Lots of people wanted him "very badly"....Clemson close to his home and had the right offense for him....fortunate for Dabo that he picked them.

Barnacle 9,064 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Plays that apparently aren't targeting, according to the NCG referees: https://twitter.com/PickSixPreviews/status/818635204227137536https://twitter.com/PickSixPreviews/status/818635898376060928 I'll say this. Reuben Foster is one heck of a linebacker, but he's a reckless, headhunting player, and for that reason I'm happy we won't see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there truly is a first time for everything. Must have been a shock to their system to see flags thrown for holding go against them. I think they got away with a targeting penalty against Mike Williams. Basically they aren't used to penalties being called on even ground. He was complaining about the "pick plays" not being called on Clemson. That's irony at the top level coming from a bammer. Especially since saban has spoken about, in his words, "pick plays" that bammer offense runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defensive back throws the wide out to the ground. It worked against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have anything to complain about. They got away with literally trying to take Williams out of the game and they did for virtually the 2nd and 3rd quarter, then he rose up in the 4th. That was clearly a late hit on one play and a targeting on another in the 1st quarter. I love the irony of there being :01 left on the clock. Just gotta make us AU folks smile. Bama fans will cringe every time the clock passes or stops on :01 in the 4th from here to eternity!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Interesting that we once again open and close our season against the two top teams from the previous year (if you discount Ga Southern) Lots of pressure on everyone for certain though I still think we were a healthy QB away from winning either game this year....and the QB situation looking MUCH better for 2017. I'm hopeful....even optimistic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not discounting them but can't remember the last time we actually lost to a team like this though I expect it has happened. Actually that is a good starting game for us . This year we hit Clemson cold with no idea about our quarterback situation . GSU should give us a good chance to see what the offense is all about. As per last year, I see the upcoming Clemson game as being winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we as fans are, after the GSU games, we will have segment putting us the playoffs for next year, and the other segment wanting to fire Gus on the spot.

So true...but the thing is, the fans on either side of the argument will have already made up their minds before the game..... and very likely, nothing they see will cause them to change sides. Like a political argument.....nobody is ever convinced by a spokesperson from the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there will also be those who question..... Why is AU even playing Ga Southern in the first place. I know $$$$$ is the obvious answer but...booooorriiinnnngg... Not the place, sorry, but I wish the AU PTB had the guts to play 3 big time oppenents and just have 1 snoozer per year for HC. But that's just me. I'm here for the entertainment.

At the same time, we do that and your Ohio States, Clemsons, FSUs, etc have that much more of an edge getting to the playoffs, because more than half of their conferences are basically cupcakes, while our conference is getting more and more top heavy. Also, no one wants to play us as their non-conference opponent and risk the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
