🏈 Scoring concerns?

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Sure, there are things we could nitpick. Easy for we armchair coaches to do.

But, I heard a stat by the broadcasters yesterday that I hadn't thought about...

We're 100% in the red zone.

And, this:

And of course, we can also consider that we have probably more non-offensive TDs in the 1st four games than ever under Saban, so obviously that bolsters our scoring.

But, that just attributes a total team effort.

That 100% Red Zone efficiency tho....

 

[planomateo]

13 teams at 100%.

NCAA Statistics

 

[UAgrad93]

8th in the nation in scoring at 46.5 points per game.

 

[Che Boludo]

Not sure if I read it here or elsewhere, but it said this is the most points a Bama team has scored over the first 4 games in 95 years.

Not too bad for a QB still looking over his shoulder at BB8 because of accuracy issues... god, I hope we come around.
:sarcasm:

A heck of a lot better than the old Freddie Kitchens days huh?

 

[jdpas29]

i like the designed runs for Jalen in the red zone. We could easily set up bootleg passes to the endzone by doing a little more of that going into the SEC schedule.

 

[EdfromT'town]

Tied with Vandy for #1!...I need a shower.

Times have changed; A LOT. As I recall when Freddie left UA he was in the top five for attempts, yards, and completions.

The identity we showed up with on Saturday was a thing of beauty. It was the second half of the ole miss game and it probably scares some future opponents when they watch it.

We are the "old guys" now that can recall when you ran the ball 3 times out of 5 and only threw deep if it was a hail marry lol

 

[BamaFan334]

I'd like to get the red zone touchdown passes up a lot, simply because we need an intermediate passing game, can't be all bombs and swing passes, atleast I would not like to only be those things. Looks like we need to get OJ in there more. But hey, hard to argue with a 100% pass rate in the red zone when things count.

 

[TUSKtimes]

All I want going forward is certainly not necessarily anymore PPG but a plan of attack that consistently targets a certain 6'6" mismatch that runs downfield like the wind. No LB can chase him, no safety can out-reach him. Pretty sure that TD to Mack Wilson had OJ Howard's name all over it. Let's keep getting the ball to 88 until their tongues hang out. That is all.

And NOONE is talking about the pass to Mack Wilson... if you dont think thats opened some eyes of DC's around the SEC you're nuts. Terrence Cody, A'Shawn Robinson, Jesse Williams all played in that jumbo package but none of them ever got a chance to touch the ball. I do recall us doing a throw back to one of the offensive linemen against Auburn one year or something though.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Thought Hurts made a great back shoulder throw to Cam Sims at the one-yard line, from about 30 yards out, against KS. There is an effortlessness to Hurts' generalship and motion that is getting a lot of his production overlooked. But I saw a giddiness from Saban after the game that was remarkable, given his mood two weeks earlier. I think it says we have a super young QB who is growing leaps and bounds as we speak.

Agreed.

You're right, great play.

I think the the lineman eligible play was against LSWho a couple years ago..

In those days, it counted as a completion when the ball was embedded in the receiver's chest.

This is the only one I can find (and I remembered it)



But I distinctly remember a two point conversion where we threw back to the tackle some damn where.
