Vanderbilt-Alabama game thread

Do we not teach LEG DRIVE. Hit the guy and keep your legs churning. That is why we hit them and they still keep going forward.

[OldDude]

Let's throw a flag 5 seconds after the play is over. BS!

It took that long for the Bama receiver to make the call.

[Nashmann]

Had him but let him go

[Versus75]

The refs saw THAT face mask.

[Nashmann]

Sad.....just sad......pitiful!!l

[OldDude]

Wow. Apparently getting too close to a Bama receiver is interference.

[roanoke]

I hate being utterly non-competitive.

But I do see effort.

Saban has covered, but he could have scored 70 and didn’t.

[commadore]

refs missed that block in the back too.

Let's see if they keep it on the ground here. I bet NO.

[Nashmann]

That was us giving up....couldn't even let them run clock....poor tackling!!

[commadore]

We quit. They are trying to run out the clock and we can't even stop a run up the middle by their effing third string.

NO TACKLING.
Georgia will put 70 on us and they won't let up.

They kept it on the ground.

It was the beat down we all expected. We never had a chance. The question now is can Clark rally the kids with an off week coming up and give a respectable effort against Ole Miss in two weeks?
The goal for the rest of the season should be to continue to make make progress with laser focus on the Missouri and South Carolina games.
Those are the most realistic winnable games left on the schedule.

No They threw a pass to get the first down two plays before the touchdown.

[DonYates]

Looks like we are staring at a 3-9 season. At least we can say our record improved.

They threw a short pass with their third string QB. It's probably the only chance he'll have to play all year and we're offended that they let him throw one short pass, which would have been harmless had it not been followed by a 40 yard run up the middle?

[Podge91]

Say what you want about this game, but one thing I noticed was that we didn't beat ourselves.

DBs played with too much cushion and play calling on O was a real head scratcher at times... But we weren't out there making stupid mistakes. Alabama is just a much better team.

[buffy]

They're a lot better. No shock. No picks for Swann. Tells me he wasn't flustered. Give him a chance to learn how to not eyeball his receiver, and he'll be great. He's gonna get a lot of pressure to go to Georgia or somewhere else this off-season.
