Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread, Bama vs. USCe...

[Cruiser]

it will depend on what else happens today. if teams ahead of us lose and teams behind us lose, you cannot drop.

How other people play may effect our current ranking; but not what kind of team we currently are.
We are struggling with .500, or worse; teams

It's a win. Let's focus on Tennessee now.

You are looking forward to that game?

 

[Bamabuzzard]

The defense just looks completely out of sorts.

I wish it was that simple. The problem is that players are not in position to square up and make clean tackles. They have to try for a lot of off angle arm tackles. These are SEC players. They are hard to arm tackle. The defensive scheme has to put them squarely in the right holes. It hasnt.

Our defense rarely delivers any blows. We're the ones going backwards after contact.

I would bet money that the team danced in the locker room after surviving against a bottom dwelling USCe team. That seems to be the culture under a player's coach.. Of course, to be fair, I saw some laughter and jubilation after they survived last season against Arkansas in a game very similar to this one

Any word on Domani Jackson? Woemack is clearly not the answer. He makes Pete Godling look good.

I believe it was him that made the interception on the final play.

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

Just made the worse QB in the SEC look pretty competent for most of the day, it’s only gonna get tougher from here on out

Thorne was out there? Didn't see him...

Alabama only won because SC made so many mistakes. But you have to take it an move on.

But they have nothing to celebrate. They almost lost to a bad football team at home. This is only marginally better than the Vandy loss.

Team needs to find their confidence again in a hurry.

Sorry, but you guys still don't see it. It's not happening. This team can't be fixed to play at a consistently high level. It's just not there. It's not the end of the world and it's not a big deal. That's just a Saban thing. No other coach can do what he did. What goes up invariably comes back down.

The only way I think it gets somewhat better is DeBoer continuing to coach his way and build this team up his way and maybe somehow gets better play out of it. Don't be surprised if this team steps up in big games and then continues to play down to the lesser teams. I think that's his MO.

We can win championships this way but it's a scary roller coaster ride.

These polls don't even matter anyway.

Not nit picking, but what is it that you think that others are not seeing? The bad defensive schemes? The undisciplined play? The poor situational awareness? The inadequate coaching? Did i miss something?

I see way too many yards gained after first, second and sometimes third contact...

 

[Cruloc]

I don't ever want to see or hear Wommack talk about defense in the SEC. He needs to be back in the Sun Belt

You missed nothing. I’m questioning the people who work in that complex and watch film every week

SEC shorts will get us again.

 

[bamacpa]

20 carries for our 2 running backs, 18 for Milroe. It's gonna stink watching them tear it up for their new teams next year.

 

[CrimsonCleanse]

I was around when Perkins took over after The Bear. Now, things were different, sure. Perkins inherited a team that had gone 8-4 in Bryant's last season in 1982. He had that same record in 1983. At least then, there wasn't this false narrative about us like there is now. I can't imagine the media in the early 80's acting like we were still The Bear's Bama. Yet, they act like we're still Saban's program when we clearly are not

Why would they leave if milroe is going to be gone next year. That doesn’t make any sense.

Square not holding back frustration in post game, he and Tyler know

Square?

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Watching Oklahoma’s defense tackle guys without needing four more to get the ball carrier to the ground is leaving me envious.
