****Bama Vs. OU Postgame Thread****
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
Even with all the defensive problems, we still out gained OU and almost caught them in TOP. (I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so sorry if already covered.) This game was lost by turnovers, pure and simple. We don't turn the ball over and we win...even with their QB having a Heisman first half. We outrushed and out passed them. My Baylor brother had said to me: "You'll win easy...they can't pass the ball at all." I want to know what team BU played.
On another note...it did seem that we relied (all year) way too much on the "big play." We had a hard time sustaining drives throughout a game. Little mistakes...inconsistencies that have been noted...all in all this team just did not reach the level of past teams.

i think those three things are functions of the biggest areas of concern coming into the game. our o-line and our d backfield.
It was, but like all night AK got blown up. He got pushed a good 3 yards back right off the snap and the OU def didn't have to do much to block it. It was also behind and low.
Well the players were also talking about how they wanted to prove they were the best team. I think that attitude had crept into their mindset as well.
IMHO you don't need to change any schemes. It took our qb to play like John Elway to win. The turnovers hurt you even without them it was still a close game. If your defense had a pass rush and normal depth in the db's this type of offense wouldn't be so successful. If I was Saban I wouldn't change a thing. Reading this thread reminds me of some of ours a few years ago. Don't gripe about a 11 win season. They're not that easy to get even at programs like Alabama, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and USC.
I know a few years ago years ago it seemed our players seemed to think if they showed up they would win. I didn't see that with your players. Alabama is on a great run enjoy it. It's not over. Hopefully we can build on this and catch you guys in the championship next year. My son had to have surgery so I was unable to go to the game but heard the Bama fans were the way I remembered them from 2003. Congrats on a great program on a great run. Don't underestimate your coach and don't think you're doomed every other school's fanbase would love to be in your shoes for the next few years coming up.

It's like trying to kill flies with a heat seeker missile when a fly swatter is all you need.
yeah. its hard not to have it creep in after having a deflating end of season loss, especially after having a very good season despite not having the stellar o-line and d backfield we are accustomed to. that mindset vs. the "we have a chance to knock off the mighty bama and SEC" was in play tonight as much as the scheming.
Sadly, Saban needs to reevaluate his gameplan against the HUNH and do something different because whatever he is doing currently is not working.
Isn't this the second consecutive game against OU where the game essentially ended with our QB getting sacked and fumbling?
Some good discussion here.
Without interjecting any of my opinions of the technical aspects wanted to say sorry for your loss.
Both teams played VERY hard last night.
Trevor Knight played a whale of a game as did Derrick Henry.
Congratulations for an excellent season - chin up and roll tide.

THIS!!! I hope the staff travels to Stanford in the off season and picks their brains about this. In life, you must adapt. Life doesn't stand still; sometimes change is inevitable and I'm hoping the renewed off season approach helps us in the future.

I'd like to hear a little more evidence on how Nick Saban hasn't embraced our traditions, given that Mal Moore was his best friend on campus. Funny, we don't hear this intimation that "he ain't really one of us" until after losses.
Not suggesting he isn't one of us at all - simply noting that perhaps the historical context is something he doesn't emphasize, and I base that one recent comments by both Jay Barker and Barrett Jones. I'm not even sure I mean it as a criticism - but I am suggesting that if those things were to be included in the overall culture of the program, we wouldn't be playing lackluster games against Auburn, for example.
I couldn't remember which of the OU games it was where JPW dropped the ball to end the game.
just to add a bit of perspective. we end the regular season a couple of weird bounces away from being in the BSCCG and it is considered a "bad" season and we are sitting here discussing how the game may have passed by arguably one of the best college coaches (who is a defensive genius btw).
georgia ends the season "5 yards from playing in the BSCCG" and they have coffee table books made about it.
