Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama v. WKU...

[AUDub]

I thought that the offense looked more in sync with Simpson but it Milroe may need a more time to adjust to the new system. I was impressed with the defense much more than I expected.

full disclosure, obviously a barner.

I think if Bama ends up in situations where you’re counting on Jalen’s arm to bail you out of jams, things get really tenuous.

I like him. Great athlete, big arm, but the flaws from last year are still apparent.

Can you imagine Kane Womack and his defense a few year back in place of Golding?

defense played well. WKU is not chopped liver on offense and shutting them out is a good indicator of a quality D.

ND schedule is a joke. They should make the CFP easy

Same with Miami

 

[AlistarWills]

600 yds of offense
9 ball carriers
8 receivers
Just wow

Their next tough game is the last game on their schedule against USC. The rest of their games will probably be against unranked teams. The Aggies are in for a long season. Their coach will be fired within 3 years.

I only saw one play like that. Jalen was 7 of 9 for 200 yards. 3 touchdowns, no ints. Ran for 79 on 10 carries.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Nine SEC teams scored 50+. With one game Sunday night with LSU.

Ole Miss - 76
Auburn - 73
Arkansas - 70
Tennessee - 69
Alabama - 63
Miss St - 56
Texas - 52
Mizzou - 51
Oklahoma - 51

We played 10 minute quarters in the second half too lol.

 

[bamaga]

I think Western Kentucky had 7 total yards in the second half. Only 145 for the game.

I still don’t see him making reads and I still see a tendency to fall back on his (admittedly amazing) athleticism.

IMO, If Bama can keep on the front foot all year he’ll cruise and put up monster stats. If Bama ever finds themselves on the back foot, I don’t trust him to progress his reads like, for example, Penix.

He had two bad plays, and they were really bad. The sack and recovered fumble on the first drive and the fumbled away snap. Beyond that it was hard to grade his performance because we would have two play drives because of big plays he was primarily responsible for or the backs broke free. The 2nd TD to Williams he did a nice job of stepping up in the pocket. The TD throw to Miller he scrambled and found his safety valve. Therefore, I can’t really complain that he didn’t have a long sustained drive when we averaged 3 play TD drives.

Of those teams, only Bama ,OU ,Texas and Mizzou played FBS schools. Of those, only Bama played a group of 5 team expected to compete for their conference championship.

They had the one sustained drive to start the third qtr. second half offense was much more what I expected. Well except the one series that was 3 and out.

Like him or not, this is strong leadership.

Why would anyone here not like him though? He's a returning Bama graduate and presiding SEC championship quarterback. What's not to love? Bama man through and through.

 

[AUDub]

Only things you can really take away from today are;

Vanderbilt might be pretty good. They had the best win of the day.

Billy Napier is a dead man walking.

Yeah he’s in no way going to survive this season.

It’s just a matter of which week will he get canned.

He was. DeBoer even mentioned his read on one of Ryan's long touchdowns. You could see Jalen's eyes? How do you know what he reads? He reads fine. One sack was definitely an improvement. And it came early when 2 linemen lost their helmets on the same play and had to sit out next play. It was that next play Jalen was sacked. That was the only time. I noticed Ty got intercepted. But a penalty saved him.

 

[Ledsteplin]

We had 334 yards rushing and 266 yards passing with a shutout thrown by the D!

Amazing for first game with new coaching staff. But I think most of us knew it was coming. You could tell by the energy. The players did great.

season opening blowout is the death knell on his tenure. He already had an uphill battle coming in to this year with that nasty schedule.

He’s cooked
