BOOM... No player is greater than the team... Not throwing shade on them but they weren't committed to Bama. They were committed to Coach Saban and there's a BIG difference...

Some of that could be Georgia being in 4th down mode the entire 2nd half

Agreed. Their desperation made them harder to stop... only needing to average 2.5 yard per play to keep the chains moving ain't nothing. That being said how in the hell did we give up SO MANY 4th down attempts. God damn

Bond was meh. Downs was the real gut punch.

How’s Niblack doing at Texas ?
And Brooks starts at louisville.
Roydell at FSU ?
Sayin also at Ohio State?
Amos starts at Ole Miss.
Story starts at UK.

a lot of stars bounced when Saban left, we would be unstoppable if they had all stayed.

That you are showing me a trick play against Miss St is not the flex you think it is.


Much more impressive than the Milroe show.

A 10 point win is not a pounding. But I bet your head has gotten pounded in the past, otherwise you wouldn’t post stupid shite like this

LOL Miss State ran all over your D line. Guess what Georgia and Kentucky and A$M will do.

My prediction, Horns will be watching Bama play for the Natty on their sofas.

And Jackson, and Williams, and a ton of young talent which give us a bright spot for the future. Every time you turned around they were talking about another freshman.

One of the most common and well known types of trick plays really.

It's basically just a reverse of sorts, only the QB kept the ball instead of pitching to the first back.

If you want to show off a player, especially a receiver, you can surely find much better.
The point is this: misdirection is used so often by so many teams, is it really a true "trick play?" Of course running misdirection and having the type of players who can make it work are two different things

You mean he is fast? That's the only skill required here.

I'm just saying if you want to highlight a receiver, a trick play against a bad team is not the play to do it. Surely you can do better.

He hasn’t played many snaps.. Idk if Sark is hiding him or if there’s another issue. I do know Helm has been great as the starter, but we play a lot of 2 TE sets..

I'm not the one who posted that clip, but there are plenty out there of Bond catching passes and smoking everyone on the way to the endzone.

The person posted the clip to highlight Bond, and like I said - posting a trick play against a team like Miss St is not the flex he thinks it is.

Surely there are better.

Helm and Davis are simply better than Niblack. I think getting the blocking schemes down is his biggest issue.

niblack has always been all potential. it's easy to see it. but he's a complete headcase and plays soft despite talking a big game and complaining a lot. not comparable to the likes of bond and downs who are actual good players.

Probably worse off. This team seems to have great buy in and leadership. Every player on the roster had the chance to leave and chose to be here. I'd rather see those that weren't sold on the coaching change move on.

Phuck Downs and Bond.

They're quitters in my book and do not want quitters a part of the UA program.

An end around is not a trick play.
