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

[TerryP]

Ugly...play of #10 at QB......Hell #4,#11,and #6 wouldn't even get a spot of SportsCenter if #10 was the QB for Bama.

There are times I wonder what you're seeing and then wonder if it's just a matter of how you're expressing what you break down. I'm not sure which it is.

Here you're right in a sense. IF this was all judged on last nights game Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith wouldn't be on Sportscenter. Receivers who drop balls aren't featured.

Mac went 6-11 last night which easily could have been 9/11 or 10/11 without the drops.

I'm not in the least bit worried about Mac. A week of reps with the 1's working the Arkansas game plan will straighten a lot of that out.

On an ironic note...with a group complaining about Levy and Griese he dropped a note in the game where they should have been paid attention. There's an adjustment on the receivers side of things with a QB change—a lefty to a righty makes a difference.

Here's another example that leaves me wondering:

Hell the 12rc RB's like they were out to practice early a couple of times.

Out of 37 attempts, UT had two big runs (25 and 33) on the night. There was a total of four over 10 yards (11, and 13 as I recall where the other two.) Their running game was controlled. Chandler, who had the 25 yard burst, ended up with 23 total on the night. Four carries, one for 25 and the other three for a combined -2 total yardage. Take out those two runs (25, and 33) and they are averaging 1.7 yards per carry.

You can't take out the two runs nor them making 50% or more of their 3rd downs. The fumble recover/TD was huge in that game as well as the holding call on 10R #64 when they had it within the Bama 10 thus preventing them from a TD.
Do you believe Mack Jones doesn't get practice time with the 1st team receivers? Really.

Very limited. Where have you been for the last 12 years? (The only season we've seen practice reps split differently was last season with Jalen and Tua.)

You can't take out the two runs nor them making 50% or more of their 3rd downs. The fumble recover/TD was huge in that game as well as the holding call on 10R #64 when they had it within the Bama 10 thus preventing them from a TD.

I agree, you can't simply take out those runs. However, you can't look at the overall picture without taking those same runs in context. It's no different that last season with Mond having 98 against Bama and 54 coming off of one play. Mond's yardage wasn't definitive last season just like those two runs I've mentioned are definitive for yesterday's game.

Good: our punter looked great. Another year of beating Tennessee and liked the lights.
Bad: penalties
Ugly: Injuries.
