Game Thread: ****Bama vs. OU - 2nd Half***

[bamadws56]

No need to abandon the running game. We had time. The rest of the game will look like this because we are panicking and putting the game in a rattled QB's hands. I don't think AJ has ever been here before, its not his fault.

I will say that I hope coaching DB's is a big emphasis this offseason.

 

[wishbonesooner]

Nine minutes left. I don't trust our defense. Seriously

 

[TooFullOfBama]

Our guy is a 5th year senior and he has allowed OU to get into his head. Astonishing. Simply astonishing.

 

[HSV256]

Does AJ have the autonomy to audible out into his own plays?

 

[TiderB]

I'm by far no expert in x and os but even I could bring some solutions to our offensive issues.

 

[CrimsonForce]

Why don't we do max protect?

 

[TIDEnGA]

Wow, no flag for that obvious block in the back. Not blaming the refs, but I'd appreciate equal calls.

I haven't read all the posts, but the calls or lack of them have been horrific. Half the time the refs weren't even looking. OU defender had his helmet off for 2 sec and nothing. Norwood got his jersey pulled on aJ's first int and nothing. Need I continue. Ugh.

Definitely not his best game!

Abandoning the run when you have a freshman gaining ten per carry, and a quarterback running like a squirrel...

Yes, it is his fault. He is a 5th year senior. He is the field general.

We opened the game with two quick short passes to nullify their rush. Picked up over 40 yds. Why we're not doing it now - or giving it to Henry is baffling.

 

[2003TIDE]

Not having a shutdown corner is killing us on D. The CB's we've had the last few years have covered our pass rush deficiency.

On offense, don't get the refusal to run the ball or lack of involvement of Howard or Fowler in the passing game.

 

[CoastGhost]

How is that out of the tackle boxes?

 

[teamplayer]

AJ may be costing himself in the Sugar Bowl like Miami's QB did 20 years ago. That quick dancing and quick throws cost Toretta a bunch of cash.

 

[crimsonaudio]

3-n-out!

 

[TideMom2Boys]

Ooooo...so close!

 

[BigA]

I really feel for AJ, he is losing a lot of money tonight.

 

[bamacon]

CyJo almost had one

 

[day-day]

Before the season started the talk was Bama's offense would have to carry the team this season.

I don't understand our play calling. We were running all over them

The play calling on both sides of the ball is brilliant; we aren't executing. It seems we're also not adapting. In business they say failure to change is futile. I think it also applies to sports.
