Sugar Bowl Alabama vs Ohio State

[05_never_again]

The real gut punch for Bama was the interception after the awful punt when they had great field position. Kiffin immediately dialed up some slow developing PA pass and gave them the ball right back when they had their foot on their throat. Horrible playcalling.

Watching SEC network and on the Finebaum show there was Bama fans having a meltdown. And something amazing happened, I have never agreed with a Bama fan until today. They said that Kiffin should not be allowed on the bus. Totally agree.

Buck Fama - Go Vols!

oregon needs to beat the piss out of ohio state too.

would have been nice had some of the other sec teams won (especially auburn), but I'll take everything else with no problem.

Lets all root for OSU against Oregon:wink:

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

It was just kind of difficult to believe because it takes the average BAMA fan a few hours to add up the score.

Okay, you owned me there.
Good job.

 

[TrueOrange]

Indeed. We also beat SC, who beat GA, So we destroyed GA right?

And since UGA also beat Arky who shut out Ole Miss, we blasted them as well, right?

(But we also lost to Indiana and beat Minnesota and Kansas State?)

With Bama's defense this year, has their regression just been a matter of talent? That side of the ball has absolutely regressed, not just this year but also last year. Nowhere near as good as it was during 2009 - 2011.

Bama and LSU are becoming akin to an elite basketball school like UK. They have elite talent but for shorter periods. They play with less experience and it' ongoing because they keep landing 3 year guys. They'll always be good but will be up and down from NC level.

That's also kind of excusing Blake, though, for throwing a terrible pass on something he should probably have seen wasn't there.

We somehow won 20 games and lost 5 bowl games.

I would counter that Kiffin's offense put up sufficient points to have won the game had coach smart's defense done their job.

LOL, exactly!
Somehow, Bama losing to OSU and Ole Miss losing to TCU does not make me feel like the Vols lost to either.

But as OC, Kiffin has to know his players. Asking Sims to move the ball vertically down the field isn't the strength of their offense. He was either too dumb to see or too stubborn to run Henry/Yeldon about 75% of the time and kept asking Sims to throw the ball vertically down the field.

I know they wanted to get the ball to Cooper, but if you can physically dominate their front 7, why not run it? This was one of the worst games I've ever seen him call.

This and that Bama puntee, my goodness he gift wrapped multiple safety opportiunities for that D.

 

[Obsessed]

I won't go that far yet.

We don't, and CBJ is not the answer. Saban, kiffin,and smart have been exposed.

And it started with Dobbs....

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

I'm just saying Kiffin ain't to blame for bama's bed shatting tonight.

 

[SGMVols]

I hope UGA hires Kirby Dumb as their head coach when Richt decides he's had enough. He'd make Ray Goff look like Bear Bryant.

Even ESPN said afterwards it was a bad pass. Had he put a little more air on it, like he should have, it should have gotten there.

And if Sims doesn't have the ability to do such (which Sims should also know) he should just have thrown it away. It's not like this was 4th down and he had to throw that.

 

[Coug]

Urban just admitted in the press conference he was the one that called that passing play. Pretty much said it wasn't the right call.

 

[golfballs]

So? It's great to see Bama lose and if you disagree then you're a sh**ty Vols fan. And besides, if it bothers you that much, don't come in this thread and look at all the posts since it's obviously driving you insane for some reason. You need help my friend instead of trying to call everybody out about this.

Congrats on the win tonight! I only care when it's us who beats bama

What about kiffin?

But why even call that play? It would have taken a precise touch pass to get the ball over the defender, who was in decent position.

Sims isn't a great passer, and Ohio St had trouble stopping Henry. It was first down on the Buckeye 20. Why are you even passing it in that situation?

Henry carried the ball 13 times in that game. Inexcusable.

Perhaps.

But it's fun to blame him.

Hells yeah!


And Tennessee beat South Carolina who beat UGA who beat Arkansas who dominated Ole Miss who soundly beat a Boise State team that beat Arizona that beat Oregon.

Also, that same Oregon beat Florida State who beat a Georgia Tech that beat the Virginia Tech that beat Ohio State.


Therefore, Tennessee should be playing Tennessee in the national championship. Vols are your national champs

 

[Vol Catdaddy]

As much criticism as you can direct his way tonight, it is hard to say he "screwed" them given they gave up 42 points. The 85 yard TD run was a backbreaker.

I hear what you're saying and I am not a bama fan, but osu didn't stop yeldon or Henry, especially Henry and you stop running the ball:question:

 

[ainge10heisman]

Lots of butt hurt going on in Bammer land tonight. That's just the way I like it.
