I wonder how much effect the fact that Oregon was scoring at will had. Their first several scores were less than 5 plays with huge explosives. It had the feel of an early season romp against an overmatched G5.

That puts the defense on the field often. It also changes a defense’s focus a bit.

The real traditional issue with Oregon has been an offense that would romp lesser teams and then get shut down by true contenders.

It’ll be a stroogle for 3 quarters, but we will prevail by 10.

Wow. Have a Merry Christmas, brother. The Savior lives.

There were people in the game threads two years ago begging for Saban to hang up the whistle so that we could get whoever was the next Saban. That was the same year that he took us, with Milroe, to the semis against Michigan.

Doesn’t that quick little passing game sort of substitute for a run game?

Perhaps. However, don't expect any of them to play. They never, ever do. The leap is too great.

It is a good chance, though, for some guys to get an early taste of what college practices are like. Hopefully, it translates into them being quality contributors sooner than otherwise.

No! The coaching staff did NOT tell the kicking team to snap the ball with 20 seconds
On the play clock.

Which is more likely? The guy who has successfully coached a number of teams into playoffs and has a phenomenal record against top teams and top coaches told his snapper and punter to snap the ball with 20 seconds on the clock, or the punter who can’t punt more than 40 yards screwed things up?

Gotta figure that after last year and this, the system is going to be reformed so as not to waste two games on teams that truly have no business being there.

Are many of the ones calling for firings, benching, calling our players/coaches the worst names possible, etc. be the “fans” who grew up with the impression that Bama is virtually unbeatable? They weren’t around to actually take a game like last night as a freakin’ treasure (of hard work) rather than just a norm.

If they only could have witnessed the Shula years when we would get 1st and goal at the three against a directional school, and could not get a touchdown. I distinctly remember those days.

I remember our guys getting super excited about their game plan against some big team, like LSU. We would play a great three quarters only to lose, yet another close one, in the fourth quarter.

They have never seen Dubose’s last year.

In a way, NIL makes things interesting again. There was a time when championships weren’t largely a foregone conclusion before the season even started. There was a time when even a team like BYU won a National Championship.

There has been some rumor going around that Ty was injured. I am sure he is banged up like all SEC players at this time of year, but let’s not kid ourselves, a lot of Ty’s issues were mental. It happens to athletes at every level. It happened to OU’s Groza award winning kicker after he missed that one kick. In fact, that one miss could send that elite kicker into a serious tail spin and wreck a promising career.

Even Lt. Governor McCaron saw that Ty was struggling mentally, and lobbied for weeks that the coaches give him some easy throws to build his confidence.

No, it is not all Ty’s fault. The Oline has struggled. The lack of a running game has put tremendous pressure on him. Receivers have dropped balls. However, coming up yards short on long throws, like at the end of the first OU game, and like on several throws last night, is mental.

Glad we won, though. I am thinking we may have gotten a little confidence and swagger back. Our offense scored 28 on an elite defense.

Is Vegas seeing something? Obviously trying to entice people to bet.
