November 16, 20178 yr Author You have a good grasp on OSU football, but I follow Bama football 24hrs. Everybody in the program knows that our offensive line is not good at this point. Has nothing to do with injuries; we just mis-evaluated some kids and others just haven't panned out just yet. Which is why we can't run the ball consistently I try to read up on Bama when I can, but it's hard to find enough rational people in that part of the country to admit Bama has flaws.
November 16, 20178 yr Nick Saban doesn't think anyone on his team has played well the last few weeks. That's how he is. The offense is averaging more yards per play than last year which is why I disagree that they suck. I do worry about how long Pierschbacher will be hampered. We can't pass block....we can't run block. Ridley can beat anyone one on one and he is open a lot down the field....doesn't matter because we don't pass block well enough to hit the deep throws. Harris and Scarborough can't get in a rhythm in the running game because we are getting hit in the backfield on run plays. Piersbacher is playing just ok but he is hurt, Jonah Williams is playing well but he is a year away, Bozeman is playing just ok...Cotton and Womack couldn't block me at this point. Everyone even the offensive line admits that they aren't playing well.

We do; this might be the worst team Bama has had since the 2010 team. The dline is overrated at this point and our oline....well you know how I feel about that.

The D line I agree on. All I heard all year was how great they are at run stopping, then they play 2 teams who can actually the run the ball and get exposed. They don't have the same pass rush they've gotten in years past either.

You're watching a different team than I am.
November 16, 20178 yr Author @dognation2 no need to start a new thread on this because I just have one question, but how are people feeling about the sub par recruiting class Bama has so far this year? They'll sign a bunch of players late so they'll end up in the top 5 most likely in the rankings. Are people curious what's up down there?
November 16, 20178 yr Author With all that happening, please explain why their yards per play average is up from last year, both running and passing. You're watching a different team than I am. They haven't played anyone until 2 weeks ago.
November 16, 20178 yr With all that happening, please explain why their yards per play average is up from last year, both running and passing. You're watching a different team than I am. Because we loaded up on cupcakes on the front end of the schedule. MSU and LSU don't even had good rushing defenses and we couldn't run the ball consistently against them. Womack and Williams are having nightmares about Arden Keys late at night.
November 16, 20178 yr They haven't played anyone until 2 weeks ago. Could be but their schedule is comparable to last year so the stats still should be off.

Luge's is saying that we are gonna surge at the end but the problem is we usually do well in Miami and Georgia. Richt and Kirby Smart have kinda took our shine in those two areas. We just had an olineman decommit. Also a lot people don't think Saban is gonna do 4 more years so that might be a factor as well. Most fans are biting their nails....nervous but not yet panicking.
November 16, 20178 yr Could be but their schedule is comparable to last year so the stats still should be off. UT, Vandy, Ole Miss and Arkansas are horrible this year.....they all were decent teams last year. (except Vandy)
