Seriously, I could not believe how much bigger all of their guys looked as compared to ours. They've got MEN on that football team. It's almost ridiculous how big and strong all of their players are compared to our boys.
Anyway, I just want to come out and say that Alabama had one of its better offensive showings of the year AFTER CAPPS WENT OUT WITH AN INJURY. JP looked calmer because he was getting more protection. Stabler and Capps both did not play this game.
" The offense appeared more wide-open than it had previously, though players pointed to better execution as the reason.
"We had no new protection and no new schemes," Wilson said. "I think the guys blocked a lot better. They came out with fire in their eyes."
Does this seem like a coincidence? Does this mean that BETTER PLAYERS have been RIDING THE BENCH in favor of the two jackasses, BJ Stabler and Chris Capps? Absolutely it does, and I hope that Shula and Rader feel like idiots this morning. And if they couldn't see the difference last night, then I don't even know where to begin except for making a call to the movers and making sure a truck is waiting for Coach whenever he gets home.
It's performances like last night that really get you pissed off. LSU is a DAMN good football team, especially when they're on a roll, and we played well enough to hang with them. A couple of red zone turnovers and a couple of missed field goals spelled our doom, but for the most part we played well enough to win in Baton Rouge against the nation's number 1 ranked defense. So explain what happened in Tuscaloosa last weekend against the nation's number 92 ranked defense.
Oh well, here's hoping Keith Brown is doing ok. That play looked like it could be a break, but I seriously hope not. Probably a high ankle sprain. I'm hoping the coaches just put him right into a hot tub after the game and let the ankle soak overnight, cause we could REALLY use him this week against Auburn.
This does NOT look good.
Alas, they played better, and a lot of that has to do with the offensive line. Different personnel does mean different results. Wasn't it Einstein that said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results?"
Alas, while the rest of the country is watching the Buckeyes and the Wolverines next Saturday, I'll be watching the Iron Bowl. :-) That's right...finally it's IRON BOWL WEEK!
