Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama vs. Vandy...

[jcabama]

I cannot believe we did not see the shovel pass again. Were we doing something on D that took it away?

What I thought I saw was a bit better penetration in the middle with the tackles that allowed them to hold the middle point and not be swept to either side but my eye is not a coach's for sure! I, like you, was glad to not have seen it anymore though!

-10 you say. Yes, that's likely.

Ty isn't just a great QB....even though he tried to hero ball some in the 3rd and took some sacks he shouldn't have.....but what he's shown at this point is LEADERSHIP. The kid is a great leader and a great QB.

When he threw that ball off target a tad to Ryan late and he couldn't catch it....he ran over to him on the sidelines and I imagine was telling him it was on him and to shake it off. Milroe would have sat on the bench and talked to no one.

I saw that , Ty was taking his helmet off slowly, then saw Williams down on himself on the bench and ran over to him. He Got in a Ryan’s face and smacked him on the helmet a couple of times. Probably saying like you said, it was on Ty and keep grinding. Don't won’t to lose Ryan mentality and Ty recognized that. Too bad TV cut away and didn't mention it.
LEADER!

What a great young man!

Jeez, was that Justin Simpson or Ty Simpson. Broke down that presser like a coach.

Concussion issues earlier in the year.

I’m assuming still having problems.

Geno is a solid guy and a good one to have on the roster, but probably not better than Roberts.

It's deeper than that. His mom was on social media talking about he's not hurt at all.

I don’t understand this narrative to prop up Vandy in this game by the national media. One team dominated everything except the score. I saw somewhere that Vandy had 22 rushing yards in the second half. No one mentions that . Or after 57 minutes gone in the game, Vandy had less than 300 yards total offense, broke the 300 mark after it was a 2 score game, or that Bama Kicked too many field goals , otherwise Austin Mack would have played the last few drives of the 4th quarter. All I hear is Vandy didn’t play Vandy football, they turned it over and didn’t posses the ball long enough. Haven’t heard that Bama’s defense shut down Pavia all but a few plays. To me, the stats show clear domination

Dang. I hope he recovers.

Instead of saying "the previous play is under further review" the officials should just say "the previous play is being corrected."

It's not like they were looking right at it.

I thought it was obvious it hit the ground when I saw it live in real time. I did not need slow motion and frame by frame.

That's what I said last week. Put him in at WR, But throw the other way.

Or run play action

The narrative now, starting with Booger, is that they didn’t play their game.

And why do suppose a team doesn't "play their game".
Lack of want to. Nah. Mostly, a defense want let them. That's the whole idea of defense. Force the offense out of their happy place.

Projected second day. fl pick before the season, preseason All SEC selection.

Maybe that injury is still nagging him a bit. Or maybe he's just not the best anymore. Freshmen, Carroll and Sanders, have looked really good. Regardless, I hope whatever it is says a lot about depth improvement on the OL.

If you want to see just how dramatically college football has changed for the worse in the NIL and transfer portal era, look no further than Vanderbilt.

I have family who went to school there, worked there, who even represent the best of the institution: My beloved first cousin ran the ER there for years. I know for a fact that she does not want a crotch-grabbing, trash-talking, aggressively professional "student" to be what everyone thinks of when they hear the word "Vanderbilt." Yet here we are.

With about 10 underclassmen, and a bunch of grad students, transfers and upperclassmen that have little or no connection to Vanderbilt, Nashville, or the high bar represented therein, Vandy has become "Vandy," with very intentional quote marks. And the standard has been breached and usurped by an undeniably talented but inconceivably crass "face of the university."

I know national recruiting was already spoiling the regionality of college football fandom and the "special-ness" of loyalty and rivalries (raise you hand if you worried about players who don't care enough about beating UT and AU because they had no connection to the importance of the games in their DNA)... But observing "Vandy" now is a whole other level.

Never thought I would see the day where there are trash talking Vandy fans. What has the world come to?

This, we started getting better pressure in the backfield so it took away plays like that.

Tim Smith playing in the second half probably helped some.

Tim Smith now plays for the Colts. You mean James Smith, who got that targeting call last week. I get all the Smiths confused too.

Smith coming in for the second half was huge. He was fresh and was beating his guy.

Sabb had the huge interception and hurry on Pavia that really stood out. He must have heard the ramblings from the fans like Hubbard.

where did we go? Missed the playoffs by the skin of our teeth’s last year. Lost in OT to the eventual Champs the year before.
