Back to the thread subject, the teams floor was much lower than we expected to start the season. They improved significantly but still were up and down even during the same game.

In the UM game it was a jekyl and hyde on both sides just like it had been all season. The offense was horrendous in the first half. The play calling and strategy was bad. Seemed to want to push the ball down the field but UM was blitzing and cutting down on the time Milroe had to throw. They should have adjusted the play calling in the first half to the short passing game to give Milroe easier throws but they waited to do that to the 2nd half. Also, they went with the freshman RB who seemed to bring more power. Not sure what that was about but was good to see him in the game and running hard like he did.

On the D side they played ok in the first half and kept the score close but they gave up 200 yards against an average offense. In the 2nd half before the UM drive that tied the game they had completely shut down UM. I think they had something like 23 yards at that point. That is a dominating D performance against anyone. The D just could not sustain it after UM converted the 4th and 2 got got some energy back.

By the time they got into OT, UM had gotten the momentum back and Bama could not recover unfortunatley

[QUOTE="mando, post: 1519130, member: 21520"] Back to the thread subject, the teams floor was much lower than we expected to start the season. They improved significantly but still were up and down even during the same game. In the UM game it was a jekyl and hyde on both sides just like it had been all season. The offense was horrendous in the first half. The play calling and strategy was bad.

They should have adjusted the play calling in the first half to the short passing game to give Milroe easier throws but they waited to do that to the 2nd half.
