AU64 10,122 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 A good coach would of kept running Henry all night long... Wait is'nt Saban suppose to be the "greatest college coach" Saban is an NFL style coach...and subscribes to the theory of having a fresh back in at all times...so he constantly rotates his RBs like most pro teams....which means he does not always get benefit of a "hot" back. If you watch much pro ball, few RBs have an exclusive role with their teams. I worry that we over-work Tre but when he get's rolling, tired or not, he's sure motivated.

caleb1633 1,418 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't think there was much of a Bama love fest going on by the media during this game at all. They showed the kick six and were talking often about how Bama struggled against Auburn. Then they were making fun of Saban after the game, "Saban wasn't smiling tonight... then again he's never smiling." I think the Bama love fest ended before the Iron Bowl honestly because no one wanted to watch Alabama play anymore because they were just blowing everyone out, which means ESPN loses money.

tigersauburn217 2 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This loss doesn't make me feel better about the FSU game. It makes me feel worse about it actually. I expected Bama to own Oklahoma, one because it is SEC; two because it was against Oklahoma (who always lays an egg in the bowl); and three because I truly believed that Bama was one of the best teams in the country. Auburn's schedule was still tougher than FSU's, but maybe Auburn's schedule shouldn't be the beef that we all thought it was. Auburn's offense struggled for it's 28 points and Oklahoma just took it with ease. Maybe Bama's defense isn't as awesome as thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bammer is notorious for losing when facing that type of resilliency. Our game has nothing to do with the Sugar Bowl. FSU doesnt even play as tough of teams that Oklahoma plays...so that argument is flawed from the start. We beat bammer because we never gave up...kept punching, so did OK and almost TAM. I think that will be our key to success against FSU. Our boys don't lay down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama was already beyond the OU game before it was even played...were interviewed talking about jumping AU in the polls. Over-confidence and arrogance can bite you in the a**. I sure don't think a team like AU that has won by the skin of their teeth most of the year will be over-confident about a 13-0 team, no matter who they are.

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Tiger4life.....SEC not over-rated necessarily but definitely overly arrogant. Lots of folks in SEC country have reached the point where they think all their teams have to do is "show up" and they are going to win. Many of us have been reading our own press clippings and we are suddenly surprised when a Duke gives TAMU all they can handle...and Oklahoma handles the "best team in the nation" virtually from wire to wire. Certainly most Bama folks had figured that their game was in the bag soon as it was announced. Thus they have spent the past two weeks cluttering up AUburn boards, talking about how FSU was going to smack AU....when they should have been musing about whether their team would be ready to play....or perhaps wondering if TAMU and AU had shown some pretty smart coaches the key to beating Alabama. Losing the last two games of the season to "inferior teams" is not the Bama Way now is it? JMO but the Bama loss should be a good lesson about the danger of having preconceived ideas about the worthiness of an opponent. AU fans (and players) might want to reconsider the common perception these days ........that a good SEC team does not have to worry about an ACC opponent. . . . . Starting with their coach and QB. You both nailed it . So much is said of both's "leadership." Well, leadership is top down in the business world. Looks like the team caught what they were taught. War Eagle, and may we LEARN from their mistakes, rather than repeat them ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToraGirl 5,498 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 We didn't play against the same Bama that played last night. Which Bama has actually shown up this year? More than one Bama game has been down to the wire before you could say Tigers or Sooners. The only difference in some results is that two of the many teams they expected to beat (but still struggled against) beat them, and it doesn't matter by how much. End of overrating. They can and do rebuild just like everyone else. The emperor does forget to put his clothes on at times, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,579 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 OK by 14!!! ONE prediction down, one to go! Tora's roaring!!! Who ya got for tomorrow's game? Daddy needs a pair of new shoes!! You're so funny! This is the first time I've ever taken a chance to predict a score. Now I have prayed for many victories, mostly Auburn-centered, because I knew what was at stake. This one was just "Lord, Your will be done." Much more going on than what we can see. It's just sweet when you see athletes like Trevor Knight say what he did. I have thoroughly enjoyed "The Sooner Bowl" tonight--been fun "watching it" with all of you! I agree. For me, it means a lot when these young men, instead of saying they thank God, give thanks to their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Me too, Pat. And if you mean the Orange Bowl, I wish I could predict ZERO TO ZERO and call it a tie. It is the LOSER BOWL, or at least the WHINER BOWL IMO! >:(/> :big:/> I'm in the same predicament! I'm still trying to figure out a way for BOTH teams to LOSE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the fact---the rest is what many fans on all sides buy from the press. Although I hoped Mark May would eat his pre-game words about "best team" last night, seeing them nearly get dumped on their "arse" when the platform was jiggled by the Sooners was good enough for me. We've got to realize that when you're in the business of constantly having to eat your words, then you become about as unbelievable as most of the Bama fanbase. And we alone choose who to believe and what to repeat. " Always lays an egg"...that is the phrase of missing what's going on behind the scenes while all eyes have been on the supposed "best team" in the nation, universe, ever. Earth to everyone...great teams are emerging, and even mediocre is the eyes of the beholder. "Any given Saturday...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn the ball over 5 times, your chances of winning are next to nothing. Bama played great ball to have a chance at the end of the game to tie it up to send it to overtime. Don't be concerned about FSU too much. If Bama would've turned the ball over 5 times against us, we would've won by 20+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 That was the difference in the game. I was surprised at how average the Sooner passing game made Bama's secondary look, but they both stopped the run and ran the ball effectively the entire game. The difference in the game was 28 points off Bama turnovers, including two touchdowns on drives of 45 and 13 yards and another defensive touchdown. The offense killed Bama's defense last night. Simple as that. It was unexpected to see OU have three drives over 65 yards, but the -4 turnover margin is the primary reason Bama lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I went and checked out one of the Bama boards. Lots of the usual but there were a few that got it. Said they have to change and adapt to the hurry up offenses out there now and change who they recruit for defense. Was rather surprised at the honest assessment but I guess there are a few that have some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" What happened? I saw Mark May's ridiculous pregame prediction and I meant to watch him eat his words after the game but I fell asleep. Best as I can understand it, Bob Stoops and Trevor Knight were sitting at the table being interviewed, post-game. Great commentary by both. The rest of the team came up behind them for support, I think, and that many on/near the platform jiggled it and made it drop about a foot. Shook 'em up nice and proper.

Browning4AU 405 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This....Just the classic Saban, can't make adjustments when his Plan A falls apart. Henry was killing OK and the kept taking him out every time he would make something happen. Also, did anyone else notice after TJ fumbled he went back, sat on the bench, and seemed to be laughing at somebody? Bama just didn't really want that game as bad as OU. JMHO.

Shire5k 19 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm not afraid to admit that I left at half-time. I will stay to the end if it looks like my team is trying, and could overcome. At this game, I thought "Well, if my team doesn't want to be here, why should I?" So, I went and lost money at the casino....which was still more fun than that game.
