I think my favorite part of the game was Sampson’s 2nd TD run….

After the big throw to Thornton Bama’s D is standing over the ball to slow things down, but when the play gets set the OL proceeds to manhandle the DL pushing some of them into the end zone.

The OL has their problems, but when they get the chance they can maul you.

Some other thoughts:

Jermod McCoy was a HUGE addition. He looked like an early round draft pick. Was his interception on the top 10? That would have been an all time highlight if he took it for 6.

Will Brooks legend game.

Heupel will get no complaints from me again. What he's done for our program can't be overstated. I complained a lot about his coaching during/after Florida and Arkansas. He deserved some criticism but I won't be overly critical of him again. He's easily a top 5 coach in the nation. We're extremely blessed to have him.

SEC officiating can be quite bad and there's no better example than us getting flagged for offsides for flinching/popping up on defense but not crossing the line. Did the officials really think that we crossed the LOS or do they just not know the rules are different for offsides and a false start? It seemed like the latter.

Missouri at Alabama

Who do we want to lose here?

I say Missouri because they have an easier schedule and still only have one sec loss.

Plus it would make our strength of schedule/win over Bama look better.

But I wouldn’t shed a tear if Alabama got more dirt thrown on them.

We want Missouri to lose. They don’t have anyone left on their schedule and could go 11-1. We get the tie breaker over Bama if we both finish 10-2. Also helps our strength is f schedule. Of course I won’t watch that game, because I am against Bama on any game I watch with them.

I know Seldon has battled injuries, and I'm really excited about him as a player. I know his fam is in here too, and I want to make this clear it is constructive criticism/question: What is going on with him as a whole? He just doesn't seem to run as hard as the other backs, and even on the kick return he seemed to be running slow (but he could just be a smooth runner, I haven't seen enough to tell).

He just looks like that. In his track videos, he looks like he's just cruising along, but he's blowing by everyone.

Agreed. But that's also almost identical to what was called against Tennessee twice against Florida when Nico left the pocket. So, it seems to be a hold if QB leaves the pocket but not if he doesn't which seems suspect.

Eh I think it just becomes more obvious of a hold because the DL is chasing a different direction and the hold jumps out.

I assure you that this staff will take Morris if they can get him. No matter what else happens. They’re not really concerned with your opinion. Because Morris is really good.

It's just Trippie and Jackcrevol looking desperately for something negative to say in the immediate wake of our huge Bama win.
