🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs. up chuck u

[alabama mike]

Good- no serious injuries
Bad- ugly win
Ugly- lack of focus, urgency and player commitment. Some of these guys are playing selfish football.

 

[rick4bama]

Good- Bama Win!! BY two TDs!!
Bad- defense. Two very Bad play!
Ugly- Letting that other team band to play that UGLY CRAP!!!

 

[bamatommy]

Good—-15 straight over those hideous orange sicle goobers, pick and 47-yard return, big games for Young, Metchie, B Rob, Williams, Anderson and the defensive line (at times but not all game)

Bad—-blocked punt, fumble inside the ten yard line, several errant passes/drops

Ugly—-secondary except for that pick

 

[Trob]

Good - Got the W, and that's what matters most in the end.

Bad - Defense, long stretches of offensive play-calling, blocking, drops and other mental mistakes.

Ugly - That whole road to the win. It was an ugly, ugly game relative to Bama's standard.

Again, got the W but this team has got a LOT of improvement to go. Forget the playoffs and the SECCG, just focus on getting better. Way too much talent on this team to be giving ut that much hope for that long and we got better teams coming.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Good: Wore them down and won by 28. Ran 92 plays to their 54. Overall, The defense played really well, 3 busts aside… especially the front 7. I thought OL played well. 3 Guys had over 100 yards of offense (B. Robinson, Metchie, & Williams).

Bad: GMac touched on it, but I wish there had been more quick hit runs and more runs to the outside early on. Young had some really big runs (good), but also holds onto the ball too long at times (bad). In spots, the team appears to lose its focus and intensity. I guess at this point that’s just going to be an issue all year.

Ugly: The roughing the kicker changed the trajectory of the 1st half. Too much costly confusion on the backend of the defense, led to 3 big plays for the Vols. UT’s hurry up was the cause of most of it, but the mistakes were costly.

 

[alabamajack]

Good: we haven't lost to Tennessee since my girl was born
Bad:. Our secondary leaves a lot to be desired. Play calling at times
Ugly: punt block, running into the kicker penalty

Just curious. Why is Trey Sanders only playing in mop up duty? Has he still not recovered fully?

 

[RollllTide!]

Good third Sat in October is still sacred.

Bad defense needs rehab

Ugly. Tinrcee still has too many kissing cousins

 

[ElephantStomp]

Good: Got the W. Defense played really good outside of a couple blown coverages.

Bad: The commentary on ESPN.

Ugly: That ugly ass orange

 

[mando]

Good- 15th win over the Viles and by 28 points while not playing a clean game. This team has a really high ceiling if they can figure out how to put it together. As someone said above lets just focus on getting better and see where things fall.
Bad- OL pass blocking at times especially #79.
Ugly- The Vile hideous orange colors and giving them an ounce of hope!!!

 

[Bama Guy]

Good - Bryce Young's running threat
Bad - Viles covered our receivers
Ugly- lapses in concentration by a few players (blocking on punt i.e.), secondary out of position several times

RTR - can't be too ugly with 15 in a row!!!

 

[UAgrad93]

Good- a 28 point thrashing of the Hillbillies! BY being a bit more assertive in the open field. Metchie and Williams both go over 100 and BRob grinds out another 100.
Bad- roughing the punter and our secondary in the first half!! WTH? I hate to call out a kid negatively, but Daniel Wright is a damn foul ball in high weeds back there and a screw up looking for a place to happen. I saw all I needed to see when he pulled up in pursuit one of the Viles TDs. I think CNS saw it too and that’s when Hellams came in to finish.
Ugly- Heupel looks like a young Fat Phil! He’s a whiny lard ass too! Having the punt blocked was awful as well. As much grief as the defense was receiving on Twitter and on Facebook, they stiffened up there with their backs to the wall. Who knows the outcome had we given up 7 there. Momentum has a way of making guys play better than they actually are.

 

[TerryP]

Ugly: The roughing the kicker changed the trajectory of the 1st half.

Ugly: running into the kicker penalty

This is one we can chalk up to one of those "fluky' type of plays, right?

Braswell was trying to hold up and not run into the guy when Roydell hits him in the back forcing the contact. The ugly part comes to my mind seeing (what four or five guys?) so many Tide defenders around the kicker and his protection unit.

It was just weird. Why go for the block on 4th and 23? A odd call there by the staff.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Good- Beating UT by 28, Will Anderson
Bad- Mental errors, running into the kicker,, 70 yard pass plays on secondary, middle still open.
Ugly- First half, the color orange, since of urgency or intensity seems lackadaisical at times

 

[bama alum]

Good: Roydell Williams trucking a defender and Mathis's QB sack
Bad: tinersee's defense leaving a WR wide open in the middle of the field...twice
Ugly: the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter

 

[SnakeFan]

Good: cigar smoke in the stadium with 5 minutes left to play
Bad: Offense first 3 series of the 3rd quarter. I’ll need to double check but it seems to me we‘ve been sluggish in the 3rd quarter fairly often this year
Ugly: I hate Orange. I also agree with with UAgrad93, phat phil jr

 

[BamaFan334]

Good - big win in a competitive game against a very solid quarterback. William Anderson is actually practicing what he preached after A&M. He really looks to have added another gear and some endurance. Bryce Young was like a doctor with a scalpel during heart surgery. The guy is smooth and puts the ball where it needs to go. Brian Robinson again with another rough and tough game. Williams and Metchie stepping up again.

Bad - outside of William Anderson, the defense didn't seem inspired to me. I could be off, but the secondary is just lost. It was nice to see Christian Harris surface again, I will say that. How many busted coverages can a defense have before something changes? A decent quarterback will chew us up and spit out that secondary. I'm ready to see Kool-Aid more to see if in fact he is the real deal.

Ugly - I took Tennessee in a three team parley at -26. That dang 4th down on their own ~30 killed me. A few plays later we scored, and won by 28. Guess that's what I get, but dang. Hit the Virginia and Notre Dame part and my own boys got me.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

good. Go home to Tennessee for another year without yard rollled

Crowd. Wow. Electric

Bad. Those blown defensive assignments

Ugly. Those faked injuries

 

[mando]

Why go for the block on 4th and 23? A odd call there by the staff.

Thought the same thing at the time. Just seemed unnecessary during that time in the game. Would you assume that even if CNS did not call it he did not overrule it or the players did this on their own which seems unlikely.

Ugly. Those faked injuries

It became blatantly obvious but in the end it did not matter. Shameful non the less. The downfall of Phil Jr will be lack of D if he keeps putting that product out on the field.

 

[rammerjammer]

Good: We didn't play a good game and won.

Bad: We had entirely too much SIM (self induced misery). roughing kicker, 4th and 28. (automatic first down). turnover on the 9 as you're going in to score.

Ugly. We looked like we were running on fumes. This off week will provide some much needed rest. Tennessee Orange.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

@TerryP

Looked like they had it. But strange call none the less. Jojo was standing around 50. Would have been good field position
