Thoughts on the Bama Game

For play by play on game... see Espn, Gatorzone or Sunsports Replay.
Now onto my thoughts of the game. The good stuff.

Defense
-Even without Marcus Thomas (who we still need badly) our D held them to 0 offensive touchdowns. The only TD Alabama scored was a Chris Leak botched-snap fumble for 6. Bama was in the redzone a few times, only came out with two field goals.

-Still need more pressure on the QB. We need scoop.

-Secondary had 3 INTs - One return for a TD. The secondary really stepped it up against a strong true throwing QB.


Leak makes a 40+ yard run all the way to the two yard line.

-Tebow played strong. Leak was great. (Signs at the stadium = Leak 4 Heisman! Chris Leak is Bringing back the Sexy)

-Bubba didn't get too many catches but one was BIG for a TD and one catch showed his mobility again. He danced around the Alabama defense although he didn't get too far.

-Jemalle Cornelius had some absolutely huge catches this game, That's just senior leadership. I think some his catches rival the beauty of Calvin Johnson of GT.

-Touchdown Baker had great hands with his TD.

Something to note

-We could have pretty easily scored two more TDS. Ryan Smith had a third interception dropped that was a a wide open TD run back. And we likely could have punched it in at the end of the game. But no need to run up the score.

Players of note

- Wynn is becoming a real bruiser. I hope his ankle is a go for LSU.

- Brandon James seeing more time. Some at the running back. Always strong at the return position.

- Ryan Smith 2 INTS! Nice! and a chance at a third!

- Reggie F'n Nelson, yet another interception. Had an INT for a touchdown tonight. He is electrifying.

Officiating

-Was pretty decent. Calls went both ways. Didn't decide the game. But I was in the fifth row for the "supposed" Tebow fumble. The ball was down by contact with the ground. Alabama does not deserve that fumble stat!

Go Gators! LSU is next!
