2023 Bowl Games Discussion

I wouldn't be surprised if Saban rips into their asses and things improve

I recall one playoff game where that didn't work.

Bama defense looks a little confused. They are hesitating. Reminds me of Auburn game. Let’s see if bama can fix it.

Not when you factor in all the holding their OL does.... and everyone blocking really

IMO, Alabama SEVERELY underestimated Michigans ability to run the ball.

Right now? This is Michigans game.

I can tell Alabama is “wtf is this shit”

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

This is a scheme issue. Bama has to adjust. Getting outsmarted right now.

right now ... they are 1 for 2 in terms of drives... yall are 1 for 2 so far.... lets see how it shakes out

Bama punted their first drive

“1 for 1“ cause the fumbled punt moved them down the field.

If you can't beat em, cheat em. They ran an entire wall of picks on that TD play. Saban needs to get in the ref's ass to watch that shit

Agree. Long way to go.

I just don’t like that Bama has been in the wrong places on defense. The design of the play has been destroying Bama, not the actually players.

Ready for a Milroe run here. Lean on the ground game, Bama

So many teams have been running that clearout to HB flat from the backfield ever since the Falcons did it vs the Pats in the superbowl.

Man coverage is more common in these downs and distances, so it's a great call.

Not Ohio State though, run a WR screen to the short side of the field instead!

 

[Captain Buckeye]

One play after..

Yep.

It’s the only gripe I have with our defense.

You can’t play with a six man box vs these guys. Ever.

But but we have an offensive genius for a HC so I’m told

That's what they need to do. Milroe has improved as a QB, and is serviceable, but still struggles as a passer (holds ball too long, indecisive). He does have a pretty strong arm though.

That isn't really the Cheez-it Bowl though. The Cheez-It Bowl was renamed the Pop Tarts Bowl.

I prefer Cheez-its though

pfffft...
