re: "Return to murderball" was laughed at quite a bit this year

quote:

Bama thought they had an o-line that could move anyone and one of these QBs would be able to make an offense pay if they put too many in the box to stop it.

---

And down the stretch one Proctor figured it out and Roberts was inserted we absolutely changed into a very good power rush team that was elite on short yardage when you knew we were gonna run. We were not very explosive (mainly because neither of our main, older backs are very explosive), which limited our YPA numbers.

Non-Sack Rushing
Tennessee : 39 carries, 167 yards (4.3 YPA)
LSU : 44 rushes, 300 yards (6.8)
Kentucky : 38 rushes, 156 yards (4.1)
Auburn : 42 rushes, 200 yards (4.8)
Georgia : 37 rushes, 154 yards (4.2)

I do think their Oline has improved, but I watched murderball up close and personal in the SECCG in 2012. This ain't it.

---

2012 was one of the greatest offensive lines in SEC history. Nobody in their right mind expected to get that sort of dominance (so like, half the fanbase ).

Thought this was going to be about brandon miller.

The big key, will be how it will play in the playoffs and next season. Will Milroe be happy in his new role as mobile QB, or will he revert to his insistence he is a pocket passer? Somebody has gotten in his head and convinced him that he needs to package himself as a pocket passer to catch the eye of the NFL. With next year (likely) being his last year he might be more insistent on staying in the pocket. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

That would be a weird take, considering he's already moving up in the same mold as Jalen Hurts (cannon for an arm, legs that will punish teams that fail to contain). I get the need to showcase the passing ability, but one would think he's shown enough of an arm that teams would at least be willing to acknowledge he's got the tools that cannot be "taught" - athletic ability - and then can learn more as he comes up, so maybe a 3rd or 4th round pick.

He'd have to come back and do amazing next year to really be viewed as a first round draft choice.

I don't disagree - having a QB who can run is certainly a different animal.

Designed Runs (per PFF)
Tennessee : 37 for 155 (4.2)
LSU : 37 for 207 (5.6)
Kentucky : 35 for 126 (3.6)
Auburn : 28 for 106 (3.8)
Georgia : 31 for 150 (4.8)

And the only one that stands out here is Georgia from what I can see. And that fits with what I saw Saturday. For about halfway through the first to the end of the half and the last half of the fourth, we couldn't stop you. And you had a lot of success, especially in the second quarter running up the middle with someone other than Milroe.

The Oline played well. Not trying to tell you they didn't. But even on a handoff to the RB, the defense still has to be a little slower to react to it. But they definitely were moving our interior around in the second quarter. That last drive to kill the game was mostly Milroe. With the exception of Georgia scoring on it's first drive, from what had to happen for Alabama to win the game, you couldn't have drawn it up more perfectly.

They got beat up at the line of scrimmage

You played better along the LOS than we did.

I mean, if you look at the stats, hard to say that either Oline was killing it along the LOS.

Close games you are usually gonna lose if you lose the turnover battle and you don't get points when they are available. We did both of those. Team that plays the best in the bigger moments usually wins in a close game. Bama did Saturday night.

Kirby does not coach aggressively against his old boss and it's cost him several times, including Saturday. I don't know if they felt they couldn't block you on passing downs with Mims out, but it sure looked different once he hit the bench. But he's the only tackle we have talent wise that stacks up with your ends.

They were saving that Jalen run… hadnt been a designed qb run for a while… set it up nicely.

One could throw a curveball and say some universities need to find a term for allowing sexual improprieties, including their head coach. For those of less knowledge, that means improper behavior.

So much shite talk for weeks. Tough scene.

Take your gift from Bobo and be happy because it likely won't happen again

For sure - Alabama beating Georgia is a very rare event.

I think the game against Auburn falls in the Larceny category myself

Actually for Auburn it falls in the “prison love” category.

At the end, Bama imposed their will on UGA. Game was close, but y’all owned the LOS most of it.

This is the way fan should respond, and it's funny most of the Georgia fans are like this... even with our back and forth banter. It is refreshing.

How unlike the fans of some programs.
