🏈 GAME THREAD Alabama vs Tennessee ~ 3:30ET on CBS TV

Couldn’t tell ya… but it’s killing us every game. You’d think they'd figure it out.

Why have they had so many penalties this season?

Mental focus and discipline. Been this way all year.

 

[bamatommy]

This drive is HUGE. We desperately need a TOUCHDOWN!

Absolutely!

 

[alabama mike]

Plenty of time to throw but our WR’s cannot separate.
Thank goodness for the defensive holding calls.

We're up against it boys.... time to show your mettle !!!!

 

[bamatommy]

Tennessee got called for a penalty, finally.

Tennessee got called for a penalty, finally.

And if we stopped committing them.... we wouldn't get called either. It's not tit for tat, mate.

 

[alabama mike]

Looks like that pass is coming back. Gary is like a kid in a candy store.

 

[silvermetalflake]

Oh drats. Incomplete!

 

[bamatommy]

And if we stopped committing them.... we wouldn't get called either. It's not tit for tat, mate.

Yes I know. I wasn’t saying it is.

 

[silvermetalflake]

21-7 is not bad... it ain't good... but it's totally handable. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

 

[alabama mike]

Latu!

 

[bamatommy]

It’s not good when your best receiver is your running back.

 

[alabama mike]

1st and GOAL!

One has to ask why we're taking SO many more penalties than everyone else. I dunno if Nick pissed in the refs gatorades before every game or what but we've had it rough. I know there's always a little discrepancy but the numbers are staggeringly in the favor of anyone playing us. Mental mistakes? I'm sure, but 2 teams are on the field creating mistakes here's the season numbers:

Bama: 56 for 483 yards
Bama Opponents: 40 for 301 yards

That's essentially 2 games worth of disparity in calls so far in the early part of the season. Pretty sure we pissed off some officials somewhere they aren't letting us get away with anything.

 

[bamaledge]

Say it Mikee!!!!

 

[alabama mike]

I like the shorter passes being called on this drive.

 

[alabama mike]

Say it Mikee!!!!

Brother, we have to get there.

 

[bamatommy]

A touchdown here would be HUGE, but the Tide defense has to start limiting the Vols. We don’t need a track meet.
