I don't know who will win this game, but we could not play with either of them. Their OLs make ours look like pee wee football.

Miami is committing penalty suicide....

Miami #6 targeting? I don't know what he was supposed to do. Bad call. Spearing on #11? easy call. Stupidity by 11.

 

[BamaFanInTally]

Miami playing like the UM thugs from the 80’s and 90’s.

Miami would be in the backfield so much we’d need to give them all a ball carrier’s number.

Why do refs not call holding anymore?

PI is not far behind....

But they surely like to call targeting.

They were not marginal calls either, pretty obvious, it's the Miami coming out of them

 

[denver]

poor play calling by Ole miss..that may cost them

 

[Bazza]

With 7m left to play Ole Miss gets another FG to take the lead 19-17!

Time will tell if the failed TD attempt comes back to haunt them.......

 

[Cruloc]

They keep showing that Miami hasnt been behind in the CFP and now they are down for the 1st time.....but forgetting they were down 7-3 when lacy ran for the TD

 

[AlexanderFan]

Now we just need Beck to Beck.

I will give Kiffin credit, he put together a very talented team that plays hard, even if they are all mostly portal players. I am also impressed with Charlie Weiss, Jr., too bad he left Alabama as an analyst to be OC for Ole Miss. I find it interesting that the 4 remaining teams have all built their teams through the portal.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Toney is dynamic, if they make it whoever wins the other will need to start covering him immediately.

 

[TDBama78]

Aren't the cut throat jestures a penalty?

 

[RammerJammer15]

Miami getting the ball in their playmakers hands with quick developing plays, must be nice

I think Weiss Jr would look good in crimson

 

[AlistarWills]

How many balls has OM dropped tonight?

 

[TDBama78]

Cristobal has the Charles Manson look going, he may go postal if he loses

 

[GrayTide]

It is very evident (especially in this game) that the new age of college football has passed Alabama and its coaching by.

Pete Golding could be the savior of SEC football this season.
