Yeah. Second place is no better than last place, huh?

With all due respect, if that is what you think I'm saying, you obviously don't know me very well.

I think BAMA is better and still a little ahead of us......also believe the gap is closing.

Heard a stat starting with the BAMA drive before the blocked FG/TD, then BAMA's 2 methodical drives sandwiched with our one 3 and out, our D was on the field 23 of 25 minutes during that span. That right there was a big shot to the solar plexus of our D.


wlayton had not seen that stat prior to reading your post. Knew we were on the field for a looooong time. Good find, those numbers speak loudly to me.

Sorry, averagedawg - I'm still just trying to get over this GUT WRENCHING loss. I took it pretty hard. Probably a lot more so than I should have, and I'm still in pain.

No need for apologies, Thriller.
I'm in the same boat. I will suffer this loss as long as I live.
Intelligent Alabama fans realize how lucky they were to win this game.
Too bad someone had to lose. Probably one of the best college football games ever.

Well there are not 7-8 eligible receivers and ball carriers on the field at one time, so really for each play there are not 6-7 other options.... The FB is one of a limited number
of eligible players on each play, and if you never use him in that role then your varied option threat is 1 less than it would be if you did use him every now and again.

Plus I am just talking about 2-3 carries a game, and it's not the FB is a more talented receiver or runner than the other options... it's more about using the position enough that
the threat of it is always affecting how the D plays. It's about surprising a D in a situation where they are keying somewhere else.



Uh, just throwing a number out there.....how about 5-6 options. Nevermind, doesn't matter, you're always right, my bad.

Ad5 and Buc appear correct to me.
