How snuck Brian Kelly into the game. Who?

 

[24and7]

You guys think we start Buchner the 2nd half?

No.. Saban said he believes in this team..

 

[ElephantStomp]

You guys think we start Buchner the 2nd half?

No sir. There’s no reason for a new QB. Team around him needs to play better as does he (obviously), but this isn’t all on him

 

[Bammerboy321]

It's not even a question that Milroe needs to be replaced. He replaced Cooper Bateman immediately with Coker; Barnett for Hurts; and Hurts for Tua.

The guy simply is not a QB. At least not for this offense. Put him with Gus Malzahn and he'd succeed.

 

[Justneedme81]

Was a QB middle draw call, they just didn't block it well there and Milroe ran into the edge rusher.

That's not what i'm talking about. Throughout the first half, we've been getting killed on left side. Proctor disengage his man too soon. he needs to follow through on his block, dont' stop until whistle blows.

 

[bamaledge]

There’s at least one problem when you go vanilla on the play calling in the first game against a nobody. You don’t practice the whole playbook!!!!!

 

[24and7]

Maybe we need more tight ends in the game now

I get you there. If he’s an issue, replace him.

You’re right. He’s getting killed blocking and his defense is awful

 

[bamatommy]

We better score a TD on the opening drive of the third quarter.

 

[bamaledge]

What should Saban tell the team?!

 

[24and7]

What should Saban tell the team?!

He should be nice..

 

[Davestwin]

I haven't seen bad decisions outside of that first pass but the accuracy/touch isn't there right now for Milroe and that's hurting us. Once Texas D realizes we're one dimensional we are in trouble.

I hate to say it but they already realize it. I think they came in believing it.

 

[#80]

Milroe is an athlete playing the QB position.

 

[bama alum]

Coaches obviously don’t think he’s better than Milroe

For now, yes

 

[bamaledge]

We’re only down by 7. It ain’t over yet.

 

[24and7]

Saban needs to go tight end heavy to give Milroe more time to settle in

 

[bamanc50]

What should Saban tell the team?!

He’s getting sick and tired of watching this BS and is seriously thinking about heading to the lake, sitting on the porch and watching the ducks S&&& in the front yard!!!!!!!!

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Well

We're ordinary in the DL and OL
Sark is putting on a clinic play calling tonight
Bama can't put three plays together to make 1st downs and Texas understands that
Milroe is what he is and will be going forward. He has a I3 processor where an I5 is required.
This is a throw away game anyway, but Nick better have a QB ready to play Ole Miss.
I expect Sark and staff have been working this plan since last year. We're lucky to be this close

Roll Tide

 

[bamatommy]

We’re very fortunate that we’re only down by seven pints.
