****Official Game Thread Bama vs. VaTech***

The DL for VT is solid. It is a LOT better than A&M's. I think the offense might have read a few too many press clippings. I'm betting we'll see a renewed focus this half.

I hope so. Need some quick passes to loose up the defense.

Looks like VT has 155 yds of offense, 121 on the 2 big plays. Course they all count, but thought it interesting.

The DL and entire defense for VT is good...Beamer even said that before the game. Now, do we have problems to be ironed out...yes. But that was to be expected....I cannot remember us being up this far with this little offense...ever.

Probably 2nd best dline we see behind lsu

 

[TideMom2Boys]

Encouraging thing is that we are ahead 18 points with little to no offense. So once we click..we will be dangerous.


I hope the halftime helps them.

Unusual first half in that it feels like we're behind and with less than 100 yds offense surprising we're not.

Spoiled by last year's O-line for sure. :BigA:

Hopefully depth will show itself in the second half.

I'm not sure these guys aren't better than LSU - tons of experience on VT's line.

You must have missed the entire Gene Stallings era

 

[silverstangboy]

possible the team had been looking forward? or is the problem that we are still too inexperienced?

 

[Clubfitter]

Hard to believe that this is Eli Gold's 25th year. Seems like yesterday that John Forney and Doug Layton teamed together.

Its an old cliche but ultimately victory is determined on the LOS. Hopefully in the second half our edge in S/C takes over and we start imposing our will on these guys.

The answer is probably 'yes'.

 

[bamaee04]

Awesome special teams play and very solid defense other than the one busted play. The o-line still has some work to do as well as the whole offense, but a good first half. Let's make some adjustments and Roll Tide Roll in the 2nd half!

Exp maybe, but still not sure I'd go that far..

Ah, some of the most frustrating memories ever

Beating Memphis 10-7
Leading Tulane 6-0 at the half in 1992
Only leading La Tech 6-0 halfway through the fourth quarter
Needing last second miracles to win the first two games in 1995

Their OL is doing better against our D than I ever expected and, vice versa, our OL is performing much worse than I thought. At this point, I'm just hoping their DL is far better than I expected...
