Pshhht!

Bet

We got whipped the 2nd half. No doubt there, however..... Heupel cost us. He needs to take points and learn to use our Punter. Dude is seriously a weapon. He has made some horrible decisions this year. Our guys fought, coaches cost us.

 

[posivol]

hype should have used a time out

 

[tampavolsfan]

The first half of the season team showed up for the second half of this game. What makes the angry is that the first half showed the level that this team is capable of playing. CJH is going to get the floor out of the players not their ceiling.

Book it.

Kentucky will give this team all they want next week. They can't get out of their own way sometimes and Milton will never be a good QB. Was hoping for serviceable by that is about gone too..

I figured we'd lose today. We just don't have the QB to pull off a win like this.

My main concern is not letting today carry over to next week

 

[Putbacks]

Surprised we didn't jump.

That would have required effort….

 

[Larkin]

We just did what everyone else does against us and that cost us 40 seconds.

That’s 3 plays for us. Should have called a timeout

HEAD REF IS REALTOR IN TUSCALOOSA

Team is going to have to learn when you’re leading good teams at halftime you have to play even harder in 2nd half.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I wouldn't be surprised to see punter run out of end zone here. Still qould need 2 scores to lose and they could kick breathing room.

 

[Carolinavols]

Another bad coaching decision allowing an extra 40 seconds to run off the clock.

 

[Flipdaddy]

He handicaps the whole offense. I don’t think the offense has gotten a first down in the second half.

Not his fault, play calling is garbage this 2nd half. I’ve been as critical as anyone but not this time

HEAD REF IS A REALTOR IN TUSCALOOSA

Do you think he gives little Nicky lap dances?

 

[vader]

I’m amazed we didn’t jump offsides

 

[ButchPlz]

The clock should have reset with only 25 seconds

Also correct.

 

[vavolfan6]

So of there is an injury you can just reset the game clock and keep the clock running?

What stops a team from keep faking injuries with the ball in their possession?

 

[VolinMichigan]

We're one more year away from being great. Next year gonna be a great year.

No we’re going to lose a ton of guys on defense and Oline. It’s going to be another 8 to 9 win ceiling. Maybe. Depends on how Nico plays. If he can read a defense and make quick decisions, we’ll be fine. Compared to where we’ve been, that’s fine. If we can get some guys through the portal, who knows. But next year is a step back most likely.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Out offense just wasn’t good enough to stay in the field in the second half

 

[PA Vol]

I hate that this feeds into some sort of narrative that Saban’s a genius because he’s not.

 

[DrTNT]

Bama has 1 penalty. We are still playing like crap but that’s garbage

Anyone who says this isn’t piss poor officiating is kidding themselves

 

[BradentonVol]

You people are blaming Milton???

Yes, and the fact that the coaches just don’t trust him to throw down field.

 

[ETV]

Well. We didn’t blink!

 

[Cartervol]

I figured we'd lose today. We just don't have the QB to pull off a win like this.

People still don't think it's his fault for overthrowing guys. I give up. Same people that defended JG for 3 years..

 

[hardyemt_p]

And that's what a seasoned coach does

 

[KeyVol14]

He handicaps the whole offense. I don’t think the offense has gotten a first down in the second half.

Yes let's ignore his great first half. Your right he's solely the reason we've given up 27 unanswered points
