Wanted to see more explosion from the offense. Was hoping DJ would get another 100 yards.

Aside from that... can't fault the score, and the defense looked superb. One big play was over 1/3 of their entire offense.

 

[HammerJammer]

On third down Barnes throws to Matt Caddell. Barnes first TD pass.

Scoring drive 11 plays for 45 yards.

Bama 38
FIU 3

do we have a QB contreversy?

 

[P. C. Pachyderm]

38-3 ... not a work of art, but not bad. Reserves got to play a lot. Defense was utterly dominant (apart from the early heave and catch).

 

[bayoutider]

Southern Cal is going down ... how sad. :biggrin:

33 - 16 in the 3rd to Oregon St

 

[Harmost]

We had a couple of TDs dropped, and the offense was a somehwat disappointing in general, but it will still a nice enough performance.

One thing I've noticed is that JPW seems to be getting more and more easily flustered in the pocket. Hope the hits he's been taking don't cause him to develop a case of happy feet.

 

[TiderB]

Hey, did we cover the spread!?

 

[Crimson Surfer]

A win is a win. Bama is now Bowl eligible.

Roll Tide!

Dang...I was actually picking them as a dark horse for the Natl Champ. game. I did have OSU and USC...looks like i need to revise my selection.

According to the site I visited we did

 

[TideNFla]

Wanted to see more explosion from the offense. One big play was over 1/3 of their entire offense.

And the scoreless first drive was almost of a third of the total yards. But hey, we won by 35. RTR.

 

[Dartigan]

Well, my internet went out at work @ some point... and we actually had some work to do the 2nd half, so I missed on that part of the Game Day Thread

I really enjoyed the part I got to participate in though.

 

[rylandtide]

Didn't see or hear the game. Score looks like a blowout, however the stats look HORRIBLE!! They actually were leading at the end of the first, we only were up by 7 at the half, and they managed a goal line stand? WOW!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

A win is a win! Thought Barnes looked pretty good considering number of snaps he's probably gotten...decent footwork, form, and refreshing zip on the ball. But not starter material. Good news: Bama won...JPW apparently isn't out of commission...McElroy didn't have to play...and USC got it's *** kicked. Bad news: the Las Vegas weenies got me for a lousy half point....Roll Tide!!!

(starter material?) You haven't seen enough to make that call

I see more highschool/college QB's in a season than most, including you have likely seen during your lifetime. I saw him play in person during his highschool career, in person at Army bit, UA workouts. Fine young man...but neither he nor Guillan are/were SEC quality. Watch...and learn!

 

[alextupelo]

Not many freshmen coming into the SEC are ready to play on that level.

Once in a blue moon.
