Lawd. Gotta throw it to him cause they can’t cover him

Nobody can cover Smitty (and they couldn’t cover Waddle).

Paging @bcracker and @Dalton Tider

@silvermetalflake you here?

Review that punt touch. The ball had stopped. What was State's Witherspoon getting all pissy about?

 

[alabama mike]

Pleased with the defense this first half. Gotta call my dad in Florence and see what the coach thinks.

#14 on defense is going to help us as the year moves ahead

Has our defense gotten this much better, or is MSU's offensive offensive? I'm hoping for a significant defensive improvement. They kicked Georgia's a$$ in the 2nd quarter last week.

Defense is keeping it in front of them and then closing aggressively and wrapping up. Textbook plan to stop a Leach offense

Have looked very disciplined and getting nice penetration up front

Defense is playing fundamentally better. But missy has a decided lack of athletic ability at the skill positions

Okay, then there's confidence that comes after dominating a cupcake (same kind of school this year). A week off and then a dominating performance against the corndogs...Let's go!

I will go with Miss Mistake isn't a very good football team at this time. Our 3 DL are actually getting in the face of their Brand New QB.

Hopefully none of our players will get injured. When games get out of hand then players tend to easy up a little and get sloppy. State is content to take all of their 35 seconds to shorten the game and Bama should do the same.

No argument here. Like I say I see fundamental improvement. You have to do certain things no matter who you are playing. Those are the things that encourage me. Also they seem to be handling switches and alignments against a somewhat tricky offensive type

 

[BetyoursoulBamaisbetterthanyou]

That was the first bad series

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

They call them penalties for a reason. Killed that drive

Really needed to make a statement with that series.
