GAME Texas A&M @ Alabama 3:30pm ET CBS

A&M is hanging in there.
 
TD Harris - good answer.

Now lets see if the Bama D can hold.
 
aTm has a turd DB and Bama is exploiting. That would have been intercepted by most.
 
:facepalm: That's some shit offense.


:wtf:
 
Pick six.

One of the issues Saban faces year to year is he just can't keep solid assistant coaches and coordinators.
Those cats always move on to better jobs.

Reminds me of UNA's inability to keep good head coaches. They check blocks in Florence, and then then move up.
 
Okay, what the heck Bama D? Giving receivers fifteen-yard cushions.
 
Should have been caught by the receiver. He turned to run before he secured it.
 
Jeezuz....my face hurts from all the facepalming. aTm could be winning this - but they suuuuuuuuck.

Coaching... you are right, if you cannot hold onto coaches, it ultimately hurts your system. It is especially tough in the early part of the season trying to break-in a new system. This was some of Tennessee's issues last year with early season embarrassing losses. (TN is a 10-3 team without those two dumb losses to Georgia State and BYU).

Still, Alabama will be fine and will get even better as the season progresses.

I will say, though, that the Alabama mystique has taken a hit. That blowout loss to Clemson gave a lot of team confidence against Alabama and the Tide has struggled a little since that loss.
 
The thing is, Alabama's defense hasn't been dominate since Kirby Smart and Jeremy Pruitt left. Tua hide a lot of this the last 2 years. Will be interesting to see if Alabama continues its dynasty this year. They are still the favorite, IMO, but are vulnerable.

Regarding Tennessee's issues last year. If you watch the game against Georgia State, they had issues with players lining up correctly, following the plays correctly, etc. on defense. The offense struggled as well with JG's confidence and not understanding the plays. The defense figured it out and started playing well in the second half against Georgia (that was TN's turning point last year). The offense never quite figured it out but made plays thanks to Juan Jennings and Marcus Calloway. The offense this year has looked better, to date, but still has issues at times. I thought JG had a better game this week versus last week but our offense still made mistakes that caused us to get off the field and not score points. We should have had a score in the forties at least against Mizzou today.
 
Bama's D has been frustrating to watch since Smart left.
 
Well, I give up. Jimbo isn't doing a great job with this offense or this could be a good game. Shame....
 
Well, I may go for a run. Weather is too nice outside to watch this blowout.

I didn't believe the Jimbo Fisher crap on here because the guy had FSU as a perenial top 10 team and National Title contender after they had kind of been ran down to mediocrity in Bowden's last 5 years but now it seems to be prophetic. This A&M team isn't good. I am starting to like my Vols chances against them.

This may be true. But, Bama scored real quickly with Tua, etal and put the defense on the field a lot more often. And didn't Bama have some defensive injuries the last couple of years?
 
Well, A&M put up a good fight for 1.5 quarters.

Pruitt was The big loss. He was The GOAT DC. He was aggressive and I loved it. Kirby was too cautious IMO.

But Golding is Dogshit

I hated Pruitt at UGA. That 2014 game against Florida when Florida just ran the same 3 running plays over and over again and beat us, that shit cost us the East. We beat Mizzou 34-0 in Columbia, but they got to go to Atlanta while we got to go beat up on Todd Grantham and Louisville.
