I am rewatching the Bama game.

So far a few observations:

1.) TM7 had a much bigger half than Bama thinks. Jumped to prevent AJ from throwing causing the sack. He should get credit for the sack. Also saved a TD on the blown coverage on TR. Made 2 solid tackles preventing more yardage...specifically the big TE.

2.) JL first pick was a bad snap and he threw to a spot. He never really got to see the play develop. Bad throw but not entirely his fault. He threw some nice passes then seemed in a daze after the pick.

3.) Both team have had some penalties kill drives. We had some that helped Bama extend drives big.

4.) We blocked a kick. Our punter is great.

5.) Bama's kicker isn't as bad as I thought. We just forced him to kick from extreme distances.

6.) Ford's burst of speed is amazing against Bama. We need more Blue and Ford off tackle against Bama.

7.) JJ's accuracy was way off. I hope he gets 90% w the first team in practice. He was really only effective in the option. His throw to RS should have been a TD if he had better accuracy.

8.) To the last line on point # 7...we missed a huge opp to score a TD to end the half. Better pass or more time and we score a TD.

I'm holding out hope that if he gets all of the reps with starters then he will have better timing and accuracy.

Also, I think Hilliard and Ware will be key to busting up the middle but we can wear them down by running the big LB's with Ford and Blue's speed.

Bama missed two open TD passes, not counting the Maze/INT/Reid.

we were lucky.

LSU better be able to drive for 80 yards a couple of times, because I expect that TR & co. will do exactly that.

Wasn't that bad. Around mid-thigh. He just overreacted.

JJ has been money in bowl games so there's hope for him to come out and play a great game.

That was Saban getting cute and outsmarting himself. At least twice he opted for the FG attempt when a well-placed punt would've pinned us deep.

Gotta know your kicker's limitations.

Obviously you don't remember the awful performance by JJ against Penn State in the Cap One bowl.

Even dumber to pick it up and force it, but sense he can't run, he can't throw it away

On a field that had just seen a torrential downpour and was a sewer.

His two bowl performances in a dome/indoor stadium have been lights out.

60%cr is way off?
LSU's team 52.9%cr was drug down by Lee actually.

You do realize 50% of the top 10 rated NFL QBs complete at very near 60% rate?
JJ also threw 75% vs Gumps in 2010.

I think you need to research how well other QBs performed vs UA,
The highest % was Vandy at 62.5%, UF was 60.9%, Hogs 60% and after that only AU and LSU were above 50%.

This...Bama drove the ball...sure a few penalties helped..but I'm not underestimating tr's ability....jj is going to have be accurate to win this game...Lee didn't look bad until the picks..he hit a few good passes...I look for saban to take away the option game..he said they had missed assignments
