Bama quick off the snap

I counted like 8 of those snaps. I couldn’t figure out if they were a sec before the snap or our online was slow getting to them.

They had our snap count DOWN. Especially Jennings, they got such good jumps that it made them look off sides but they never actually were

they don't have a tell on us they're just quick as frick and playing at home so the refs are letting it go. all you can do is know they're coming early and use that against them, g d what an asskicking the O line laid down on those Bama goons

Sometimes I don't think the hurry up helps. they see us hurrying up so they know as soon as we get to the line we are going to snap it so they're ready right then. It literally f****** almost never works

I really think they found a quirk that the center uses just before he snaps. He moves his head, wiggles his fingers, dips his knees. There is a tell in there for them to be that quick

But I think one area of the game not mentioned enough is the improved play of both the offensive and defensive lines.

I actually thought Bama whipped us at the point of attack quite often and got pretty good pressure on Borrow. The difference was this year we had a much better scheme get the ball out quickly in the passing game, CEH made people miss at an behind the line of scrimmage all day and Burrow turned some would be sacks into positive plays several times. they still did get 5 sacks I think.

On the other side the defense gave up more than it did last year and their back creased us pretty good in the second half and had some holes. So I honestly didn't see that big a leap at least in regard to line vs line against Bama. We were a bit better they were not quite as good as last year, but again, much better offensive scheme and our playmakers made plays this year.

In the past, it was mentioned quite a bit how Bama had dominated the trenches on both sides of the football. This was not the case on Saturday in Tuscaloosa.

O line played pretty good despite the 5 sacks. D line still seems to have trouble getting to the QB imo

I think they had to snap count figured but there was a few that could’ve been calling all sides to. just like to no call pass interference on Chase when the DB grab the back of the shoulder pads Which would’ve been another touchdown

Not so fast my friend. There were at least 2 times I replayed in slow motion that the Bama DE was 2 feet across the LOS. Refs blew this and Ed should have been in their ear about it. It was a tactic that worked for them and messed up our OL blocking for sure...

Maybe, the couple or three times I saw it and watched the replay, they just timed the snap perfectly. I think there is something to paying attention to Joe's handclap and the snap and maybe we didn't deviate from that. I didn't see any real offsides on these but I may be wrong. It's very possible, and in that sense, you're right in that O should have been all over the officials about it. But, if that's the case, none of the coaches in the booth noticed it to tell O?
