Game notes: UT vs Bama

[Chechem]

Good job coach. I agree with some of the posters about dropped passes and fumbles, Bama has been lucky so far that they weren't playing catch up football when these things happen, but if it continues it's gonna bite them in the rear end.

It didn't take long to see how valuable Sunseri Cade Foster was to the kicking teams.

It was a good win though, proud of them.

Just my opinion.

Coach, are you seeing our OL doing a better job getting to the second level and blocking on LBs? I do think that as a unit the OL has improved more than any other. We are not having near the initial contact on our RBs behind the LOS. I have also seen better job done of scraping off initial blocks to allow RBs to get 3-4 yds before contact. What are you seeing?

OK hscoach, do you have an early scouting report on LSU?

Only concern i have is the short throws like they did to us last year. seemed no matter what we could not stop that. they have some big RB's but Bama is pretty good against the run and their OL is not as good as last year.

just my two cent....yall fell free to tell me im wrong

I don't have an early scouting report.  I have seen them play and they seem to attack downfield a little more.  They have 2 dominant recs and good running backs.  I think they have had some injuries in the OL.  Hopefully, Mett has lost a little confidence with the int's he has thrown lately.

I have seen them getting to the second level better at times.  I also take in consideration who they have been playing  The combo block are better, but I think they come off too soon at times.  Also, especially at TE, I would like to see them, as well as others, sustain their blocks longer.  I do agree the RBs are not getting hit in the backfield as often.  Also, is it just me or does it seem that we are running just as much right as we do left?

Yes I have noticed it, although when they have a 3rd and 1 or 2 they go to their bread and butter, the left side. I am glad they are trying to balance the running to both sides.  I do know that having the left side in defenders minds opens up the play pass to the right, as seen when Fowler scored at the end on A&M. Also, the run game in General has really opened up the play pass and over pass game. Guess we needed to be a little patient to give the OL time to come together.

Interesting comments from Coach Saban on the corners.

Coach, your thoughts?

Also, can Jai Miller redshirt?  I don't think he's palyed a down yet.

I can see where he is coming from.  First, these young men were probably better than almost everyone they played against.  Some players have a hard time realizing this changes when they get to the next level.  Also, I think it is great that they have to fight for a spot/playing time each week.  I use to give our rec's/qb written test on formations and routes against coverages.  They would understand where they were going and others and understand why.  I know they are getting this in film studies, maybe some should take it a little more serious if they want to be on the field.

 Just watching the game again and the offensive PI call on Cooper was not as bad as what Mike Evans did to catch the ball that set up A&M last TD.

Cooper definitely extended his arm to gain space, but both players were making contact while the ball was in the air.

Last night's South Florida-Houston game had a worse call for offensive pass interference.  The WR hardly extended his arm; little contact at all.  A TD was called back.  THAT call probably cost USF the upset.
