Defense had one bad play sandwiched between three really good plays.

The interception should be on Sports Center. It’s not often you use the receiver’s helmet to make an interception

 

[carder24]

yep

Wow, ok, that's something

 

[AlexanderFan]

Run game needs to improve but it is showing somewhat better… let’s get the execution up and get the second team in there

Sanders couldn’t even get the kick out block on the touchdown.

Tight ends aren’t physical enough to make an effective block, and the linemen are too slow to get there on time.

So we are looking bad...?

Not exactly. Maybe more lethargic. When I got it on, we let them convert a 3rd and 15 on their opening drive. But then the next play we intercepted a bobbled pass for a turnover around their 45. Ran it a few times, couldn’t convert a 3rd and short, then passed for the 1st. Got down to the goal line, Williams dropped a TD pass (was hard to see what happened because of course the broadcast was replaying the previous play when the ball was snapped- we just saw the ball bounce off the turf). Ran it in from the 2 with Jam in a power set under center. If it was a better team I’m not sure that it wouldn’t have been a loss in the backfield, but whatever.

What I had to do. Had been doing Disney. But had to be the tv provider this time.

Yes, the Disney+ espn is hot garbage that almost never works.

 

[jthomas666]

That looked like it hurt.

 

[uafan4life]

Anyone know why Geno is at center and not Parker?

Injury in practice...

 

[crimsonaudio]

Sling working great!

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Jesus, that kick returner just got separated from his soul.

 

[rolltide_21]

They said at the start they have 25 players out. So basically it is the scrubs of scrubs

Yeah we have to win by 70 with 500 yards rushing

 

[BamaNation]

FUMBLE... but they recovered on own 1yd line

 

[jthomas666]

OK, so our turnover margin is gonna improve this game

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Anyone else getting hot mike feedover from somewhere else?

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Russaw sighting!

 

[rolltide_21]

This game is like 7th graders going against Srs.

 

[rolltide_21]

There’s Riley. We’ve been missing him

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Nice run for Riley!

 

[jthomas666]

This game is like 7th graders going against Srs.

I've seen more competitive baby seal hunts.

 

[Bama Lee]

#67 was on Tim Keenan back on that strip sack

Didn't notice it, but does sound like other announcers picking up here and there
