He picks out specific “narratives”. Some of them are popular/through the Press, like “Bama cannot run the ball” for example.


That's not a narrative, that's a fact. At least for last year.
I just dont see FSU's offense being able to score more than about 14 points.

It's sort of annoying to say Bama gave up 17 points on defense. It was only 10.

Bama had one bad half of one of the 3 phases of the game so far this year. That's it. Defense and special teams have been great in both games. Offense was good in game 1 and the second half of game 2. Chill out.
If we compare KR to Tua and Bryce after 2 starts as a sophomore with some mop up duty as freshmen there's no comparison. Russell may end up being a very good QB for Bama, but he's been mostly hype so far.

After 2 starts - each against one Power 5 team and 1 G5 team:

Tua - 71% completion, 6 TDs, no INTs
Bryce - 70% completion, 7 Tds, no INTs
Keelon - 64% completion, 1 TD, 2 INTs
Grubb was still calling plays, he just wasn’t in the helmet.

That’s the second half response you want in every way, right? That was pretty much a perfect second half on the road.

Love seeing the backups laying licks.
Yall ever notice when we struggle the camera guys find unkempt rednecks in the stands but when we’re kicking arse they find the hotties?
25-0 second half. Cleaned up penalties, defense and special teams kept playing well. Running game got a chance.

Not a bad way to close it out.

That was a 2 run, 2 play, TD drive. Excellent.

I have never turned around my opinion on a coach like I have Wommack.

Russell can’t even get the ball to go where he wants much of the time.

We do not have a QB on the roster worth a shite.
Russell is going to set some sort of intentional grounding record this year.
I think Keelon is overrated. He can escape a few plays but he makes too many mental errors, throws too many uncatchable balls, and tries to do too much. I know it’s his second start, but I don’t think he’s some sort of generational talent. He’s solid, but that’s it. Certainly not a #1 pick and not a 1st rounder at this point. Things can change, but we already knew Tua and Bryce were going to be special by this point.

0-7 when trailing at the half. Yikes.

That’s 3 turnovers for Russell in the half. Has 3 turnovers in 3 halves of play and zero passing TDs.

He’s not playing well at all.
