I have no idea about this, but DeBoer did have a sheet in his hand while kneeling at the Ford injury. I thought his hand was trembling, which if true shows genuine concern. I am beginning to like DeBoer more and more for several reasons.

For the first time I am noticing people are beginning to question Byrne. He needs to understand that football rules at Alabama. When Bryant first came to Alabama he gave basketball scholarships to football players. The basketball team sucked but people were willing to sacrifice basketball for football. Bryant knew this and did later support basketball after the football program was on solid ground. You cannot compare Byrne to Mal Moore. Mal's knowledge of football was infinitely better than Byrne. Except for personal reasons he would have probably been the head coach. It was very questionable when Byrne extending DeBoer's contract. Hope they get their act together. As a side note I think Alabama is second to Kentucky in basketball games won in the SEC.

My feeling is LSU defense is not as good as Tennessee. Our offense should work against them. This gives us a shot. Playing on the road was historically Bama's strong suit. Not so much now.

A&M controlled this game until they did not make the first down when they went for it on fourth down. It was like flipping a switch. If they punt it inside the 15-yard line, they probably win.

Big difference between following Saban at LSU and Alabama. That extension was beyond stupid.

He needs to watch the film of Alabama playing Miami in the 1993 Sugar Bowl. Put people on the line of scrimmage and drop some back as needed. You cannot line up the same way all the time. Any good offensive coach will beat Alabama's defense right now. Tennessee looked like world beaters in the second half and are an underdog to South Carolina this week. Shows you what the odds makings think of Alabama.

Giving DeBoer an extension was totally stupid. Never did understand why they did that. That was a show of incompetence.

The gambling establishment sure wanted Georgia to win, since the public was loading Alabama. Wonder if the point spread adjustments balanced the action? A spread of Georgia starting at -2 1/2 and moving to +2 1/2 is huge in a game like this.

I am wondering about the emotional stability of our fans. I don't remember fans ever throwing bottles on the field before. I am upset about the officiating, but you don't throw things at the players after the game. I remember Georgia Tech fans throwing bottles at Coach Bryant, but I don't remember Alabama fans ever doing that. Has this happened in the past?

Most people got it figured out Alabama's defense in not very good. They do play hard and are physical. Hard to figure Georgia only scoring 20 points. Stockton was 18 for 22, and they ran the ball well plus converting many thirds and long. The Georgia offense may be missing something, but don't know what it is. All the bounces did go Georgia's way. Watching that game makes me think there could be four or five teams that are better than Alabama and an additional four or five that could beat them on any given day. I wonder if this can be reversed by the end of this year?

This team is more physical on both offense and defense than DeBoer's first two years. The physicality actually should continue in an upward trend. Injuries are the only thing that could derail that. Mississippi State has always been a big physical team. South Carolina whipped them physically in the recent past. Bama laid the wood to both of them this year.
