Devonta Smith WR for Bama suspended for first half of the game this wknd by Saban for throwing a punch in the AM game.

Should help us w/ covering Jeudy.

 

[Devo182]

TooToo also out

Yeah but but Bama is down some linebackers as well

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Bye Bye Cards.

Game thread going up tomorrow @nicksjuzunk ? Need to know where he hold the edges in this one.

Should be tomorrow, yes. Spoiler alert... I’ll let you in on our edges below.

In 1996 (part of the "glory days"), we entered the season ranked #2 in the country, behind Nebraska; with the greatest QB to ever strap on a helmet. We averaged almost 40 pts a game that year, and had future NFL players all over the field.

We entered the Memphis game ranked #6 in the country, losing to Florida earlier in the year, by a touchdown. Memphis won 4 games that season...let me repeat that again, Memphis won 4 games in 1996: Missouri (not the Missouri of today), Tulane, Cincinnati, and us...the #6 ranked team in the country...a team that was 7 and 1 coming in, and still in the thick of the National Championship picture...and, they held us to only 17 points.

That loss kept us from finishing in the Top 5. Again, I reiterate, Memphis won 4 games that year...they were Georgia State in those days; and beat a UT team that was far away from coming off a 4 and 8, 5 and 7 back to back seasons. When we lost to Memphis in '96, we were one of the top 5 programs in the country, with the best player in school history...Memphis won 4 games...Missouri, Tulane, Cincinnati, and us. Georgia St. is not even in the same zip code as that loss.

Btw, the LSU loss in the '01 SEC Championship, is the only other loss that I will even consider may be worse than the Memphis game. In fact, it's probably worse, considering we still haven't truly recovered from it.

It's been mentioned, but the 1990 Bama game is the most painful to me

I was stopping by to post the same. One of the worst post-season series performances ever.

My wife started stocking Halloween candy in the house. If you need me I’ll be running sprints outside for a little while.

Cards played like dog I mean bird doo doo.

 

[engineerVOL]

Cards were pretty pathetic but I don’t know that the Braves would have fared much better. They went ice cold at the plate.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Good thread on VQ about the 89 team. Got me thinking back to the old goal line plays we would run with Webb, Garner, and others from under center and all the RB had to do was dive over and break the plane.

Why is that not a thing like it used to be? Was the blocking required too dangerous (I imagine some type of cut blocking would be best here)? Or was it just not as effective as I remember it being as a child?

I began missing it long ago. Always scored

SIAP



And

 

[Devo182]

Curious what coverage we played the most vs UGA.

 

[Devo182]

Rams goin all out to win immediately. Ballllsy move.

Wonder what Jags fans think

 

[engineerVOL]

Rams goin all out to win immediately. Ballllsy move giving up so much

No first round picks for 5 straight years

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

SIAP



And

Figured Tannehill would be starting eventually. Not sure if it was all MM's fault...Oline has way under performed. Could be the OC, too? Red gardless z change had to be made. Won't matter though, Chargers own Titans.

They threw the ball 51 times. I was shocked at first but saw how many rushing attempts they had too.

Georgia ran 94 plays to South Carolina’s 68.

Wow.

 

[SugarCC]

Before the season, yes. Don't hear that anymore

Then you're not listening.

Oh, trust me, thinking about that game still makes me want to puke.

Lol. I was just thinking it wasn't a good idea to buy the candy that I like two weeks before Halloween.

Looking more likely that there will be heavy thunderstorms all game Saturday night....slick ball and field can only help us

Delays. Game goes several hours into Sunday morning. Sleep discipline will be the deciding factor.

 

[Volsdeep4]

And, to think, some want Will Friend gone.

Still want him gone. You don’t see the improvements until you hear that CJC is taking control.

 

[Catbone]

Still want him gone. You don’t see the improvements until you hear that CJC is taking control.

Definitely possible reason for the improvement good point
