🏈 3rd quarter TKO.

[Argo]

Looking at the splits over the 8 games this season, I noticed a trend. Bama has set the tone for the game in the 3rd quarter. Really, the second half has been incredible, but most of the points and yards piled on in the 4th are by 2nd and 3rd string players running between the tackles.

BUT, those young guys have had success in the 4th because the opposition was pounded into submission during the 3rd quarter. Just breaking down the points and total yards in the 3rd quarter shows a dominating Crimson Tide.

Alabama 3rd quarter

Yards -- 1133
Average -- 141.6 yards per 3rd quarter
Points -- 107 (15td/1fg)
Average -- 13.3 points per 3rd quarter

Opposition 3rd quarter

Yards -- 338
Average -- 42.2 yards per
Points -- 14
Average -- 1.7 points per



When you consider that Kent State scored 7 points because of an interception returned inside the 5, it's that much more impressive. Bama's defense has only allowed 1 sustained TD drive in the 3rd quarter this season through 8 games. If there is a knockout round for Alabama, it's the 3rd quarter.

Check out LSUs, also impressive...

but it probably helps your 3Q stats if you go into halftime tied with Tennessee

Yeah, that one game was the difference. Excellent retort.

That is impressive. Wonder what corning fans will say after we do an impressive third quarter against them?

Everybody always has a "yeah, but . . .", don't they, Argo?

I did check out LSUs not impressive. Florida and West Virgina outscored LSU in the 3rd and Miss St. tied LSU in 3rd. So before you pull stuff out of your uhmmm.. hat look it up yourself. blind statements are unimpressive.

At least we woke up and thoroughly dominated them in the second half. What's your excuse for State...a team that needed overtime to beat the football powerhouse that is Louisiana Tech? You only make your own team look bad by continuously bringing up one poor half played by Alabama.
