Sugar Bowl: Utah 31, Alabama 17 (Final)

[buckeyebri]

It doesn't seem to be a big deal yet, but Utah is really struggling with their tackling technique. They're not wrapping up at all, and it's already cost them one touchdown (Arenas).

I think it is that SEC strength......

 

[Evan]

are you kiddidng? BS pass interference call...unless he grabbed an arm that was just good defense!

After the replay I stand by my call...that was just good defense.

 

[Jake]

Utah had them 3rd and 10 and gave up a first down on a dump off to the RB.

 

[BB73]

I thought Saban might go for that - he should have. Missed FG.

 

[OCBucksFan]

Excellent, missed.

 

[3074326]

Another missed FG. Woooooooo

 

[Jake]

No good, again!

A stop is a stop.

 

[Evan]

karma...on that 3rd down the defender tripped the runner from behind, and bama misses the fieldgoal

 

[OHSportsFan]

1/3 with a 52 yarder.

the fat lady is warming up...

Really putting too much on the shoulders of their kicker - even if he has a 52-yarder and the misses are from (slightly) shorter distance.

 

[Jake]

I thought Saban might go for that

I was positive he would. Says something to me that he didn't do it, in regards to the confidence he has in his offense.

 

[Hawk Spielman]

If the Utes score here the fat lady is behind curtain 1, and awaiting her entrance...lol.

 

[rocketman]

Bad tackling or no, you gotta love Utah's intensity on defense. I really hope our D can play at that level on Monday.

I'm pouring another drink, and she should too. Still a lot of time left.
