🏈 Just how impressive was the offense in 2020? Look at this fourth down stat.

 

[Davestwin]

That’s an absolutely amazing stat!

In the playoffs Bama had a total of 4 in quarters 1-3 (2 each game). Our opponents faced 10 in those same 6 quarters.

Can someone find how the other teams did against Bama?

That offense was a machine. Not sure how we will see that again any time soon.

Thought the same thing about Jimi Hendrix until I saw Eddie Van Halen.

Decided to go through the play by play on ESPN for opponent possessions. The Bama D forced 74 4th downs in the first 3 quarters across all SEC games last year.

Missouri - 7
A&M - 6
Ole Miss - 4 (they converted 2 of them)
Georgia - 6 (converted 1)
UCheat - 7
Miss State - 10 (converted 1 and the next play was an INT)
Kentucky - 8 (First play of 4th was another 4th down not included here)
Auburn - 8
LSU - 8
Arkansas - 7
Florida - 3

We complained often about our punting. But heck, it looks like from that stat we really didn’t need a punter. Might as well have gone for it those 6 times.

Not a big fan of either although I did take my wife to a Van Halen concert many years ago. Admire it for what it is but I am more of a Coltrane/Parker fan or acoustic musicians that do not use all of the electronic effects.... A topic for another day.

Throw Angus Young in there too.

Where would Angus be without the “g”?

Johnny Rivers...first concert with ms50+....

I sat there watching game after game thinking that well tonight Mac will be off and we're going to struggle.......not so much. I doubt we ever see anything like that again.

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
Oh, with every move he makes another chance he takes
The odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Clapton and many other guitar virtuosos including SRV always heaped praise on Chet Atkins.

Hendrix may have been the first hard rocker guitarist as he inspired many that followed later.
Lindsey Buckingham is one of my favorites.

 

[rick4bama]

Funny we were talking about 4th down? Now we talking about guitarist!

 

[Tidestalker]

It's just ridiculous. Last year's team was so talented it's hard to even fathom.

We know Smitty was the best player in CF, Waddle has already made some waves in the NFL, Harris will do the same... And on and on.

And FTR - Pat Surtain has basically been the star of Broncos camp so far. Pick 6 today looked too easy, but the consistent word is that he's been great and basically playing every position in the D Backfield.
