I haven't watched a ton of Bama football this year but I don't think Milroe is very good. I think he's a big reason why they've slipped.
Well, there’s a reason why BO’B told him he should switch positions.

Can we put to bed the illusion that Alabama should have gotten a playoff spot now?
No because the SEC fanboys will tell us that bowls are meaningless now because of opt outs and transfer portal... ignoring the fact that both teams are impacted by opt outs and transfer portal.

The Pittiots are already using that excuse for the ACCs putrid bowl showing

Illinois seems to be getting the short end of the stick on the officiating.

Shane Beamer whining that they aren’t getting calls. For once, I’d love for the interviewer to say, “What do you think about the nonfumble that you benefitted from or the possible horse collar you got away with, Shane?”

I think Beamer is a good coach but my goodness what a whiner. Now, he’s in the middle of the field whining about a timeout?

well it is the poorly implemented rule where if you sub on O you have to let the D sub as well but apparently they can take up the entire play clock to do so and force you to take a timeout or delay of game

Spotting the ball seems to be lost on the clowns officiating the SC Illinois game. The guy on the SC side of the field is drunk walking the spots.

I get it. And I’ve seen PSU sub the DL very late in the same situation. But that is the rule. Everybody has to deal with it.

That has been an issue in almost every game I have seen this year and PSU has been the victim to that in several big occasions.

That's actually a strategy that we've been using since last season. I think it's bitten us in the rear a time or ten when guys can't get lined up correctly before the snap but it must be working more times than not or we wouldn't keep doing it.

and also make sure you throw the third down pass to the line of scrimmage, the line to gain is just a suggestion

Would be interesting if SC and Ole Miss both lose their bowl games since they, along with Bama, were supposedly better than most of the 12 teams to make the CFP, according to Paul F and others.
