🏈 GAME THREAD: Bama vs Va. Tech

{BYU just pulled ahead of OK 14-13.}

as I predicted, the Tech defense is tiring. They have no second string. We run over them in the second half...score on opening drive and don't look back.

220 yards to 70.

Tech has -3 rushing yards.

One thing no one can forecast, is a player losing composure.

Getting beaten on a passing route when Taylor got free...that was expected.

Never seen McClain lose his cool before so I forgive him.

However, Marq Johnsons play the last few years aggravates me.

McElroy had some jitters, but theyll prolly be down the second half.

And our Oline is pretty decent in pass protection. Not perfect, but better than last year.

think VTs depth of their D will be exposed in the second half, but win or lose it looks to be a good oen

Agreed. The players on VT's defense are gassed. We're gonna run all over them in the 4th Quarter.

No excuse for McClain's BS. I'm guessing he'll get a little pep talk at halftime.

With Bradford out, OK looks like they are in a lot of trouble. Glad I had BYU +21.5 (I think thats what it was)

The only way Marquis Johnson should ever step foot on the field again is to retrieve the kicking tee. Can we see some Dre K. please?

I'm gonna say this one more time and I will try my best to not say it again...during this game.

If The Alabama Football Team doesn't run the ball they will lose.

If they pick up where they left off on that note, it will be no problem. Upchurch is headhunting with the ball.

I would think Saban's doing a major attitude adjustment right about now. Last person I would have expected that from. I'm sure there was provocation, but he should have put it into the game and not gone after the guy.

I couldn't agree more. :smile:

I really hope Upchurch lit a fire under our run game. If so, we should wear them down considerably in the 3rd qtr and hopefully put some points on the board.

Is McElroy gunshy, or is the VT defense that freaking good? AHHHHH!!!!. Good punt PJ.

 

[planomateo]

BYU won....realize that Sam wasn't playing. wow.

damn mountain west

5% the former, 95% the latter. He's actually done very well in dealing with the rush for a QB in his first starting game. But yes, I imagine those DEs blowing by both of our OTs is getting tiring for him.

Further proof only 6 conferences deserve a shot at the MNC....amirite??

 

[The_King]

Hightower and Deadrick are both beasts. One get shot and the other just gets his helmet ripped off and still makes the tackle......I love this defense. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DEFENSE. Now c'mon Offense, make us proud.

 

[rolltide1969]

Need to clean up the mental mistakes this half.......roll tide!
