I hear what your saying, but this is where coaching is important. Don't think for a second that Saban allows his guys to think like this- he prepares for every game. It wouldn't matter if Bama was playing St. Mary's School for Blind Girls- Saban would prepare his team for those girls. I hope we do play Bama 'tight'- I hope we skull-#$# them. The prep for this game is crucial. If our secondary and OL gets it and starts understanding their assignments, we may have a real shot.
Welcome to the board. Well said. We ALL hope we skull fuck Bama next week. No one should question that. A lot of wonder if we can stay on the field, however.
You're so correct, Saban would never let his team lose to ULM ... or even Utah. He's just such a god of a coach.
would be nice we will see,but miles needs to step back coach like he use too going for it on fourth down like in the florida game fake field goal,be unpredictable eat grass whatever works.
Holy crap. He went for a fake last year against them (it didn't work), and he got crucified for it. Miles can't win.
It was 4th and 12. And you had your punter throwing a forward pass. Who the fuck does that? Actually that wasn't the worst of it. It was that fucking stupid 54 fg attempt, knowing Alleman didn't have the leg for it, we miss it, and they get a short field and score a crucial TD right before half. With the score 7-3 and a defensive struggle up until that point, you punt and pin them inside the 15 with only 1 minute left on the clock. It's called situational football. The situation didn't call for stupid.
I dont know why everyone is so up in arms over this game. I anticipate a loss 99%. If we win, we arent better, we just got lucky saturday. Plain and simple. A true fan knows the limits of their team. We are above our paygrade on this one.
