🏈 GAME THREAD Alabama vs Ole Miss - ESPN at 6:30 CT

Remember in 2013 when we held on for dear life in a 49-42 win in College Station? At the time, that was a record for the most points Bama had ever given up in a win. That is now the 4th most points Bama has ever given up in a win. Just sad
 
I don’t think this Ole Miss squad is a cellar dweller. No way they don’t blast LSU, Auburn, and maybe even State if they prepare and execute like they did for Alabama.

I honestly believe what we’re seeing across the SEC as a whole on defenses is a lack of spring/summer ball. There’s countless hours of work that are gone - lost continuity, teamwork, anticipation, and fundamentals hours. I think Alabama, Florida, LSU, Auburn, etc. defenses will get better as the season progresses. There’s glimmers of hope out there - flashes of execution. We can’t get hung up on one game where a former assistant game planned his heart out and an offense masterfully executed that plan to cause widespread panic and reactionary dismissal of coaches, players, or a season.
Settle in - it’s a long season in the midst of a pandemic. Every team on the schedule has a tough road to hoe and large question marks in several facets of their team. Trust that we have at the helm the greatest coach at the college level - he’ll improve this team.
 
Nick's excuse cannot explain the exorbitant number of missed tackles I saw last night. We make the tackles, that game would not have been close. Can't help but believe that improper tackling techniques have to fall on the coaches, the defensive coaches. I was leery when Nick decided to keep Golden on staff last year. Our great defenses ended when Smart and Pruitt left.
