C'mon, there's no way you really thought they were good. OSU should've mopped the field with them. They do tend to start slow and get better as the season goes on though.

Eh...each season is a new beginning. I thought Freeman would have his team ready to play, and it seemed like he did. However, he shouldn't have put all his eggs in one basket (going ballz out in week 1) and forgetting that week 2 comes next...then week 3...then week 4....
The best coaches seem to play the "long game" and their teams get better as the season progresses. It looks like ND might be going in the opposite direction (and I couldn't be happier, frankly LOL).
Can’t beat the good old boy network.
Hell, if they hit that kick or the refs hadn’t screwed them on the safety and face mask…
I forgot about the bullshit safety call
Finally something we can both agree on lol.
Bama hasn't looked good but I watched that "blown safety call" several times. They made the right call. He wasn't down and he tried to get it to the RB that was standing right at the goal line. Hell of a heads up play. Sucks for UT fans that they were so close but it is what it is.
i agree he wasn't down, I didn't watch a million replays and don't know who anybody is. The argument I was looking at was saying it should have been intentional grounding which would have been a safety for doing it in the endzone.
He shin was down before he let the ball go. I've got a great pic of it but can't post it for some reason. And I'm an Alabama Fan.
Here's a close up vid of it you can watch in slow motion. Doesn't look like he's ever down and they watched the replay from multiple angles. In order for it to be intentional grounding there would have to be no receiver in the area and there was. #2 was standing right there. It never got to him because it bounced off the defender's dome.

A potential targeting, roughing the passer or sack ended up being a Bryce Young incomplete pass.
I agree with the no call on the safety. I also think it was a good call to erase the targeting and roughing.Here's a close up vid of it you can watch in slow motion.

The officials missed some crazy calls against Bama, especially the facemask on Robinson at the 5 yard line when TX was up by 3 points. If TX gets that call (and it was obvious) it would be first and goal from the 2 yard line, not third and goal from the 5. How they missed that is beyond me.
I don't think it matters at the end of the day, though. Bama's O Line and skill position players are mediocre. They have several losses coming their way this year.
I do find it funny that they looked so bad yet only UGA jumped them (and only in one poll, not both). FFS, Bama gotta lose twice to drop I guess. To each his own. No one fears Bama this year.
Agreed (gonna have to stop doing this). Bama does not look like the juggernaut of old, which is strange because they are fully stocked with talent.
That hurts, to be fair we have a crappy game every year. I doubt...you will see Alabama play this bad again this season.
You still think we can make a bowl game? ( from the SEC shorts had me rolling). AS for the Bama Texas game i felt like the refs were pretty even on what was missed Bama may have got 1 or 2 more going their way, as the teams improve over the season "most" of the time so does the officiating.
I agree, just like the UF game last year. But...for whatever reason the recruited talent isn't paying dividends on the field for Bama (yet). Last year, if they didn't have JaMo, they would have lost a couple of games IMO. I'm wondering if they are missing on recruits they bring in or if the turn over in the coaching ranks is taking its toll at those two positions (WR, O Line). It just seems like Bama is "off."
