Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I beleive O'Leary to be a better coach than Shula. One facet of UCF that is better than Alabama. I'll take the Gamecocks at home in this one. Spurrier is a tricky fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sntemp 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Even before their game against Georgia I was a little worried about playing SC this year. Spurrier is a great college coach and coaches like him can beat team with superior talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,457 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 uat has NO o-line. They couldn't protect the skinny kid vs Sou. Miss. When they play a REAL SEC Team, he will be in trouble. The question is....Is usc a REAL SEC Team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bammanmr 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 unless they have a letdown after losing to uga, usc wins by at least 3 touchdowns. 180363[/snapback] Yeah...bama was gonna beat AU by 3 TDs last year...but they had a letdown... At least bring something only half ignorant to the table. 180432[/snapback] Let's see, a team without a home (practicing and living at university of memphis) and without 2 suspended starters on defense, from a non-bcs conference gave the bammer offense and defense fits for 45 minutes in their own stadium. Without a once-in-a-lifetime catch from a 5'6" WR, and another 50 yd bomb, which made up 40% of broodie's passing yards, bammer doesn't even come close to winning. And don't even try and compare usm's defense with any from the SEC except uk (talk about ignorant statements). Just think what a team that can actually move the ball will do the 'mighty thad'. Get ready tied, it's not going to be pretty. I'll stand by the 3 TD statement, I'll even go so far to say 38-17. This isn't another non-BCS warm-up.

AWK 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 All Alabama needs to do is run the ball, while South Carolina looked a lot better than i expected them to, Georgia could run the ball left and right against that defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help, before you make these ridiculous homer statements, if you did some homework first. 1. The 2 suspended starters were allowed to play this week. One of whom was a 2 time all american DB who gave up the 52 yard bomb on the first play thanks to a perfectly thrown ball. 2. USM gave us fits for 15 mins. They picked off a stupid pass, and ran back a 28 yd punt to our 13 thanks to a blatant block in the back misscall. At one point they had 14 points and -11 total yards offense. 3. Yes Pro made a once in a lifetime catch, which accounted for 45 yards. But the other 50 yarder is part of the game. I doubt that it is fair to say "if you take away the two bombs, you wouldnt have been productive". The 45 yarder and 52 yarder equate for 97 yards ~29% of Brodies production. But they were both perfectly thrown. 4. Bama only allowed 199 yards and one touchdown drive. We ran out 7 mins of the clock on the last drive running a vanilla offense, and fumbled on their 2 yard line thanks to trying to be nice and run the same play over and over again. You sure do talk a big game considering the fact that AU didnt score an offensive TD for, what, 36 mins? And that was thanks to an MSU fumble on their own 30.

What game were you watching? Gerald McRath returned an interception 32 yards for a TD when Croyle floated a short pass, and Jasper Faulk returned a 24-yard punt by Jeff Aul to the Alabama 12 to set up a touchdown pass by Dustin Almond to a jumping Anthony Perine on the next play. Almond added a 37-yard scoring pass to Perine to put the Golden Eagles up 21-10. The three touchdowns basicly came from special teams, (Which we have major problems with) and a "ohh crap, I screwed up" by Brodie. All three took all of about two and a half minutes off the clock. Here, Bama is on the right side. 5 of those non- converted third downs were third and 10+ yards resulting from all those holding calls we did not receive from the whole ref. conspiracy as pointed out by the former DA from Lousiana on this board. 1st Downs 12 24 Total Yards 199 470 Passing 190 330 Rushing 9 140 Penalties 11-109 10-95 3rd Down Conversions 3-11 6-16 4th Down Conversions 0-0 2-2 Turnovers 1 2 Possession 23:42 36:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen both teams play and from what I saw, bammer's defense won't stop usc's offense, and bama's o-line can't block it's way out of a paper bag.

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It will be an interesting game for sure. The teams are more similiar than either coach or fanbase would like to admit. SC has no running game, while Bama only showed one in the latter throes of The USM game. SC improved in their second game, which is probably their biggest rival outside of Clemson. Emotion carried them, as well as a few good defensive plays. Brodie looks good, with the exception of floating that pass that was a pick six. The SC QB looks good. He will test the secondary of Bama and probably put up some decent numbers. SC's defense wasn't good against UCF, but then impressed me against UGA. Bama's defense has been solid, but look at the competition. Close game, might come down to the kicking game. Don't know much about Carolina's, but Bama's has not impressed. Spurrier pulls out a close one by outcoaching Shula/Kines... 24 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 2nd touchdown came in the 2nd quarter. We used a one dimensional offense with the 3rd and 4th string tailbacks as the primary attack in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,457 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Anyone that watched the MSU game knows that AU had them BEATEN before the game started. There is a VAST difference in talent between the two teams. Why would AU attempt to run up the score when we have a ton of talented back up players that need game experience. IF AU had continued to mix the PASS with the run, we could have scored 3-4 more tds. That would accomplish nothing. We will not run up the score on ball st. or WK either. Look for the coaches to "work out the kinks" in the next two games. The score or the "stats" mean nothing so long as it is another "W". Let uat worry about stats. It will not be long before they must play a REAL team. Then, well, those STATS will speak for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUesquire 1 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I picked Bama based on defense. I think they'll be able to force enough turnovers to come out on top. If USC cannot run, and all early indications say they can't, then they have no chance. Bama's OL is definitely suspect and I imagine Brodie and his room mate, O-lineman Capps I believe, had a few words about letting certain defensive ends head hunt the QB. Having said that, Darby and Castille are heads and shoulders above anything USC can put on the field and they'll be able to do enough on their own to beat the Lamecocks. Spurrier and the butt-kickin chickens are goin' down by 10 at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
