Sugar Bowl: Alabama - Kansas St. game thread
- Thread starter blion72
- Start date
saban’s lost the locker room. He stayed on too long. Franklin to Tuscaloosa.
Don't under estimate Kansas State. Very well coached and they always play smart. And besides, they beat a CFP team. Bama has not beaten a top 10 ranked team this year.

My dad always called this "selling TV time". 3 minute drive answer, Bama cuts the lead to 10-7.
Of course, the major issues with Bama this year in their losses was the defense holding up.

Kansas St with a 19 play, 11 minute drive and they don’t score. Quite certain I have never seen something like that!
Bama player rips off the helmet of a KSU receiver. No flag. Talk about bad officiating. SMH.
Would have been a good opportunity for a time out there before 4th down. Should have run the play clock out minimally. Hindsight.
Exactly! They then let Bama go 98 yards in just over a minute.
It's Alabama. You can't make those calls against the almighty Bama....tsk....tsk.
KSU calls time out after Alabama's first play inside the 5. I knew that was going to lead to a Bama TD. Just get into the locker room after missing on the 4th down play.
10 minutes off the clock doesn't help when Bama can score like that. Should have kicked it on any of the 4th downs that were in a 10/10 guys range. Franklin gets eat alive for this stuff. And for good reason.
Take. The. Points.
Expect that lead to increase. Alabama should have been in the CFP, not TCU.
Yes, I think they are realizing what they are up against. Physical mismatches everywhere.
I was thinking the same thing. Holy string of bad coaching decisions. Now 28-10 Bama.
Look what they are doing to the team that beat TCU.
I fear this is how the playoffs are going to look. Sounds nice to let 12 teams in, but there are only really 4 to 6 teams who are really, really good.
Believe you're overestimating, but overall agree with your assessment.
These athletes on Bama are just unbelievable. Every time I watch them play a whole game I feel like they are just in another league.
I was thinking the opposite. A playoff can’t come soon enough for me. I want to let the teams decide it on the field.
Now we have a committee that just excludes teams the minute they have 2 losses and rewards teams with good records even if based on soft schedules.
TCU lost to this K St team in the big 12 championship but were given a playoff spot anyway over this Alabama team simply based on record.
Now 35-10 Alabama in the 3rd.
You stop that by beating them on the field. I thought this was a mismatch going in.
Bama w/ Saban vs anybody with 30 days prep is a mismatch. Or at least it seems.
What we’re seeing today is more of an indictment of the committe’s bad decisions. Expanded playoffs will at least right that ship. But I still think there are only a few really really good teams.
Reminds me of the success JoePa and Penn State had in bowl games.
