| GAME THREAD 🏈 LSU versus Alabama: 7 ET, on ESPN

[MunchyOs]

If we somehow finagle winning the West, Georgia will skull drag us

 

[BamaMD]

Other than Will Anderson, this was an embarrassing game for BAMA. Did not impress with so many top recruits at the game.

This team will get their ass kicked by Georgia. Maybe by Auburn. Maybe by Arkansas. Although the defense was suspect, the offensive line did not get the job done tonight. Twenty points against a bunch of defensive backups is pitiful.

Well... the end to another puppet show.

Six rushing yards! When was the last time Bama’s rushing yards were in the single digits?

 

[BamaFan334]

I'll take this win. I knew LSU would fight. Sometimes you need a win like this just to get to the next one. Pretty sure we'd all have accepted this at Texas A&M too. Not happy with what we put on the field or the box score, but will take the W. Will Anderson played one hell of a game and Dallas Turner came up big late. Sometimes you just gotta take the ugly win ladies and gents.

Awbarn and Jawja will do the same thing to this team. The o-line is atrocious.

 

[Davestwin]

I don’t even think Saban will be able to spin this one in a beneficial way.

 

[Rolling Tide]

This team is terrible...

 

[Bammerboy321]

This is one of the worst "wins" I've ever witnessed in my life. Absolutely embarrassing. There is a lot broken with this team and I don't see it getting fixed. The excuses have to stop, too.

God honest truth unfortunately. Everyone has their opinions obviously, but this is not a good Alabama team. Not even close.

 

[XXL TideFan]

No chemistry on this team, no fire.

 

[bamanc50]

One thing for sure. Alabama football from 2020 to 2021 has taken a steep, steep decline. With the exception of Will Anderson and just a couple of other players this team is a total embarrassment to the tradition and standards of excellence.

 

[Trob]

The bad news is that this is not a championship team.

The good news is that this is not a championship team so, you know...no pressure.

 

[mando]

We are so used to Saban reloading with players and coaches but apparently it has caught up with him this year. I know I am saying this with the knowledge that we are 8-1 but that is not the only measure.

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Transition year. Gonna need to clean house of a lot of things before next year.

 

[footballer]

I'm happy we won but disappointed in the way we played. To me, this team is undisciplined and looks poorly coached in several units and positions.
Also this team looks to be poorly coordinated in all three phases, offense, defense and special teams. JMO

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

28 rushing yards if you leave out Bryce's -22. Think about that. Our Oline is horrible. Marrone is getting paid too much for that product

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I don’t even think Saban will be able to spin this one in a beneficial way.

Publicly, he's going to continue being positive about them and avoid getting down on them. He did it after the Vol game and he did it again tonight. He's aware of the issues, but he's being really careful in how he addresses them, especially to/through the media. The biggest reason for that is, this team just isn't mentally tough as a whole. I think he's trying to build up their confidence because he knows they are going to have to have it for any sort of postseason chance. Most any other season, the tone of some of these press conferences would have totally different (i.e. fireball spitting Saban).

 

[64Tide]

Not sure this is all on Marone. It’s not possible to block all defenders at the LOS when you are outnumbered. The only chance the corndogs had to stop the offense was to gamble every play which they basically did. Short passing game was the go to here. The 2 equalizers, #19 and 81 have all but disappeared. The tone was set early with the Latu drop.
