  1. Crawford played really well. He had a couple solid plays on punt coverage, and a couple nice plays in run support as the Bama RB is trying to get to the edge.
  2. Just a ridiculously good performance. Bama fans are throwing Milroe under the bus, but a less mobile QB gets sacked a LOT more than 5 times.
  3. Just spitballing: Nebraska, Florida State, Miami... smaller alumni bases, and (seemingly) fewer tech bros and oilmen. In a pure suddenly-legal bidding war, even Bama might have a hard time vs Phil Knight's Ducks or big alumni bases like OSU, UT or Michigan. Admittedly, this guess is based on nothing.
  4. Me too. He isn't going to have a lot of games where there's 800 pounds of War Daddies running right at him from the instant he takes the snap.
  5. Reading the last few pages about Milroe: Yeah, he threw two horrible balls, and those = 10 points. But the pressure he was getting RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE was crazy.... Broughton, Murphy, Sorrell, Sweat... If Bama yanked Milroe for someone else, they may have thrown one less pick, but they'd probably also have given up 8 or 9 sacks. I would also point out in Milroe's defense: If you watch his sacks, there's just nowhere for him to go with the ball. Think "Colt McCoy v Nebraska in CCG." Same thing. Changing QB wasn't going to fix our offensive problems in that game, and it wasn't going to fix Bama's last night. I do agree that their offense isn't optimized for Milroe's skill set. He would be a nightmare to defend if their base running play was to read the backside DE (a la 2005 Texas).
  6. Agreed But pretty much they need everything to go right to win at this point
  7. If Ewers keeps that, it's another first down
  8. Bama had 33 yards passing before that final drive... and that number included two very tough catches in traffic. I like our chances
  9. Blue has to run that out for no gain Can't stop and lose 3
  10. I was pretty fired up. Needed that WNBA commercial to bore the living fuck out of me. I'm good now.
  11. I enjoyed their fans booing a holding call when their DB had a handful of jersey for a full 15 yards.
  12. I hate hate hate that call on first down Especially the first snap of the drive Now looking at three and out
  13. 10,000 dudes: "THAT'S A FUCKING HOLD!" 10,000 wives: "Honey, you have to settle down."
  14. pretty close Baylor got a reversal on the same play vs Utah (changed to incomplete) Doubt we'll get this
  15. Doesn't it feel that way for Miami too? They want to hype this as a huge preseason matchup, but it's probably 8-4 Aggies vs 6-6 Canes.
  16. I bet on the Aggies once a decade or so. Today was that day. I just don't understand the Miami hype. In their last four games of 2022, they loss to Florida State, Clemson, and Pittsburgh by an average of around 5 touchdowns.
  17. Seems that way, right? Both "holds" were the kind of grabby-grabby that you *could* flag on every snap.
