Bama Game Thread: Official Post Game Thread Bama v. Michigan...

[PA Tide Fan]

That last TD was very un-Saban like. Normally he just takes a knee. I think he really doesn't like Harbaugh so he just added the last TD as a final middle finger to him.

Great win! auburn lost, uga will lose later and make it a great start to 2020.

I think the comments sometime ago from Harbaugh about the SEC being a bunch of "cheaters" played into Saban's decision to rub a little more salt in the wound at the end.

Apparently that is exactly what goes on. I don't recall how many holding calls their OL got but it wasnt enough. But I think this is happening all across the nation. For danged sure it happens vs Bama though. Our guys get away with holding too..but Bama is likely going to get a call if they do.

You could almost call “holding” on every play and I get not calling that. What irks me are the holds that are so obvious that when they happen in the NFL a ref will throw a flag even if they don’t see it...like when a DL looks like he’s got a clear path for a sack and then suddenly falls down “GEE, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN????” Or when the jersey almost literally Gets ripped off of the defensive player. You cannot just “let those go”.

They need to go look at the stats...their defense lost this game. Of course, he didn't do much in the 2nd half...but some of that was due to their abandoning the run....

Michigan is pretty much the "Georgia of the Big 10". Overrated program with solid talent and sketchy coaches that never get blamed for the problems of the program. Let's not forget that the fighting Hawbaws were picked to win the Big 10 this year ...

And is very impressive with so little experience...

What we will miss is Tua’s throwing with accuracy over the middle

Also remember that Saban was once a happy and successful HC at.....Michigan St. I am guessing that he doesn't 'like' some schools. Just like Tuberville and his opinions of Bama

Mac's timing on those routes will continue to improve with reps.

We ran A basic draw 8 plays in a row. Hell, I can get middle schoolers in position to stop that. If they couldn’t stop it, and clearly they couldn’t, they deserved to be scored on.

I think it was a tip of the cap to Najee who ran like a stallion and showed TOTAL HEART and CLASS by playing and playing the right way even though he knew it was his last game. HE FINISHED!!!!

We put two linemen in front of Najee. Whether it was to get him a touchdown or to stick it up Harbaugh’s nose, it was not a routine formation. Saban intended to score.

It took a few years to really figure out how his game fits with the offense, but we are going to miss Najee. Unique talent!

I normally respect Coach Saban for taking a knee even when I want him not to...this time I respect him for going for and getting the score. I hate Michigan and I very much dislike Whineball.

As much crap as Captain Khaki Pants has talked over the years, he deserved it

Michigan was a lot better than Aubarn. Why does Bama lose to those clowns?

Yep...……...….he looks great

I think maybe Saban needs to send Golding and company to Wisconsin to talk to them about their tackling coaching strategies.

We've always struggled playing down there whenever Auburn has had a good team. Even with that, we would have won without two really bad plays.

I hope so...but obviously he doesn't have the arm strength of Tua. However, he does play within his limits...which is a real positive.

And he just waltzed into the end zone...RTR.

That looked like the black hole formation from the 2015 season.

 

[Roll Tide 00]

Great win everybody.Always feels great to beat Ohio State or Michigan.Proud of the team.

Was thinking earlier... it just is what it is. I can get mad about it but it not going to change it. Coach Bryant never beat Notre Dame or Texas. And I know it meant a lot to him. It just never worked out.

 

[B1GTide]

Michigan ran 80 plays to Alabama's 55 plays. They had the ball for 34:47. They significantly outplayed Alabama on 3rd down conversions, offensively and defensively.

You still beat them by 3 TDs.

Proof that it’s not always about the cliches. Sometimes you’ve just got more talent. They tackled better, won the LOS on most plays, and the things you listed. But our QB was better than theirs and our WRs are unstoppable.
