295 yards passing. Dude threw some darts. 3rd and 15 to waddle down the sideline. Pass to the te for 6 was solid. All those crossing routes etc. not too bad
Considering the noise and environment and our secondary I’d say he did pretty good.

What about that 44 yard scramble right up the gut for a td, dude is a baller and as much as I hate to give Alabama credit he's awesome... He's not even 100% healthy and put up a shite ton of yards on us... That screen they ran in the 3rd was a thing of beauty perfect wish we could run screens,i haven't seen us do a successful onec in ages

Must be gumps in here downvoting this statement because it is an absolute fact.

I know you’re in here reading this, gumps and I know math is hard so stay focused here.

If we had any offense that was moving the ball, we would have had more time of possession. If we had more time of possession, Bama has less time of possession. If Bama has less time of possession, they have less opportunities to score because they have less possession of the ball.

Let me break that down into terms you can understand.
You and your brother have an hour (60 minutes) to get some “lovin” from your sister.
If your brother says you can have 20 minutes in the outhouse out back with your sister, then he is going to take 40 minutes with her in the outhouse, he has more time to score with her (I.e. put his dick in her). Now, if you say “frick him, I’m taking 35 minutes with her”, you are taking more time with her and thus taking time away from her that was previously allocated to your brother. Now your brother only has 25 minutes to get some “lovin” from her.

It doesn’t matter if YOU still don’t get the “lovin” from your sister. All that matters here is that you allowed LESS time for your brother to get the “lovin”.

Congrats. You just learned simple math. You might be able to pass 2nd grade now.

I didn't think he played that great either. That WR corps is more talented than him IMO

A stellar OL can make an average QB and a 3 star RB look great.
Coach O nailed it - until we fix that we won't compete with them.

No doubt about that. I'm just saying he's not as incredible as he was made out to be.




He's pretty damn incredible. Our defense just happens to be really really good

Or at least Arkansas's offense. In fact LSU would have won.




Well Arkansas Offense and Devin White for the whole game means win. However as soon as we are up 7 O will play conservatively.

I'm not "amazed" by him.

I was amazed with Cam Newton.... not as great a passer, but a more amazing quarterback.

Cam was obviously phenomenal. It's a little tough to compare because Bama's overall team is so great, but Tua was pretty damn impressive. He accounted for 339 yards and 3 TDs against us as a sophomore playing in a raucous Tiger Stadium. Cam didn't even account for that many yards by himself when he played us at Auburn.

We destroyed previous QB Heisman winners like Lamar Jackson and Johnny Football, so you know Tua is legit.

We made him look human, which I was confident we could do. His QB rating was by far the lowest of the season.

He’s still awesome though.

Naaah.... not really.

Tua missed on a good number of passes I thought should have been better thrown from somebody who entered the game considered "incredible".

Well, we beat Auburn last year and Auburn beat Bama by 12 points. I guess Auburn wasn't supposed to compete with them, but they beat them handily.

There was a play where he was being chased out of bounds, facing the sideline to his left, threw it across his body to his right, to a well covered player for a completion for a first down. I’ve never seen that in my life. The scary thing is he will only get better.

Not every QB has a WR who bail him with an amazing catch either.

He’s not that great. all of Alabama Quarter backs looks great because of Alabama O-Line.

Have you ever watched an Alabama game in your life? Undoubtably not if you think all their QBs have been great!
