No doubt he did. My point was he needs the other guys to do their job too. The o line blocked better, WR made plays, and we quit shooting ourselves in the foot. All that plus Stetson being Stetson turned into a magical moment.

Just like he didn't lose the SECG on his own. Swings both ways.

I can't get over how well our defense played. Just one touchdown, and that also from within the red zone.

No problem. In this. Kirby proved me wrong last night. Dawgs went to win that game and they delivered. I will no longer doubt Kirby when it comes to Bama.

I don't think anyone bashing stet in the game thread was unjustified.

Stet played an absolutely miserable game for 45 mins...he redeemed himself but people don't need to act like he had a great game.

---

He started off rough, no doubt. But man, he threw 3-4 passes that were absolutely killer....and not just in the 4th quarter. The pass to Pickens was great (yes he also made a great catch). The pass to Bowers for the TD was great, (Didn't seem like much but he had just the right touch and elevation to get over a rusher) and the pass to Mitchell was a perfect throw.

I mean, early in the game and the pass/fumble were awful, no doubt. But to insinuate or think that he played an okay game is way off base.

Our fan base wants an elite QB that puts the team on their back and wins games. I get that. But Bennett was never that guy, and never will be. He is a guy that, when the pressure was on and the chips were down did what needed to be done.

Just like the loss in the SECCG was a team effort....the win last night was also a team effort.

Bennett didn't lose the SECCG and he did not win the game last night. He did what was necessary to put the team in position to win.

You can have a Bryce Young, and if he gets shut down you can lose a game. If you have a team all playing together one player can get shut down and you still win.

Zamir and Cook played lights out. Bowers, Pickens and Mitchell played lights out.

Nakobe Dean, Devontae Wyatt and Trayvon Walker played lights out. Jordan Davis did exactly what we needed. he made the occasional play, and soaked up blocks. he played lights out. Alabama could have stoppe any one or two of those players and we would have still won.

We stopped Bryce Young and slowed Will Anderson down a bit and Alabama lost.

Anyone up for pulling the best "hot takes" from the game thread?

After that long drive on the ground, I was mystified that Monken moved away from the run game just as it was beginning to gel.

Pickens

The way that young man sacrifices his body to make catches is the stuff of legend.

I was wrong about Pickens. When he went down in the Spring, I thought he'd never suit up for us again. I was vocal about this opinion. I didn't have faith in his character to do anything but focus on the draft. He proved me very very wrong. What a fierce competitor and an elite receiver.

I said before the UAB game that we could win a national championship with stetson.

What i never said is that Stetson is our best qb. Stetson is our 1A.

I overestimated our QB room. I underestimated the confidence that the team had in stetson to be the guy through thick and thin. I underestimated stetsons ability to absorb hits with his frame and to continue to play at a high level.
