It may just be some South Carolina voodoo, bad juju or something. I believe we’ll get’er done!

 

[94 Grad]

I haven’t heard T. Lewis mentioned all game. Hell, nobody has gotten in the backfield on pass plays. Absolutely pitiful pass rush. Just like the Clemson game. I thought we’d have a good line this year and get good pushes but it sure isn’t happening the first 3 games against weak teams. UNC pressured the QB more than we are. Mack Brown and UNC...

Some of it is USc design. They’ve done well with quick throws and rolling pocket. They’ve schemed well and they have had some good fortune too.

What’s bothering me is the imbalance in Run/pass. 7 rush attempts to 24 pass attempts. We’re averaging 5 per rush... it’s not like they are stuffing us.

Run da bawl!

 

[bamaledge]

I’m going on the record and say we sack the boy 2 times and pick off two passes in the second half!

Agree bamaledge. We'll win the game but what I see with poor tackling, no pass rush, and poor offensive line play makes me nervous for games in December/January.

I know, I’m about to puke!

This Bama defense is as ordinary as they come. Without #13 throwing the ball around the park this bunch is 8-4 but he is still standing. Our two TE's are so ordinary that the contribute little and both get pushed around with ease. Will and staff are killing us their TE passing scheme keeping them in 3rd and makeable yardage. #33 and #24 aren't getting done. I see #92 is now apart of those playing and he looks to be a positive. We're lucky USCE didn't make that last TD before half. The Bama OL isn't it at this point. The 1st 5-8 minutes of this 3rd qtr is going to be really important for they believe they can win this game and Bama hasn't done much to convince them they can't.

We'll see.

I am to the point where we either punt or go for it in 4th every time. No reason to try a FG at all anymore

I assume you have watched our punter

USc is playing this game with 100% effort on every play. It’s their super bowl in their mind. They give extra effort on every play.

They also have a TD on a pass that 99 times out of 100 is knocked down or intercepted.

They are throwing everything at this game and hoping to just find a rabbit foot. I’ll be proud to just get past this game with a win. It’ll be a great eye opener for they team to realize just how bad some teams want to beat Bama. Help them prepare and focus on the rest of the season.

Maybe Tenessee will fire Jeremy Pruitt and we can get him back. JP could put together a great defense! Not wishing bad luck on him.

Great point! They are giving it 100% while are boys were probably listening to “rat poison”.

I know their QB has had all day to make passes - no pressure at all.

 

[bamaledge]

Who makes better adjustments? CNS or Boom?

 

[94 Grad]

I wouldn’t say that. He’s just not holding the ball... it’s a lot of quick throws.

 

[bamaledge]

That was their plan. I heard boom talk about it last week.

 

[94 Grad]

#89 on USc is serious about this game

 

[jlabit]

I have never in my 69 years see Bama with such bad tackling skills.

 

[bamaledge]

We have to stop them with the fist possession of the second half

 

[94 Grad]

That was their plan. I heard boom talk about it last week.

It’s a good plan... and his players are fighting for every yard. It’s Nickel and dime to death.

And the QB is making zero mistakes.

Nobody does live tackling in practice anymore once the season starts.

 

[bama alum]

Great play by Lewis! Only need about fifteen more of those this half...

 

[pignjig17]

Hard to watch Bama put such an ordinary D on the field. No pass rush, and poor secondary coverage, and ZERO edge containment.
