first off, congrats to Texas on a quality win.Sark should get all the credit.

The Good- the only good thing i can say is about special teams kicking and punting were good!

The Bad- Milroes bad play fed into the whole team. Turnovers and 3 and outs killed us. And I have no idea what the defensive game plan was. 3 or 4 men rush and little to no blitzing.

The Ugly- me…. I have lost faith if this is how we play going forward

The Good: Kicking & Jase M. when he got a chance.
The Bad: killer penalties and overturned calls at critical moments. Not playing with purpose. Seemed like they were nervous again. Where's that killer instinct we were supposed to have? Inability to create opportunities beyond the couple of deep passes.
The Ugly: Interceptions, scrambling after 1st progression is closed, and inability to recover TX fumbles. I also worry that we now have mostly very good players and few to no exceptional players. I don't know that they're being coached up - regardless of talent. Inability to find open receivers and inability of receivers to get open.

and this game gets a bonus:

The Disappointing: OL & DL

Good: The defense is improved over the Golding Clown Show. The tackling is better. The pre-snap positioning is better. The pass coverage is better. None of these are where they need to be but there is at least incremental growth. I'm glad Golding's at Ole Miss, now.

Bad: The OL looks so much like it did in the Mike Shula years that I started scouring the sidelines for Bucket Step Bob.

Ugly: The Texas OL looked like our 2020 unit. Ewer could have pitched a tent in the pocket and started his campfire back there.

Good: WR corps, no true drops that I can recall/made some tough catches under extreme duress, Will Reichard

Bad: Panicked QB play, line of scrimmage play on both sides, coverage confusion, lack of pressure

Ugly: Turnovers, snap infractions, holding calls (us vs. them), Rhinestone Cowboy (Mr. McConaughey) in his Dollar Store cowboy hat.

Good: Reliable Reichard

Bad: No pressure on defense and the secondary may be worse than what I thought

Ugly: The O-Line is horrible! Just imagine what a defense the caliber of Georgia will do to us! This will be a long season if we don’t progress before SEC play starts

Good: This defense has some tenacity and so far has been laying the wood.

Bad: OLine struggles in pass block are unbelievable.

Ugly: the lack of development of players at certain positions, by individuals who shall remain nameless but are now in Massachusetts, is glaringly obvious.

We can’t get calls at home and auburn is getting crap-calls out on the west coast. I’m starting to hate this game.

Our secondary did well considering. Our OLine the same. Milroe stunk it up so bad he affected these units. I don't blame him though. I blame Saban for not getting us a real QB to run an offense. He failed. He needs to be called out for it. But, it won't happen.

I don’t think the oline was really the problem tonight. We were running the very good right up to the point it was obvious we were not a threat throwing the ball. That said, I’m not sure what I as more disappointing…. the qb play or the complete lack of a pass rush..I’m not sure we ever touched Ewers tonight.

Good: 'Bama got themselves a back-to-the-future 42-21 learning experience opportunity.

Bad: Rees as Michael J. Fox questioning the particle matter physics of two tight ends who take up space and apparently nothing else from available scientific evidence two games into the season.

Ugly: The Eyores who are selective SeeYores on everything from worm killer snaps to Milroe staring down receivers after he's had to stare down 80% of the "rolling stock" from center and pass pro that left a lot to be desired except for "Look-out!" block chorus - and all that weighing heavily on and maybe even causing the 'Bama D to be gassed up and down the sideline - and of course over the middle. Break out the "Milroe did that!! stickers...

Good - We have a great kicker

Bad - OL in the first half wasn't good enough though we were better in the 2nd often having max protect type looks. Proctor needs to get better quickly though. A few dropped passes. 3 missed TDs on good play calls.

Ugly - those 2 INTs. Seth not being able to snap the ball. Lack of pass rush
