Stumped a Bama fan today

Got hit with the "y'all won because our main RB got hurt" excuse today. My response? "When was the last time y'all were +2 (really +3 because of the turnover on downs on our first drive of the game) in the turnover margin and lost? Y'all had your chances".
Silence. It does beg the question though when was the last time Bama lost a game while winning the turnover margin? +2? +3?

Not what I expected, I figured you asked for change back when you ordered a burger.

BO BO had 23 yards his last 8 carries. With him in the game Hurt wouldn't have scored his last TD. Excuses.

Our defense doesn't let anyone run wild for an entire game. Ask Derrick Henry.

Plus, we lost one our best defensive lineman who was eating up their backs except for when he was being held. You had a great response though.

The real reasons are...
Jul 25, 2017, 4:29 PM
|
|
In the first game we lost: 1. Deon Cain 2. Mike Williams 3. Mackensie Alexander 4. Shaq Lawson
In the second game they lost: 1. Bo Scarbrough
Boo-hoo. They won. We won. Equals out.

That was their main plan.
It didn't work.

I thought you asked him what's 2+2 and he said, 3rd and 6.***

I was thinking about the tackle Renfrow made on the linebacker going in for the potential score. That tackle and our defense holding them to three made a huge difference in the game.

If Bama is so great where was the next RB to step up and fill the void.
The reality, we made adjustments at half and shut down their running game, and held them to 13% third down conversions, made them one dimensional, running cover 3 (we only ran 4-5 defensive plays all night) and they had no answer for it.
Said differently, simply we lined up and punched them in the mouth and beat them, man on man, b/c their Qb was no threat in the passing game, and lead to only converting 2 of 15 third downs all night.
Lastly, it's worth noting, we went 4/4 in the redzone and all were TD's. Bama and that "great" defense had held opponents to 37% all year. They had to be able to stop us too.

The next TWO RBs on their depth chart were both 4 stars. No excuses.

You could have also got him with the # of 3 and outs in a row they had with Bo.
Also, at the very least on that first TD was blatant holding on OJ Howard to spring the edge. O'Daniel was the one that OJ took out of the play, which opened up the coner.

Scarborough wasn't their main RB....

he was rotational back last season for Bama. And that's probably because he was inconsistent. He played good at times, and other times easily went down at the line of scrimmage. Other than his TD run which was aided by a hold, we kept him in check.

Bama with Bo: 17 pts in 43 minutes (also with benefit of 2 turnovers). Without Bo: 14 points in 17 minutes. Looks like he was holding them back.
