🏈 GAME THREAD 🌹The 2026 Rose Bowl - Alabama vs Indiana: 3 CT on ESPN (SECN has the Crimson Tide Network feed with SkyCast.)

It is wild to me that we still attempt to bring the ball back on kick returns. Does DeBoer not see how bad his special teams are?

Sure wish Nicky had picked Indiana. His track record for picks sucks. He may be good at coaching... but I wouldn't put a nickle on a single of his Vegas bets.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Just looks like an uninspired team. Can't believe yet again in the playoffs, Alabama looks unprepared. May work against OU. It ain't going to work vs Cig.

First down!

 

[Bammerboy321]

What the absolute fuck is Grubb calling.

 

[Bammerboy321]

"Hey we're down 10-0. Let's call a slow developing run play up the middle."

 

[bamatommy]

Running up the middle = peeing into a stiff wind.

What the absolute fuck is Grubb calling.

Trash

And Indy has been on a shelf for 20 + days...

Pathetic run D

Soft

Ty is doing what he has done the second half of the year. He is not seeing or willing to throw into windows. 3rd and 10 ansld we're running 20-30 yard routes in a zone. That's why you don't run on 2nd down there.

We'll be ok if we can drive here.

What drive?

 

[bamanc50]

The middle of the field is wide open and Grubb keeps trying to throw long down the field. I had high hopes for him but this is way too big for him.

 

[bamatommy]

It is very frustrating to see the same unit (o-line) struggle ALL SEASON and our coaches are so ineffective at fixing the issue.

 

[alabama mike]

On that last replay, all of our WR’s were running deep routes. WE CANNOT DO THAT WHEN THEY ARE BRINGING PRESSURE! The only way to beat pressure is quick hitters, screens and passes to the TE. Geez!

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Grubb. His play calling and play rhythm is bad

 

[Bammerboy321]

Ty looks unprepared. Team looks uninspired. Just hope this isn't a trend of things to come under DeBoer. His teams sure do not improve a lot throughout the season.

Ty is unfortunately only as good as the coaching he receives.

 

[bamatommy]

Sack!
