 4 plays of the quarter).

25 plays 187 yards in the 4th quarter.

I'm not great at identifying individual players who get swapped out, but I wonder how much of that came with 2nd string players. 1st half stats weren't that bad.

Not to say there aren't obvious problems, but it could be worse.
