I thought for sure Ohio State would beat them but they didn’t so IU worries me. I still think we’ll win.
Indiana is no doubt better on paper but I don’t know if they’re more talented as far as comparing who has the better athletes and more future NFL players (maybe I’m wrong, I haven’t taken the time to research it).

Very insightful analysis.
I don’t disagree. But the layoff could hurt Indiana (or not).

Also, love Bama or hate them, because of the fairly tough schedule Indiana is not going to scare Bama.

Early Indiana vs Bama predictions?

I hope we crush them but it will likely be very close.

Fans of other teams - thoughts?

It does help that we are slowly getting healthy.
Check this out, from one of their boards

“It all comes down to the jimmy and joes, and I don’t see many players on Alabama that would start over our guys. On the offensive side of the ball, not a single one.

We are the big bad bully on the block now. I want IU to cave Alabama in to where DeBoer might seriously get canned, and to the point where Kirk “SEC” can pose the question of if Alabama even belonged on the field as the bubble team” - end

Lol.
Indiana is having a great year, no doubt - but they are anything but the “bully” on the block. They will never be what we were with Saban (which I reference because we were in fact the bullies on the block for over several years).

We got the last laugh in

Oklahoma celebrated and all after that first victory. We went to their house (where our offense and team rather looked soft and scored only 3 last year) and stole the show. They got us in the regular season but we just ended theirs.

What about that “OU problem” again?

RTR
You’re automatically assuming they will get their asses kicked. Ohio State has to get ahead big first, which may not happen.

I wonder if Grubb is just going through the motions and doesn’t really want to be in Tuscaloosa

0-2 and hopefully that changes in two weeks.

Somehow they have matched up really well with us the last few matches (except in 2018).

Even in the 2014 Sugar Bowl (2013 season), OU as a Big 12 team had the personnel on O and D to give us fits. Their finesse (but still somewhat physical OL) neutralized our defensive front.

I don’t know. I hope we see improvement somehow. I think the team needs to get healthy. And DeBoer has to be willing to yank Ty Simpson (should have been done already) if the poor play continues. All I want is to beat OU.

Imagine a playoff run of - OU (rematch), Indiana (#1 team and a winter trip to the Midwest), Oregon (long-awaited match, stark contrast in fans, geography, styles) and then a third game with Georgia.

Anyway - no, I do not expect the offense to be much better in two weeks than what we’ve seen the last 5 week.

The rematch is on!

I know the offense has regressed, we just lost to Georgia and now we’re at 3 losses.

But we’re in the playoffs and get a rematch that I, as a fan, wanted so bad! I know most of you don’t care, but I wanted us to get revenge on them so bad! I predicted we would likely get them in the playoffs but that was shot down!

We get revenge on OU on their turf we then get a shot at the No.1 team in the country!

JMU and Tulane have no business in the playoffs.

I agree. He was awful with the fans too.
If you’re interested in grip training I can give great ideas for add-ons
Play them again, win and then revisit all the threads started tonight.

Let’s see you do better. This team has overachieved anyway.

Who cares? It’s a popularity contest now.

It’s championship or bust.

That “garbage” helped us navigate a gauntlet with teams coming off BYEs (including OU) and 8 straight wins.

Thank God you don’t get to choose team personnel.
