we appeared to play their receivers soft, was that part of the game plan? was their qb that good on his passing?

I was wondering the same. Cyrus Jones had his moments, as did Landon, but Sylve just get annihilated out there today.

He was in position on every play, he just didn't play the ball well.

PLUS:

Yeldon
O-Line, except #72 (2 holds and 1 movement)
Cooper
Griffin, FG Kicker
Henry


MINUS:

Foster
Ragland
Slyve
Pass Rush


 2 + 2 = 4

Maybe the minus column will get corrected when Jackson and DePriest are back.



I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, there was one play where had he turned around he might have had a play on the ball. Instead, he kind of half contested the play face-to-face with the WR, and the received went up and got it. It was kind of an awkward play, because I think BS was trying to get turned around at the last second, but he turned his body the wrong way.

Need to add Simms to the minus list, he dances around too much, does not have a deep ball,(even the wide open drop by Jones was under thrown) locks in on a receiver and didn't appear to check for an open receiver, forces too many passes. I was surprised that he wasn't intercepted more.

I think there were about 3 plays where Sylve had his back to the QB and the receiver went up and got the ball.

Our kicking game was outstanding. Not much else was. We should have hung at least 50 on them, but kept shooting ourselves in the foot. Sylve reminded me a lot of Belue; not bad coverage, but never looked for the ball and got beat repeatedly.

Credit to the receivers for WVU. Not only did they run great routes, the other receivers beat our butts with the blocking to spring them in the open. Our blocking on the same types of plays were not nearly as good. Christion Jones probably played the worst game I've ever seen him play with the dropped passes and poor blocking.

Special teams played well except for the one glaring mistake that resulted in a WV TD. We seem to always have that one letdown that hurts us.

I was really hoping to see Coker get some playing time, but Sims did not do a bad job. One int and a few terrible throws were overshadowed by his elusiveness and his ability to find the open receiver. What surprised me was that he never once tried the read option or a screen pass the entire game. The offensive game plan was very predictable.

TJ and King Henry both played a great game. They gained chunks of yards the whole game with no fumbles. We will need more of that in the future from both of them. I was a little surprised Drake didn't get more PT.

Cooper was superb. He made catch after catch, and play after play. He is, indeed, a superstar. DeAndrew made a couple of great plays before getting injured. Looked like a shoulder injury. I hope it's not bad, we can ill afford to lose him. He came up huge on that great play for the first down on the 8 yd line. I was also surprised Sims didn't go downfield any more than he did. OJ Howard was non-existent. Bummer!

I was very disappointed in the D line the first half of the game. They played much better the second half, but that improved pass rush we've all been expecting, was not there except for a couple of plays in the 2nd half. They were huge plays, but we need to see more of that.

Reuben Foster looked completely lost in the first half, but gained some legs in the 2nd half, with a couple of good plays. He is going to be very good, but will need experience.

The offensive line was a bit anemic on several plays in the first half, but looked good, for the most part, in the second half. Leon Brown's penalties were momentum killers. He will need to do a better job of technique to eliminate the holding.

All in all, with the youth of this team, this may be all that can be expected at this point. My greatest concern is the secondary. If WVU doesn't drop the easy passes that they did, this could have been a much tighter game, or worse. Our secondary was exposed and looks very much like our weakest link. Let's hope experience improves that situation.

Having said all that, a win is a win and Bama prevailed. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

Tough call. I had him in the so-so category with Christian Jones. I don't see Sims as the starting QB all year, though.

Blake Sims played a lot better than I expected, much better than last year or ADay.  He was in control of the offense, made good decisions (except the INT), and got out of trouble.  He's no AJ, probably never will be, but apparently he is Bama's best option at present.  I'd like to see Coker get some playing time in the next few games, let him develop, because we may need him down the road. 

I thought Kiffin called a good game.

We lost signal for some of the game, DTV and storms in N. AL.  It happened a few times -- I nearly walked to my mother-in-law's house to watch the game on cable.   Embarrassed

No, I had to go check on a buddy.  All's well.

Hey, Bama won without me.  Who'd thunk it?
