Pitiful. Can't believe we weren't more successful running the ball on third and long against Bama lol

How depressing. Glad we managed the game.

It sure did not seem like we did that well watching the game.
It was total domination by a vastly superior team.
Our defense is bad, offense worse.
The talent gap everywhere is glaring vs the dogs and tide.

Had we came out with AIR JG, Wee Little Nicky would have brought the heat like the dogs did in the second half. I suspect everyone knows how that would have turned out. I don't see how we had any other options than running the ball and trying to eat clock. We were outclassed at every position. Anyone not wearing orange colored shades can see it. We had a snowball's chance in July.

4/16 on 3rd down conversions
1/10 possessions lasting over 2 minutes
13/24 for 162 yards passing against a team whose #1 weakness is stopping the deep ball...

And the narrative is "good boy, QB1". You didn't give more points to the other team than you scored for yours.

The entire coaching staff owes the fan base an apology for this garbage.

It wasn’t the fact necessarily, that they ran the ball on 3rd and long, it was the type of running plays that were so puzzling. Even I, as a Bama fan, was asking what the hell they were doing!

I still cannot understand why our strategy wasn't to shorten the game. I would have instructed JG to take that play clock down to 1 on every single down! Knowing what we have and what we are actually capable of, and knowing the potency of Alabama's offense, the absolute last thing we should've done was go to a no-huddle, hurry up offense! Completely moronic strategy going into that game! Look I get that we weren't going to win anyway, but I would have absolutely mitigated the advantages they had over us as much as I could. Going no huddle played right into their hands.

So why the hurry up O so much?
