| FTBL 225 for Coffee

[Guest]

What a game for Coffee! I have no clue how he got 225 though. Unfortunately for him he probably won't get many accolades for the performance due to his 2 fumbles.

That first fumble was forgivable. Hard not to cough that one up with the way the ball was hit, but he's got to secure it better in the open field. The is the stuff that drives Saban mad. He actually had a 3rd fumble too, but I'm not sure if it will be in the stats or not. The geniuses in the booth today never saw it or mentioned it.

I noticed that also Porter. They never said a word about it.

He had one in the UGA game that we were saved on with a penalty. He is playing great but has to control the ball.

Yep, he was carrying that second one kinda loosely. Kept waiting for him to switch it to the arm/side closest to the sideline, but on the replay I noticed a KY defender coming up on his right side.

I expect he will be protecting it a lot better against Ole Siss after a couple weeks of Coach Saban's learning.

He provided some scary moments ,but a big Bama win eh?

When was the third fumble, Porter? I missed it, too.

Absolutely.

Also, why not carry the ball with the arm that's closest to the sideline? On his last fumble, he had the ball in his left hand, but he was running down the right sideline. If he had been carrying it in his right hand, it would have been harder for a defender to get to the ball. And if you do fumble, it will probably go out of bounds. It won't spill out in the middle of the field, where a defender might get it, or roll out of bounds like with Tennessee at BDS in 2005.

He has a tendency to go airborne, diving over the pile or tackers and getting raked underneath. Got to stay low and drive to protect the ball.

That being said, he had a great effort today.

He will probably get a lot of ball control work these next couple of weeks, and I have no doubt the fumbles will stop...or at least they will happen a lot less frequently. That being said, I think the world of Coffee. He got us out of a lot of holes we dug ourself into.
