Ya but give Oklahoma credit.


The Oklahoma QB went off, but Alabama self destructed, just like Saban did against Auburn, with the five T/Os.

T/Os can be the great equalizer and they were in this game.

It's a shame the Saban blunders at Auburn and his not having his team ready to play last night turned a great season into such a disappointment for you.

Oklahoma played lights out and they showed up for a battle. Kudos to them and they deserved the win last night without question from that effort. Bama figured being Bama would be enough, and unfortunately this is an identity of this seasons team. The extra effort is missing and I sure hope they find it again this off-season. Simple things like finishes blocks until the whistle ends is the extra effort stuff I'm talking about. Great talent will win games but great effort wins Championships.

Don't even get me started on 3rd and long defense.....lol

Tonight was nice because it opened up LSU fans to the realtiy that was 2003. You were great in your high school offense conference and your defense looked great...against high school quarterbacks. But going against Heisman Leinart and future Heisman Bush and Mike Williams and run AND PASS...OMG!


OU in 2003 couldn't pass? LOL

Funny you mention busts, and then name drop Leinart and Williams

That guy is an east Tennessee vol troll ... "make no mistake about it," he's an east Tennessee vol fan trolling Bama fans.

All Bama fans can tell you when the last time they lost two games in a year was ... it wasn't that long ago.

No Bama fan would close their video like that troll closed his video.

My observations:

1. I have noticed that Yeldon runs too upright. Saw in the fumble vs Auburn at the goal line and I mentioned to my wife last night just before Yeldon fumbled near the goal line vs OU last night.

2. Bama's biggest problem on defense is the lack of a pass rush. Trevor Knight was damn near perfect last night and his OL giving him lots of time to survey the field sure didn't hurt.

3. Even a top recruiting team like Bama can find themselves playing Freshmen in the secondary due to attrition. Call it a moral victory but it does make me wonder how even the best teams would have fared with the same level of injuries Georgia had this season.

4. TO's kill. The team that makes the fewest mistakes usually wins and disaster can happen to even the best coached teams.

5. Derrick Henry is a stud. If Bama had played him the entire game instead of Yeldon, they probably win the game. Wish we could have gotten him; we sure could have used him this season with the injuries to Gurley and Marshall.

Good observations. I have said it already, but why an OC wouldn't stick with running and dropping passes to Henry until OU stopped him is beyond me.

Even with the TO's and and no pass rush. Had Bama stuck with henry and Cooper they would have took the ball out of OU's hands and won that game.
