****Bama vs. TAMU Postgame Thread...****

Forget the results - just watch the game again and focus on their play. They knew where they were supposed to be, who they were supposed to "take", and in what direction they were supposed to be leveraging. I saw a near perfect technical performance by your o-line. The results might not have been the same against a better defense, but the execution and technique were as good as you will ever see in a football game. Light years better than you were in those areas against VT.

Lou Holtz spelled this out in detail on College Football Final

Watching the game again, the defense didn't really fall apart until the fourth quarter. I think they were gassed.

And down a few men.

SIAP..Here's a yahoo article about the targeting penalty called against HAHA that almost got him ejected from the game..

Thanks for this.
I was wondering why the A&M player wasn't penalized for targeting Clinton-Dix. Walker got in Clinton-Dix's way and hit Clinton-Dix with his helmet.

Just so glad we don't have a high profile game after an emotional win like this. This game last year obviously was the next game and bit us bad. Next week we get the Rams and then on to another big game in Ole Miss. Should give us time to gel and get that much better both physically and mentally.

Good point. Imagine if Ole Miss or even worse, LSU, was the next game instead of Colorado State.

I seem to remember Coach Stallings saying to win a National Championship a team needed 3 kinds of luck: scheduling luck, injury luck, and game luck (like where the ball bounces). This season looks like a good opportunity for the schedule luck to fall into place.

I have not read this entire thread or saw a thread about what I am going to ask. I noticed Kellen Williams in at RG late in the game instead of Steen. Does anyone know if Steen got hurt or the reason Williams was in?

No official word, but that is the assumption.

I read somewhere that the trainers took his helmet away from him indicating a concussion.

during the broadcast it was mentioned that the trainers took away steen's helmet and wouldn't let him back in. aj mentioned how well kellen played on the last drive.

FYI

Tonight at 7:30pm CT on CBS Sports Network they are airing the SEC Express version of the game. I rather enjoyed these last year, a nice way to see the whole game in half the time.

I posted a thread about a pee wee football player in my hometown and this great TD run he had. Well, he made ESPN Top 10 and is now competing against Johnny Manziel for top play of the week. Please consider voting for John David over Johnny Hancock!!

Whew what a game that was. Game of the Century in its own right. This Alabama team can really trade blows.
