Bama Game Thread: OFFICIAL Game Thread - Bama vs. Mercer, 1st Half...

[Chukker Veteran]

Just now getting to tune in. Had XC meet at the Indian mounds in Oakville. Eight of my runners set PRs today.

I’ll take 21-0 for sloppy play RTR

I go there some.

I don't like the way Mercer's blocking looks against our defense. Not sure if it is illegal/dirty, but it just looks dangerous...It is both legal and dangerous...

 

[tusks_n_raider]

I like Bolden. I did think we'd try Earle or McKinstry for a little more speed on returns, but it looks like we're opting for Bolden's hands...

Yeah my guess is JoJo still needs to show some reliability and maybe not losing return yards trying to make a Barry Sanders like play.....

From what I've read about them, they like to cut block, sort of like Citadel did a few years ago. Just hope we don't get anyone hurt because of it.

Impressive tackle through the block there.

To’o To’o is everywhere, I love it. Love it even more that we got him from Tenn.

Beautiful place. I’m about 35 min south of there. My boys love it.

Our guys are handling well so far. There is a technique to handling it. The problem is, all it takes is one slip up.

Old-school cut blocks. It is dangerous. If someone gets a cleat stuck in the turf , it could end a season early

My bad then. I read your post wrong. I have seen a lot of people (not so much on this board) be overly critical of slade bolden and It irritates me. I get what you are saying

I do not think Bolden was showboating. I think he was trying to get the ball across the goal line, but that was going to happen anyway.
I would rather not give the officials a chance to get the call wrong, however. Just hold onto the ball and don't hold it out from your body where a body can knock it loose. Bolden did fumble, but only after he was across the goal line.

Hightower still haunts me

Dang it. There was the shot for which I asked...

 

[rolltide_21]

To wear the #70 you must guarantee two false starts per game. #tradition

Having Henry at Mike which allow Christian to move to out was huge. The LB play is back to where it should be.

It's when the service shows it. They delay it so had nothing to do with your internet speed unfortunately

This is the winning answer. It's adding extra compression step(s) between the broadcaster=>satellite transmission=>streaming service=>your internet provider=>your local home connection=>your computer.

 

[uafan4life]

LOL. I can see why the ref threw the flag but that wasn't a block in the back...

 

[B1GTide]

Just no consistency from the o-line in this game.

 

[uafan4life]

Students are getting loud.

Hightower still haunts me

As others have said, they're taught how to shed them. Hightower himself said it was his fault, that he didn't use the technique he'd been taught to avoid injury...

No, and we need to get the right group together before UF...

It’s easy in the season, but so far this is the best collective linebacker play I have seen us have in years. Pretty exciting!
