As I was watching I kept thinking:

Lia -> B. Sims
PT -> Coker

Here’s a crazy stat. Bo actually had the 2nd most catches on the team behind Ridley despite having the lowest ypc. We kept trying that swing out pass to him every game despite the fact it rarely produced. I’m sure the thinking was get it to Bo in the flats and all he has to do is run over/around 1 guy and it’s a big gain. Problem was he wasn’t able to get past the 1st guy.

Jamey Mosley. Apparently not:

“Successful surgery yesterday! Thanks to everyone for all of the prayers! What a year! What a team! On to the next one. #Roadto18 ?????????”

Amazing what this team accomplished with the injuries the LB group sustained. Pruitt and Lupoi deserve a lot of credit.

I’m a stats nerd so I enjoy checking this thread every week too. I know a lot of it has to do with changes in the game, but it’s amazing how Bama’s record books have been re-written under CNS. It’s not like we had bad teams and players the 100 years before CNS.

I’m hoping D. Harris has a big year next year and moves up the list. I feel like our rushing game was at its best in ‘09 when we had real defined roles for the RBs: Ingram - lead, Trent - every third series, Upchurch - passing down. I’d like to see that this year with DH, NH, and JJ with some extra snaps/packages for a healthy JJ. Obviously we’re expecting a more dynamic passing game next year than we had in ‘09 but that doesn’t mean the ‘09 formula for the run game can’t work.

Darby and Yeldon came up short in their bids for 3 seasons of 1,000 yards. Hopefully Damien will fare better.

I can’t help but thinking:

Thompson > Hootie
Leatherwood > Jonah at LT (could’ve moved Jonah to RT where he’s great)
Najee > Bo

Young players really stepped up huge tonight. Not sure I’ve seen anything like it.

I have a hard time believing that happened because if it did I doubt we’d be letting Pruitt coach because he’s in position to do the exact same thing. I would think we would have instituted a policy where the coordinator is escorted out of the facility as soon as they accept a job elsewhere. It may seem cold but it happens in the corporate world everyday.

Go on...

Yeah most everyone seemed to be sleeping on DH but I kinda understand it too. He’s not the biggest or the fastest, he doesn’t have a signature move like a spin or hurdle. He also failed to impress his frosh year and that 1st impression can be difficult to overcome in fans’ minds.

If DH can keep up this level and we start to get Bo going and we start to mix in JJ effectively, then we could start seeing some really absurd rushing numbers down the stretch.

First of all: :nana:

He could stand to work on his short to midrange kicking game when he has to put it near the goal line. Too many touchbacks for a great punter.

I agree with this and I'm as big of a JK fan as there is. Hasn't quite mastered that skill the way NFL punters have. He's actually better at pinning teams inside the 10 when he's on Bama's side of the 50 than on the opponent's side.

How well has the Big 12 faired getting teams in the playoffs without a conference title game? That 13th game can just as easily help your cause as it can hurt it.

If the PAC 12 didn't have a CCG, they probably wouldn't have a team in the playoff.
