Pruitt on the 4th down goal line fumble: "There was some miscommunication out there. That's our fault. It's nobody's fault. Coaches' fault. Starting with me."

Vol Nation was already breaking down the blocking assignments and had come to the conclusion it was a power run to the left and Guarantano keeping the ball was evidence of him "going rogue" so he should be benched now and forever.

They seriously have threads on their boards defending Pruitt yanking his QBs facemask while cursing at him on national TV, because everything wrong with the offense for two years is Guarantano's fault, and not his coaches (or the coaching he's received).

These people have gone completely off the rails.

You have to defend your coach when you realize how many offers it will take to land a replacement.

Our best two DE (Zuniga, Kentucky game and Greenard, Auburn game) have been out with high ankle sprains for much of the season. They both returned for LSU - too soon it seems - re injured their ankles, did not play Saturday, and are iffy for Georgia despite a bye week.

The two weeks estimate for Tua is a joke - if it is a true high ankle sprain.

I hate to say it because Tua is truly hurt but I hope he's out for the LSU game. I want Alabama to miss the playoffs entirely.

bama losing the lsu game without tua but winning every other game when he returns is the committee's best argument for two sec teams in the playoff.

Doesn’t even matter at this point. They have a built in excuse, regardless. I can already hear it. If Tua can’t go, well... they were without Tua. If Tua plays and Bama loses? Weeell, Tua is obviously playing hurt.

Win/Win for the ESECPN narrative.

I’d really like to think a 1-loss SEC is left out in lieu of an undefeated power 5 conference champion.

I think things get extra interesting because I think Clemson ultimately drops a sleeper game and Oregon formulates a strong argument as a one loss conference champion.

The amount of people saying "FINALLY" in response to the coach yanking the facemask and screaming at the QB is concerning. A few others hoping he'd go further. Not sure what the fuck that even means. Passion and anger is one thing, but you shouldn't treat people, especially subordinates, like that. Can't imagine those same aholes applauding Kelly when he goes purple.

If you remove the anomaly of the leather helmet historical powers of Yale, Harvard, Penn and Princeton from the list, Tennessee would be in the top ten all time win programs.

I'm glad they suck, and hope it continues until my unborn grandchildren die of old age, but it's a thing.

Minnesota has 6 AP national championships.
Tennessee has two.

I thought LSU would probably rip Bama apart before Tua went down. Now? It’s a done deal.

Mr. Burrow is coming for that ass, Saban. Nothing you can do but tuck your head and kiss it goodbye. I expect you to see Joe with like, a set of giant eagles wings, singing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd... and I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk.
