A&M vs Bama

First congrats to the Bama players and coaches on the big win vs A&M on Saturday.     It was a very good performance against a quality team. 

OFFFENSE:  The Bama offense had 481 yards of total offense.  This is broken down into 164 yards passing and 287 yards rushing.  They had 7 running plays of 10+ yards and 6 pass plays for 10+ yards.  As far as negatives, Bama only had 1 three and out.  They also had 3 sacks, 12 tackles for losses, 1 fumble which wasn’t loss, and 2 interceptions.  They got into the red zone 5 times.  Here they scored 2 field goals and 2 touchdowns and had one missed field goal.  They could have put this game away early with by putting the ball in the end zone early.  Bama also scored one time from outside the red zone.  You could say Bama possibly left numerous points on the field because of not putting the ball in the end zone as well as the missed field goal.

QB:  Even though Hurts threw 2 interceptions I thought he played well.  Again, he made big plays with his legs.  The long touchdown run was a scramble and made people miss and set up his blocks with the run.   I thought he threw the ball better in this game.  His did miss some passes but they were not underthrown as much or off target as much.  Again, if this part of his game improves he will be even more of a weapon.

RB:  They ran hard and made tough yardage.  I also noticed they did a pretty good job pass blocking.  I honestly think Bama has 3 legitimate running backs.

Rec:  Howard had a pretty big day.  They did a good job blocking downfield and allowed the running backs to gain extra yards. 

OL:   Even with the negative plays I think they played well.  Some of the negative plays were outside the box where the OL wasn’t involved.  The sacks were more coverage sacks as opposed to missed blocks.  I thought they sustained their blocks and got to the second level several times.  They opened holes for the running backs to get thru.

Defense:  The defense played well.  They gave up 278 total yard which included 164 passing and 114 rushing.  If the stat I saw was correct A&M had 150 yards at half time, much which came on their last drive before half time.  This means they were held to 128 yards the second half.  As for negative plays, they had 5 sacks, 11 tackles for losses, caused 2 fumble and had an interception.  Again, the defense scored as one of the fumbles was returned for a touchdown.   Bama’s defense had 2 three and outs.  As far as plays of 10+ yards there were 8 runs and 7 passes.  The Bama defense made Knight’s day very uncomfortable in the pocket.  I didn’t count, but he was hurried or flushed several times.  I have A&M getting into the red zone once and they scored a touchdown.  A major contribution to this was when the defense lost contain on a scramble and allowed Knight to run 27 yards right before half time.  The other touchdown came from outside the red zone.  I will say that A&M got away with a chop block on the Bama player who was blitzing. 

DL:    They played very well except for a few times they lost contain.  I say they played a good game because of all the pressure they put on Knight.

LB:  This is a solid group.  Every week they play well.  This was another game plan where they had to be ready for the run pass options. 

DB:  I thought they played well again.  There were very many throws that weren’t contested.  Sometimes the QB puts the ball in the correct place.  I did see, I think it was Averett, going for the ball on a taller rec where he should have been going for the arm.  I also think the A&M’s players foot came down on the line and the catch should have been negated.  I thought Jones played pretty well as it looked like Bama played with 6 defensive backs a lot of the day.

Special Teams:    Another missed field goal.  This one was very makeable.  Most of the special teams were good.  There was good coverage on the kickoffs except for one but it wasn’t a huge return. 

Penalties:   Bama had 7 penalties for 44 yards.  The biggest one was declined because the offense continued to play when they caught Bama offsides.   The D line stopped instead of continuing the play which allowed for a 33 yard completion.
 
Finally:  Bama continues to improve and played thru and extremely tough stretch.  However there season is not finished.  They still have two extremely tough opponents coming up with LSU and Auburn.  Both seemed to have turned their seasons around.  There is still work to be done on both sides of the ball.  Also, you now have to find a replacement for Jackson.

Good stuff, coach!  Thanks.  Re: three running backs.  We haven't seen much of him lately but I thought Emmons looked good early in the season so, maybe 4 backs?  Any idea what the problem is with Griffith and field goals?  ROLL TIDE!!!

I agree with you about Emmons.  Half the time it looks like alignment problems or not following thru.

Coach, thanks for great comments.  One question:  Did you think aTm was playing a little dirty?  I mean chop blocks, the PI call where the guy really went after JH's face mask, several non-PI calls where the aTm guy was holding our rec's jersey, and just general in-your-face kind of attitude (which may be OK at times.)

I was surprised at them.

BTW...on JA's highlight sack...he said he knew a chop block was coming and went airborne to get over it.

The chop block on the TD pass I don't think was intentional.  The d lineman beat the o lineman and reached back to get him as the back was coming to cut him.  I don't think it was a chop block on Allen on the sack just a cut block by the running back.  As far as the facemask on JH this is seen many times in games as d linemen go up to block the pass and their hands come down on the facemask.  There are questionable calls that can go either way.  As far as flat out dirty play, in my opinion, no.

Well done hscoach. Thanks as always for the insight that pretty much spells out any questions. I do have a couple thought now, who do you think will replace at Returner Specialist? Also, will Hootie be the next guy up in Eddie's place at DB and can he do the job? RTR!

I don't know for sure, but Laurence Jones is listed on the depth chart behind, him.  Hootie Jones I guess could be a possibility.  As far as return they have used  Diggs and Marks.

I thought Cam Robinson did a great job handling Miles Garret.  I was a little concerned about that matchup considering how Cam was a little off early in the year.  Jonah Williams did a great job on the other side too.

I agree. I thought the OL played well especially with the challenge they posed with Garrett and Hall.

The one thing I noticed about both of these guys was, they looked tired toward the end of the game. I think they got hit so much they finally run out of the high pitch fever they had at the beginning of the game. Did yall notice any of that? RTR!

What happened to us in the red zone in the 1st half?  We need to get better there before the playoffs.

Bama did run 83 pays yesterday and the announcers did talk about Garrett maybe not being in game shape because of his injury.  It is possible he wasn't quiet 100%.

I don't know if they gave some different looks or just overplayed the run and expected the rush to get to Hurts.  I do know there was one where they probably should have been a timeout call, but went ahead and ran the play anyway.  They were ready for the Hurts runs in the red zone.

For some reason I have come to expect the Hurts runs in the Red Zone. We've been doing it all year and now you can just about tell when it is coming. We are going to have to break that monotony of the play calling. RTR!
