I love the Bama fans jacked up over that hit lol Sam got right back up and didn’t seem bothered.

Completely disagree.

He was very clearly rattled, Kiffin even mentioned it in his presser. Said he took a huge shot and then misses the read/throw on the next play “after a big hit like that”.


I actually think that was the biggest play of the game. I think no way we should have gone for it right there without knowing 100% that he isn’t concussed. If you don’t want to punt then you HAVE to call a timeout and make sure he is ok or at least give him a second to catch his breath and recalibrate.


You’re down 4 with 13 minutes to play near midfield you have to get that 4th down call right or just punt and pin them deep.

Absolutely no question about this. Dude is a warrior.


It’s very similar to JD’s 2022 when he took a lot of criticism on everything he was doing wrong costing us games.

But it was obvious to me and many others he was the only reason we were even in position to win games to begin with. He was clearly our best player and the engine of everything we were doing, and it’s clear to me that Sam is as well.


If he stays I fully expect a similar jump in year 2 when both his and the rest of the offense works out the kinks.

I really hope we get to see it, especially if the defense doesn’t have a drop off like 2023 did, which I really don’t expect.
