Alabama doesn't have much of a running attack without Jam Miller


Clearly, you have not watched Alabama this season. Alabama only has a rushing attack without Jam Miller.

I actually like Alabama and Miami next week



If the B1G didn’t have any teams make the final four, it would be comedy gold.


This needs another update…
The higher they climb the harder they crash.
SEC is 1-0

Big XII is 0-2
quote:

On Bernard’s contested catch, both players hands were on the ball as Bernard was making his “football move”, therefore he never “established control” as it was contested all the way through it coming out.


You’re blind or just intentionally obtuse. He caught the ball establishing the catch and coming down with the ball behind the defender’s back. The defender never got a hand on the ball until both feet came down and Bernard started turning. If the ball would’ve come out at that point it would be a catch and fumble. They continue fighting for the ball to the ground. No different from a linebacker trying to strip a running back on a dive up the middle. Bernard’s back hits the ground, and the ball pops out.

On the FG, the camera angle wasn’t exactly underneath, so it by itself isn’t the evidence you need, but it provided the basis for a fair review to reassess whether the ball did entirely pass within the uprights. And it really surprises me there wasn’t more dissection from the media (as stated the officials can’t review it as it was above the uprights). So it appeared to be a prime opportunity for officials putting their hand on the scale, and I’m surprised therefore no one is questioning the call.



Again, you’re subscribing to a non-existent narrative. The refs followed the rules, same as when the one ref threw the 15 yard penalty flag because he ran into the bench area and lightly bumped a grad assistant 50 yards away from the play. The rules are the rules.
On the catch. Germie went over his back caught it clean. Came down got two feet down establishing him as a runner with possession. He then went to the ground before the ball came out. It was a catch, a tackle, and then the ball came out.

They made it quite clear on the broadcast that if a ball is kicked over the upright the entirety of the ball must be inside to be considered successful attempt. Many years ago in a meaningless bowl game it screwed Bama against Iowa St and Seneca Wallace. It’s how the rule is written.

You’re just salty that Bama won again. I do give you props for complaining about something other than the traditional refrain of holding calls.
Went to the Rose Bowl in ‘09, Sugar Bowl in ‘11, and Orange Bowl in ‘12 (I guess technically January of 2010, 2012, and 2013)
My only time visiting Norman was last year for the Bama game. Even at its loudest, it was nothing to what I’ve heard at Jordan-Hare, Death Valley, or Neyland. I’d say it’s comparable in noise to Bryant-Denny or Reynolds years ago when Arkansas was good.
Does this being fake change the data about 1 in 5 kids in the US goes hungry?

Because I would imagine the number of state invoices being paid would give the number of kids needing food assistance, and the birth records would provide the number of actual kids. If the first list is being made up out of thin air, then I believe that statistic that is constantly provided for how our country is failing its children may not be quite as bad.
It seemed like where he put it all together for the mid season run was when he was pulled for the two planned drives. Why can’t we just do that again? Let him get a different view of what the defense is doing, and then use that as extra information to help pre snap reads
It’d certainly be up there with Kim Kardashian.

With our recent history, I would’ve preferred going to College Station

It Bama makes it (and I’m not saying they should be), Booger McFarland is going to have an all-time on air meltdown.


As will LSU fans on here

There's no reason to think we will win that game.


A&M Struggled against the best competition they faced. Their fans have battered Aggie syndrome. Couple the threat of their best season in forever ending with a rivalry loss and a first-round bounce as a home favorite would likely have them tight. I think Reed could throw picks like the first half of the South Carolina game, and maybe Ty could use it as a get right game.

Will it happen when they have an extra week of rest on us? Probably not, but I see a way that we could go in there and get a W.

Unless that gives the committee an incentive to put Miami in over Bama so the ACC doesn't get left out


How could you justify a 3rd place conference team getting in, who didn’t even make the championship game over that conference’s champion?
quote:

Was pushed out by defender


Even when forced out you have to immediately come back into the field of play, advancing with three steps all landing in the white is not immediate.
Since when can you take three steps out of bounds and still be an eligible receiver?
quote:

If you can’t penalize a team for losing a conference championship, what's to stop a team from just saying "We forfeit. See you in the playoffs."?


If Bama does that this year then they’d be in the playoffs without question. Just say “our RBs, LBs, and D line are just a little banged up, but we’ll be good in two weeks.”
