ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!

LB? Maybe for a MAC team.

He's like 6'2", 220.

He's essentially the same size/build as Jalen. Maybe a sweaty jersey heavier.

They may be stretching his height a little bit....he sure doesn't look 6'2" around the other players.....maybe wearing Gene Simmons cleats. :devil:

Bama vs. Georgia in the trenches:

Success Rate
Success rates examine your efficiency and consistency in staying on schedule and putting yourself in position to move the chains.

quote:
Opportunity Rate
This is the percentage of carries in which the offensive line "does its job" and produces at least five yards of rushing for the runner. (Generally speaking, the first five yards are considered the line's responsibility, the next five are split evenly between the runner and the line, and anything over 10 yards is all on the runner.) See Highlight Yards and Adj. Line Yards for more information.

quote:
Adj. Line Yards
Statistic that attempts to, even to a small extent, separate the ability of a running back from the ability of the offensive line. Adjusted Line Yards begin as a measure of average rushing yards per play by running backs only, adjusted in the following way:

0-4 yards: 100% strength
5-10 yards: 50% strength
11+ yards: not included
runs for a loss: 120% strength

Each play is also adjusted based on game situation as well as quality of opponents faced. Adjusted Line Yards can be listed as total or broken down by direction to attempt to isolate ability of specific linemen.


So, with all that said, here is what those numbers look like for what would generally be considered our 5 best defensive opponents : FSU, LSU, Mississippi State, Auburn, Clemson and now Georgia. And, on the flip side, our 5 best offensive opponents : Ole Miss, LSU, Mississippi State, Auburn, Clemson.

There should also be one caveat here, which is that LSU overloaded the box with an extra man and dared us to throw the ball. So, while we didn't block particularly well that game, there was also a very clear (and acknowledge by LSU) numbers advantage that contributed to a performance that sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the others.

[bamaledge]

Nice! ROLL TIDE!

 

[bamaledge]

The talking heads on ESPN so want Ga. to win. The can kiss it!!!

 

[bamaledge]

I bet at least one “dawg” will be thrown out tonight.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Can Bama defense get off the field on 3rd down and often? If so then that might give Bama enough offensive series to do some bidness.

 

[TerryP]

I bet at least one “dawg” will throw a fit tonight.

I'm hoping we see one that reflects the little edit of mine. Specifically, one Tony Barnhart.

This game will be OVER after the 1st 2-3 series.

For everyone worried about Chubb/Michel, this will be akin to Fournette/Guice, part tré.

I'm thinking 30-10, good guys.

The student isn't ready to best the master yet.

I received a text from a long time friend, who also happens to be a Georgia fan, asking this ...

How will Bama handle Thunder and Lightening? I still haven't wiped the tears away and my gut still hurts.

Ha Ha. "Just like every other cute little nicknamed backfield we've destroyed."

As we're all waiting ...

Meanwhile, in Knoxville ...
