Concerned. How does this happen?


Jan 2, 2018, 12:51 AM

Based on our performance tonight, it is clear to me that there is a deeper underlying issue. We didn’t go 12-1 this season by accident. We are a good team. How did we get so outclassed by a team that, quite honestly, was lucky to make the playoff and got whipped by a team that we beat?

I am going to speculate and say that our preperation for this game was far from adequate. That is on Dabo and our coaches.

our D was just as dominant as theirs. i've given my opinion of the offensive issues several times, already. in order: KB, playcalling, O-line...maybe throw some Deon Cain not being Mike Williams in there, somewhere

^^^ Exactly!

Our OL was overwhelmed. No one picked up blitzes. KB held the ball too long many times. No apparent adjustments at halftime. Several things contributed to the offensive meltdown. Got a whole offseason to correct.

I was screaming at KB to throw the ball, as was everyone else I’m sure. In his defense, the windows he was throwing into were as tight as I’ve ever seen. On the flip side, Hurts threw to wide-open receivers all night.

You get 4 weeks off and anything can happen. If this game was played right after the Miami win then it would have been a different story. The problem is Bama would have had two weeks instead of one.

it’s easy....

Saban has 5 Weeks to prepare
Bama was fired up and wanted revenge
Playcalling didn’t adjust until the last drive. If we had made adjustments earlier to their aggressive defense, we would have had a fighting chance.

Our D played fine.
Our terrible kicker made both of his FGs.
I thought KB played his normal game, and what we could have expected. Don’t think he killed us.

Fair question. To me the answer is recruiting & coaching.


Jan 2, 2018, 12:57 AM

Bama has some serious players and Saban is still a master motivator. Agree we were outcoached. Couple that with DW being largely responsible for last year's championship win, and this year's team may have outperfomed with a strong 12-2 record and likely a Top 5 performance. Next year we need more versatile QB play.

I don't think people on here give enough credit to how beat up Bama was at the end of the sesaon. People on here kept complaining that excuses were being made for Bama, but they were destroying teams up until their last few games when the injuries started to catch up to them. Also, Georgia not only lost to that same Auburn team, but got destroyed by Auburn only to play them again and dominate them.

I only say that to point out that you can't always take too much out of only one game. We lost to an average Pitt team last year, and were still the best team in the country, and we lost to a poor Syracuse team this year and were still a top 5 team.

It would help not getting the ball inside the 20 nearly every series. However, KB made some Freshman mistakes including holding on to the ball too long at time. Bama crowded the line daring us to beat them downfield and we couldn't. The sacks were drive killers and a couple PIs might should've been called as well.

The offensive coordinator that showed up for Cuse, Wake, and BC showed up and not the one who showed up against SCar and Miami.

Very evident several of you have forgotten the Bowden years. 95% of the teams out there would kill for what we have. Great year, great last 8 year’s. GO TIGERS,
