🏈 GAME THREAD: Bama vs Va. Tech

[The_King]

Is anyone else worried that we are in shotgun formation more than any year I can remember? We have to start establishing a run game. Of course it may because of our OL...

 

[Bamsambo]

Back on top, but.......where is the running game?

 

[AllieBama]

'nother damn field goal

'nother damn field goal

I'll take it as long as we don't let them get a 1st down.....lol

The Wildcat isn't the problem. Having GMac on the field while running the Wildcat is the problem, that's 11 on 10 in Va Tech's favor.....NICE sack!!

 

[Bamsambo]

As usual, Defense will have to win it.

Has Defense come to be Alabama's SOP?

He's lined up on the very outside. That has nothing to do with it.

We are dealing with a hell of a lot of speed from their front seven/eight and the holes are closing quickly. That shouldn't be a shock, to anyone.

The O needs to settle down!

 

[Bamsambo]

This "Wildcat" crap is just that....crap. Coach Bryant is turning over in his grave.

 

[The_King]

C'mon defense. We need another stop and hopefully Javy can run a punt back

 

[Crimson13Tide]

He's lined up on the outside....with no one putting any real focus on him....then combine that with facing a top notch D.....it matters a LOT.

 

[Swamptick]

Nice stop on 3rd and 5. Now lets get a touchdown please.

 

[Bamsambo]

It ain't brain surgery folks. If you can't run the ball YOU WILL LOSE THE GAME! We ain't runnin' the ball.

 

[Crimson13Tide]

We have been running the ball, but when your starting HB is averaging 2.8 YPC.....that means they're stopping the run. Right now GMac is leading the team in rushing yards....that's not good.

 

[The_King]

We are asking way too much out of our Defense (obviously). McElroy needs to figure something out and him running the ball is not the answer.

No, I disagree completely. IF we had a secondary member making those tackles it would matter.

 

[Crimson13Tide]

I would understand why you disagree...if Matt Jones was our QB.

THERE YA GO!!! THAT'S MARK INGRAM!!

 

[The Tide Will Rise Again]

Them boys are getting a little better push. McElroy has to settle down.

 

[AllieBama]

I'm just not sold on the viability of the wildcat and its place in Alabama football. Too gimmicky for my liking and reminds me too much of Nutt.

 

[AllieBama]

Yeah and without the wildcat
