🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs. Mercer

[alabama mike]

Good- played a lot of people.

Bad- penalties and two big blown coverages.

Ugly- Bryce Young’s mustache.

Good We won
Bad. Penalties
Ugly almost everything

 

[bama alum]

Good - 1st half defense

Bad - quality of reps from the 2's and 3's

Ugly - Mercer's low blocks, two blown coverages

 

[alabamajack]

Good: JoJo Earle and Koolaide are going to be special
Bad: injuries and the backups need more experience
Ugly: Tyson's passing and I just hate these games. I'd rather play a good mid major or a below average power 5 team

 

[rick4bama]

Good- #2 QB getting a lot of playing time.

Bad- Yellows Birds!!!

Ugly- "D" Brokering cover!!!

Hoping Anderson will play next week?

 

[SnakeFan]

Good: D was holding Mercer to 65 yards midway thru 3rd qtr before the busted coverage TD

Bad: not really bad but the +20 yards pass attempts that went incomplete in the 1st half made it crystal clear how great Mac was last year.

Ugly: special teams holding calls

Hated to See:
Will Anderson below the knee block
missed FG 3rd qtr

Good ....win...#10 on offense getting minutes because we're going to need him
Bad...injury to #31....we must not have a backup center since #71 played with the 2nd team group
Ugly...2nd team offense and defense. This bunch needs an attitude adjustment and I better understand why Nick was on the prowl this week.
Tyson and Milroe looked like Ned in the 1st grade reader throwing the ball. We're luck #10 is calling the signals on defense instead of #8 and #42.

Glad that clusterfeck is over. The AD needs to bypass scheduling these teams going forward.

Just my opinion, but you use your star players very sparingly in these games if at all

 

[Davestwin]

Good - Saban doesn’t have to worry about rat poison for a while.
Bad - coverage breakdowns in second half, poor second team energy and play.
Ugly - these types of games.

 

[PurlJam]

Good- It’s over

Bad- playing these teams

ugly- risk of injury against these teams (hope Will is o.k.)

 

[mando]

Good- Bama Won

Bad- Not playing up to the Bama standard. Team is up and down on both sides. I am sure it is due to experience and trying to develop depth but Saban has been and continues to warn everyone.

Ugly- Injury to Anderson. Hope it is not serious as Suttles is reporting but just to close for comfort. Will hold my breath until I hear it from Saban.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Good- 1st team defense showed up and handled business.

Bad- Lethargic on offense at times, and it spread to the whole team in the 2nd half.

Ugly- 95 penalty yards.

For those wondering about Will Anderson, it sounds like a bullet was dodged. After the game it was being treated as a very slight sprain and hyperextension, pending MRI.

 

[UAgrad93]

Good- W with fans in the stands!!

Bad- intentional cheap shot on Will Anderson’s knee!

Ugly- penalties and blown coverages

The good: First half defense
The bad: Second half defense
The ugly: Injury to Will Anderson

I hate these games. They do nothing for us except let the backups have some playing time. Without fail, we get someone hurt playing them.

 

[RangeGuy]

Good: 1st Team D
Bad: Offense and 2nd and 3rd Team D
Ugly: Anderson injury and my posted language during the game (I apologize)

The worst thing for me as a fan was the line to get into the game, I always go to the Elephant Stomp and have plenty of time to get in but I was line for over 45 minutes and missed kickoff

With the ticket on your phone, I thought it would be easy to get in?

The lady never got mine to scan behind the screen or in front of the screen and just told me to go in after a few minutes

 

[Tidestalker]

-Appeared to avoid serious injury issues
-LB Play.... Those 2 dudes together are a great match... And they were thumping

Bad:
-Penalties

Ugly:
-Miscommunication on deep balls
