Alabama/Arkansas today. Cannot wait. Just too bad they're on at the same time as the Yankees' date=' as I'll be forced to flip back and forth.[/quote']

 

One of the rare times of the year I root for Alabama. Please, please win. I don't even live in Arkansas anymore but their fans are going to be absolutely unbearable if they win.

Toughest game on Bama's schedule in my opinion. Today will be the first time this new defense will truly be tested.

Without a doubt. Arkansas has arguably the best offense in the country, and it's in Fayetteville, the crowd will be nuts... going to be tough. I know Bama still has Florida and the SEC title game most likely, but I don't think they will have many problems with UF and they will probably steamroll whoever they play in the SEC championship.

I'll put this years Bama offensive up against any SEC team (and maybe any team in the country), but, as you said, Arkansas is really strong on that side of the ball. I'm very curious to see how Saban goes after Mallett today. Last year he wasn't afraid to blitz often no matter which QB he was facing, because he trusted Javier Arenas and Marquis Johnson to play man to man defense. It's likely a different story this year.

This NC State vs GT game is getting a bit intersting.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

God damn Wisconsin dropped 70 points and Iowa is winning 42-0.

[yankees228]

Well this was my big fear. I'm not sure this new defense can handle an offense like Arkansas' on the road.

 

EDIT: Garbage call on Dareus' offsides.

[yankees228]

What a job by Kirby Smart.

 

EDIT: And there's the Heisman winner.

[yankees228]

Horrendous spot there.

 

EDIT: And it costs Bama a first down.

[ORS]

Saban looks like he picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

[yankees228]

Really didn't expect to see last year's McElroy today. They're in trouble.

[yankees228]

Would have been nice if Richardson went out of bounds there.

Texas getting spanked by a weak, unranked PAC-10 team in their house, and the Hogs are exposing the 'Bama D. Didn't see either of those things happening.

I don't think the Bama D should come as a surprise. It's a completely young and unexperienced unit, one that showed weaknesses in pass coverage even in their first three blowout wins. As I mentioned above, they're very weak at the corner back position, and that really inhibits Saban from playing the type of defense he wants to.

Can someone fill me in on the bama game i saw there losing

[yankees228]

Just an awful decision by Hanks. The play was over.

[yankees228]

Yes! OK boys, lets get a stop.

[yankees228]

Huge stop. Alright Greg, time to keep that undefeated record intact.

[yankees228]

McElroy had Maze in the corner, and missed him. Could be the throw that proves to end this run.

[ORS]

Huge mistake by Mallet. Both the decision and the throw.

[yankees228]

Give it to your Heisman winner.

[yankees228]

Give it to your Heisman winner.

 

Thank you Saban. Now it takes one stop.

[yankees228]

What a horrible call.

[ORS]

Bad call, that ball was not cathcable.

[See Red]

Yep, very bad call.

[ORS]

Game. Awful throw.

[yankees228]

Thank you Kirby Smart for staying aggressive. Come on Mark, three plays to get 10 and it's over.

[ORS]

Mallett was pretty bad in this game. Actually, very bad. Three picks that were totally on him, one in the endzone, killing a drive, the one that set up the go ahead score, and the one that ended the game.

 

End hype.

[yankees228]

I really hope Saban doesn't throw it here, even if it's a run pass option for McElroy. Just give it to Ingram, and if you don't pick up the first, punt, and trust your defense with so little time left.

[yankees228]

Please do not go for this.

 

EDIT: OK, thank you.
