Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

[Tidelines]

Agreed to a point. On UM's last full drive and their OT possession, our defense was AWOL. Completely.

Have you noticed that has been the case in most all of our losses.

IF your defense can hold a team to 13 points with 4 minutes in regulation, your offense had better put up some points on the board.

We didn't. We couldn't. Couldn't sustain drives or get into the EZ.

DEFENSE DIDN'T LOSE THIS GAME. OFFENSE DID!

IF THE DEFENSE GETS A STOP WITH A TD LEAD, 4 MIN TO GO, INSTEAD OF TOTAL COLLAPSE, BAMA WINS!

They had just as much to do with the loss than the offense. There were supposed the “strength” of the team. You know…who you lean on in the clutch. Instead, they folded.

With Dallas Turner’s tweet before the team even got out of the locker room, he must have had other things on his mind, rather than getting a GAME WINNING STOP!

Also, if your defense can hold a team to 17 points and 50 yards below their average in regulation while the offense has 6 three-and-outs (the fumble drive was actually 2 plays), and 7 punts, the defense has done their job!

So it’s ok to play great up until crunch time, then totally collapse with 4 minutes to go holding a TD lead…

It’s a 4 qtr game.

BTW, I’ve been one of the biggest supporters of our D all year. They’ve been good. It’s been fun actually having a competent defense again. They bailed out our incompetent offense over and over…but when we needed it the most, they collapsed worse than a Pete Golding defense..

I see that it is another slow transfer portal news day.

The point is the defense should have never had that responsibility IF the offense had done their job.

Sure, it was a bad series for the defense, but before that drive we had caused UM to go 3 and out multiple times. After only allowing 2 first half TDs, we shut them out in the second half until that drive; even stopping them on the short field after JM's midfield fumble. The one TD we scored in the second half was a result of the defense/Burnip slowly flipping the field so our TD drive was very short!

With all this help from the defense in the second half, the offense struggled to stay on the field to eat up clock and score points. We got the TD and 50 yard FG off the defensive control/set up from the defense. They did their job and the offense didn't.

They did their job until the final drive, and OT.

In portal news, I saw a report that Ian Jackson will be entering the portal. Wish him well.

People are clinging to this whole LANK thing. It's really not that big of a deal.

Any chance Bama pursues an EDGE with playing experience? Lost both to the draft, and none of the backups really flashed like Anderson and Turner did when they got on the field as younglings.

 

[BamaMoon]

So, for those of you looking at the TP how many centers are available and do any of them have PT experience at a power 5 school?

 

[Tidelines]

When does the second portal period open? I know it's in the spring sometime. If there isn't a good center now, maybe we will get one then. Dwight Stevenson have any grandsons.

Yeah, I am hoping for a Barrett Jones type that can literally play anywhere on the line.

The only 4*-5* IOL listings currently on 24/7 are those from Bama.

Taulia has entered the transfer portal.

Let's go get him

 

[Guido]

Tualia in the portal, I think his NFL evaluation was not what he was looking for. I just heard on the radio that he is the all-time big 10 passing leader. Is that right?

I always thought he did himself a disservice by going to Maryland. Nothing against Locksley or anything, because he's a good dude and all, and he was a good OC for us, but Maryland didn't have many offensive weapons to help Taulia out

Rumor has it he is trying to get a waiver for a fifth year of eligibility. Supposedly he will go to Miami, and has NIL/cross promotion deals with his brother that will make him one of the highest paid CFBplayers .

Why does he need a waiver? He should have the COVID year

I posted the article a while back. Something about him playing in 5 games at UA one year that would need a waiver.
