One thing you might feel watching Bama but not fully realize until you think about it: they don't chain 1st downs. Seemingly every 1st down comes off a 3rd down conversion. It's never get a first on 1st down, get a first after 2nd and 3. It's always having to convert 3rd and 5 all the way down the field. That's an IMPOSSIBLE way to live against good teams.

Alabama's obsession with shortening games is showing up in losses. Only 7 offensive possessions combined in the 2nd half vs UGA and UT (in spite of getting ball first vs UT). So a full game worth of football with 7 possessions. 2025 OU: Slow played with a 6.5 minute drive (42 yds) in the 4th WHILE TRAILING that resulted in no points and not enough time to get ball back 2026 UGA: Opening 1st Q drive took 7.5 mins to go 38 yards (no points). Only got 3 possessions in 2nd half. 2026 Tenn: Opening drive in 3Q took 5 mins to go 35 yards. Down 9 in 4th (next possession) took 2 mins to run 3 plays Defense stayed in prevent after that and allowed a 9 minute drive

BRANDON MILLER GOT PAID 💰 Charlotte has their guy 🔥 (via @ShamsCharania)

Further proof that as a blue blood Vitale will rubber stamp your every move. Someone like Alabama, not so much

This game is currently listed for 9 p.m. so it can be on SEC Network with 500 people there and no students. I'll be rooting for 4 games in Vegas and thus, a cancellation.

DeBoer on his confidence level in Ryan Grubb: "I think he's a great play-caller."

But Charles Bediako was the problem.

Vols defense was asking for the quick game. Shallow crossers, 10-12 yard dig routes and comebacks, hitches…Hell, how about a damn curl route. The fact that no version of the West Coast offense has been used by Grubb is why he’s out of the NFL.

Jack Cochrane picks if off and nearly returns it for 6! LACvsKC on CBS/Paramount+ Stream on @NFLPlus

In Alabama’s last 16 games against P4 teams, here are the results from the 1st drive of the 2nd half: Turnover on downs FG 75 yard TD drive Punt 75 yard TD drive 3 and out Turnover 3 and out Punt 3 and out FG 75 yard TD drive Punt Turnover on downs 3 and out Turnover

This is worrisome

In Alabama’s last 14 games against P4 teams, here are the results from the 1st drive of the game (the scripted drive): Turnover Turnover 48 yard TD drive 3 and out 3 and out Turnover Turnover Punt 3 and out 3 and out Punt 3 and out Turnover on downs 3 and out

I don’t want to pick on D. Lee, but why would you not force the WR back into the field of play? Our couches might be to give Chuck McDonald some snaps this week. Off man with poor technique will look just like this the remainder of the year.

If Bama wants to compete with playoff-caliber teams, who often rely on power and great OL play (not RPO or spread), they MUST add a secondary power scheme to the defensive playbook. Heupel outcoached Bama by NOT running his scheme. Bama MUST adapt their scheme (or DC) to match.

Go figure Ryan Grubb runs this slow ass hand off and the tight ends just absolutely forget how to block and Alabama cants convert a 4th and 1

This makes zero sense. We rotate every position on defense but can’t rotate WRs? The starters got clamped. How do you not give Ced and Rogers more chances?

Tennessee’s offensive line allowed 10 sacks to Texas’ defense. Today, Alabama recorded one sack against Tennessee.

Yep. I really like Kane as a person, but this defense isn't it. It doesn't attack enough, it's soft coverage relying on turnovers way too much. It leads to lower scores but also long drives where your offense doesn't have the ball.
