Bama Game Thread: OFFICIAL Postgame thread - Bama @ TAMU...
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
Yep, usually when an offensive lineman holds the guy by the jersey and pulls him to the ground, it's called holding. That one was plain as day, but we're talking about SEC refs here. They won't call anything that will get them booed by the home team.
Alabama will be back. If not this year than next. I try not to get too upset when my team wins a National title every other year. Jesus Christ the play calling was bad though.
This! Thats 4 more points we left and it could've propelled us yo a win if they start pressing
On the defense and on Golding; I can't keep ignoring the discrepancies in opposition scoring vs. us and their other opponents.
A&M hasn't looked this good all year. Now some of that is losing the starting QB in the first game. Some of it is the obvious fact they skipped prep on their first 5 opponents to prep for Alabama. But the evidence is against us everywhere else. And this has been happening for years. Honestly, it's not just Golding. It seems to have started when we really went "modern" on offense. It seems we left the defense behind.

Young was also hampered by drops though. I'm not putting this on him because he didn't do the play calling and because of the drops. He could have played better though but I guess that could be said of just about anyone in the game. You had breakdowns everywhere.
Ultimately though I think the coordinators need to own this one. The inability to get stops when necessary on defense and the inability to punch it in on offense relies heavily on what plays are called.
I'm not defending the play calling on either side of the ball. But this sometimes good sometimes bad defense is a... well this waiting to happen. Golding doesn't have a generational best offense in the nation to fall back on, he has to be great and four years in he's only stepped up occasionally. His defense finishes the game and Alabama wins. It's just past due for Golding's defenses to be great, he's had four years and tons of talent. Just be great... that's the standard. Not good sometimes.
The great news. This game did nothing to prevent us from winning it all. There is no margin of error any longer, but if we win the rest, we win it all
we can pick apart what beat us. But I’m going to sleep tonight assuming Saban got what he needed to get this team to gel. If they don’t. They don’t.
but I’d rather lose now than in the playoffs.
we missed Jace and Drew tonight.
but this season is far from over.

There's plenty of errors in the mix here, and also a banner performance from Calzana that was reminiscent of Garcia's game against us.
1) We couldn't get pressure on Calzana, but TAMU was in our backfield for most of the night - mismatches on both lines were glaring - we saw flashes of the issues there in previous games, but the gashes up the middle and the easy answer by TAMU to just blitz every play really exposed just how bad the problems are there.
2) Our receivers were hot and cold a good part of the night.
3) Bad playcalling on both sides of the ball.
4) The pass play inside the 5 really helped get us behind.
5) Busted special teams play also really didn't help.
6) Losing Moore at the start of the game hurt.
Yeah, I think his time should be over with........ but lots of things need to be fixed
Monday practice should be interesting........ now that the team has come back down to Earth, hopefully Saban has their attention....... the next two teams are going to fight hard
While we're talking about poor coaching performances, the former NFL head coach, Oline coach doesn't seem to be getting the job done imo.
That's not good
Both of our lines are way overrated. Neither have performed exceedingly well game in and game out.
