-The beatdown on Saturday reminded me a lot of the beatdown that BAMA (Fran led) dished out to them in 2002. Then, like on Saturday, the Vols looked like they just didn't want any more of the Tide after the 3rd quarter ended.
-How many catches would DJ Hall have had to have made before the Vols adjusted and covered him? 20? 30? 50? Were they just hoping he'd wear himself out or something?
-When John Parker Wilson is comfortable, and is on, we saw what the offense can do. The fact that they did that with a makeshift O-Line and without the power RB is even more impressive.
-Matt Caddell continues to quietly have a tremendous senior season.
-The draw play to Grant on the TD was a great playcall, second only to the 4th and 1 pre-snap "shift" that made the Vols jump.
-You knew the game was over when the Vol band had to resort to playing Rocky Top when their offense picked up first downs in the 3rd quarter.
-Poor Rashad Johnson got reamed by Saban for the late hit, and it never should have happened. That was a horrible call. Saban said after the game he felt bad for getting on him so hard, I'm sure he felt 1000x worse after seeing the film.
-Open letter to opposing teams...
-I'm glad the Vols abandoned their running game, I think Saban was happy about that as well.
-Erik Ainge talks a lot of trash it seems. I wish Robbert Horry would have been around after the game to throw a towel at his ass.
-Another very solid game for Leigh Tiffin... who now leads the SEC in FG's.
-Baron Huber and Kirby Smart win the BAMA Spirit Award this week. Actually, Kirby wins it every week, but Huber was especially excited out there on Saturday, and for good reason. I was happy for him.
-The Tide had no turnovers and only punted twice in the game. The Vols are lucky BAMA didn't score 50+.
-Julio Jones had to have liked what he saw on Saturday. A blowout win, great atmosphere, and a BAMA WR sets a single game reception record.
-Speaking of Julio, he got a call from a Vol coach before the game saying they were glad he would be attending the game in Tuscaloosa, "so he could see who the big dog really is." Oops.
-On the recruiting front, things are still going very good. BAMA is in excellent shape with Barrett Jones, and he could commit at any time (basically whenever Saban gives him the go-ahead).
