Insane stat from Saturday

[SicEmSmokey33]

After Bama's last touchdown, their last 4 possessions resulted in 3 total yards and 0 first downs!! I knew the defense locked it down, but that is just unreal!!

This along with Milroe's 25 total yards of rushing.

Something started to sink in for me yesterday. In 2022, we played a great game, at least offensively.

On Saturday, Bama was just outclassed. Take the mullet A off that uniform in your mind for a moment. Pretend that it was Cackalacky or Kentucky we were playing. The pattern of the game is one where a team that is overmatched punches above their weight for a while, gets some breaks, but can’t capitalize. Then eventually the cream rises to the top. Second half was 24-10. First half could’ve easily been 24-14 or so in our favor.

Really hopeful that the second half was a turning point and not just a one off for Nico and the offensive line.

11 yards net is what I saw in the box score.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Yes and they didn't make it past the 35. Cant remember us closing a game in that much of a dominating fashion.

And all this after losing Pili last week

We will probably never see a Bama team like this one. Hopefully, Bama will get tired of playing against teams like ours.

11plays. 3 yards and 2 takeaways. Fhar Banks!

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Defense looked good again

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Clutch your Tim Banks tightly because he may be gone after this season. He and Willie earned a ton of respect.

This board wanted both fired in August.

Bama could have scored way more in the first half too, can't talk about the score without our missed opportunities and not give them credit for theirs as well.

Bama threw 2 “50-50” balls in the end zone. They won one, lost one.

But they also got their first TD only because of a totally BS pass interference call on 3rd down

 

[farmdogvol]

Bama ran almost 80 offensive plays, yet the Vols defense was still stopping the run and bringing pressure in the 4th quarter. The depth of the D-line is incredible, depth is best I can remember them ever having.

Milroy would have a scored if Brooks didn't shoestring him. We may have if Sampson didn't fumble, etc....

We could do If's all day, fact is those things either didn't or did happen and can't be changed. Dwelling on what it's is unproductive

What it is, is our D.

Tennessee made two turnovers in the red zone. If Bama “could have” on their turnover, Vols “could have” on theirs.

We definitely looked like we were just as good or better than them. If both teams played a clean game (neither did) we win by 2-3 scores.

Thank goodness this board isn’t full of ADs.

My point exactly. Can't say "if UT doesn't do this, then it would not have been close" without saying the same for Bama

Ridiculous take. First half could have also been a 3 score deficit in favor of Bama. This is definitely a weakened Bama team but this was a tightly contested game throughout. Bama led deep into the 4th quarter.

how much would you bet that most upper SEC teams start emulating this with their DL and playing as many (good) DLinemen as possible.
