The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly… Hoosier style:

[Bama Lee]

The Good- not much for Bama. Ryan Williams played better. Punter had some nice kicks. Defense got a few sacks.

The Bad- just our lack of effort at times. We looked tired

The Ugly- the score! My hat is off to Indiana. They are a very good team

 

[CoolBreeze]

This one should be a doozie.

 

[WMack4Bama]

Good: QB Reese making a good run fit and meeting a RB in the hole in garbage time. Haven't seen that here in 3 or 4 years.

Bad: The fact that I've seen 5-6 year old youth teams with more a sophisticated and less predictable run game than us.

Ugly: How much this roster is about to turn over

 

[CrimsonJazz]

The good: if you’re gonna lose, lose big and hope it leads to off-season changes. That’s the only potential good I see here.

The bad: effort, fundamentals, all the little things that separates winners from losers.

The ugly: my language as I watched this modern-day tragedy.

 

[RdunawayTX]

Good: Talty? That's about it.
Bad: Every phase of this game.
Ugly: The upcoming transfer portal. Grubb currently has a job.

 

[Tide-one-on]

Good- We won the coin toss
Bad- We looked bad from the first quarter on
Ugly- OL, QB play, no running game, bad 4th down call, and a defense that quit in the second half

 

[LeBron47]

Good : We had a decent season bookended by horrible losses
Bad: Coaching decisions and gameplan
Ugly : Giving up 38 pts while scoring three… 14 points were gifted

 

[gtgilbert]

Good: getting beat this badly should cause a lot of questions to get asked about coaching, development, talent evaluation and approach,

Bad: Our O strategy was non-existent. Just a random assortment of plays. Our OL is simply awful, especially the guys who are supposedly the anchors.

Ugly: They made us quit.

 

[December05]

Good: Trying, with some success, to be more physical along the defensive LOS. I want to see a more disruptive, pass-rushing front seven next year because of it.

Bad: Definitively losing the argument over whether the SEC was overrated or the B1G was underrated based on preseason rankings as the season progressed. People can shuffle their shoes and make excuses if they want, but trying to explain away or downplay the last week of results is pitiful.

Ugly: I was 15 years old in Sept ‘98 and had to go to my dad’s co-worker’s house to watch us most recently lose this badly (42-6 to Arkansas). It was so long ago that ESPN2 wasn’t a part of our basic cable package. This is an embarrassment that underscores the ceiling of our current staff. They won’t be bad enough to be chased out of town, but they got schooled by the man who is possibly even more heir apparent to Saban than Kirby. Some heads, particularly on the offensive side of the staff, must roll. Who, when and what will come next are the only questions.

 

[Cruloc]

Good - Season is over, wholesale changes need to be implemented. I'm afraid with DeBoer's personality, that won't really matter though, because his personality and coaching style has to evolve. Is that even possible for him.

Bad - Worst loss I remember....we never got off the plane. Going for it early on your own side of the field was dumb....not going for it down 24-0 and conceding was telling.

Ugly - We have a pattern. I don't care what anyone says, we have a pattern under this coach where we completely implode. We look like hot garbage...unprepared and completely not wanting to be there. Is this toxicity from NIL players or from a lack of respect for our "players coach" or something else.

 

[81usaf92]

Good: Ryan Williams and Indiana

Bad: Offensive playcalling and being big boyed

Ugly: having to hear the negativity until next year. But it’s just part of being a fan base that cares about the sport (still a good problem)

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Good: Nothing
Bad: B1G got to be right
Ugly: the multiple new posts with teaser titles this game will produce. Not one will have anything to add to a conversation. It will just be look at me people that don't want their complaint lost in the post game thread.

 

[BamaFossil]

Good: Indiana. Making the playoffs and winning the first round. Ryan Williams. Y. Pierre. Recruits and portal guys see an opportunity to maybe start next season at Alabama. Beat TN & Auburn. And UGA during the regular season. Lots of good out there.

Bad: OL & DL.

Ugly: Over-the-top denigration of the team & coaches by erstwhile fans.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

Good: Williams made a catch and took the contact

Bad: A 31-point loss is worse than bad but…

Ugly: The coaching staff did NOTHING to put these guys in position to win. Going for it on 4th and 1 with a lazy, uninspired play told me all I needed to know about the preparation

 

[denver]

Good: Season is over
Bad: Coaching staff - from the HC on down. Poor game awareness on the 4th down, poor playcalling all day, poor tackling and physicality on the defensive side. Our overall preparation pre snap on both sides
Ugly: a 35pt loss, the OL.

 

[Tide Rev]

Good: Indiana
Bad: Everything about us today as a team
Ugly: Auburn (as always)

 

[uafan4life]

Good: Indiana. Ryan Williams showing up and showing improvement in key areas - having his best overall game of the year. Defensive start to the game.

Bad: Offensive gameplan and playcalling. Offensive line play. Defense falling apart after being let down by a lack of offensive production.

Ugly: Losing in an embarrasing fashion.

Uglier: They made our ass quit.

Ugliest: Yet another game under Coach DeBoer - regardless of the reason(s) - where Alabama is the team that shows up looking poorly coached, unprepared, and undisciplined in too many areas...

 

[Isaiah 63:1]

Good: Rose Bowl is still my favorite venue despite the cluster that is trying to get to your seats before kickoff.

Bad: that we did nothing good enough to qualify as merely bad.

Ugly: Ryan Grubb. If CKD doesn’t either can him promptly, or get massive improvement from him next year, we’ll be looking for a new HC for 2027…

 

[CajunCrimson]

Good - the season is over

Bad - we never look prepared

Ugly - 22 guys all looked lost like a deer on a road at dusk in a dense fog.

 

[merino]

Good: kudos to Ryan W, Ty's tenacity, and this huge loss typically results in big changes to come
Bad : the dreadful announcers. And why did Keon Keeley get so little playing time
Ugly: our OL and DL coaches resolve to favor tonnage over quickness. It was comical to watch them chase Mendoza
