Florida v. Arkansas...

I’ve got to say that Florida just doesn’t look all of that great. They don’t look bad, but they certainly don’t look like anything special either.

If we can win the west...

…I was thinking I’d much rather play them than UGA again.

And...

Michael Smith is an impressive runner. I think I underestimated him earlier in the year, that much is clear.

He is a very small back, and he’s not going to be a particularly good every-down option, but he does have great speed, good movement from the lower body, and great balance. He’s not going to ever be an elite every-down guy, but he’s certainly a very valuable situational player.

by outsidethesidelines on Oct 4, 2008 12:20 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I thought Smith...

…was very dangerous against us. He’s looking good so far against Florida, too, but they really need a power runner to complement him.

He fumbles the punt and gives Florida a first down inside the Arkansas 20.

Florida....

To me, Florida just doesn’t look that good. Arkansas has thoroughly proven through the first five weeks of the season that they suck big-time, and it’s hard to fathom that they’ve made this kind of progress in the course of five days.

Florida just isn’t doing anything. They only have 180 total yards of offense right now, and 75 yards worth of penalties. If Arkansas wouldn’t have killed themselves with penalties, this should be a 7-0 or 3-0 game right now.

South Carolina v. Ole Miss

I didn’t even realize this game was underway just yet, but Ole Miss is leading 21-17 in the early second quarter.

Snead has been highly efficient thus far as a passer, but he did fumble and it was returned for a touchdown.

by kleph on Oct 4, 2008 2:39 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not good...

Andre whiffed on the linebacker lined up as a defensive end, and Wilson held onto the ball entirely too long.

That will result in a sack every time.

The first penalty, the illegal formation, just looked like a general screw-up, but the delay of game seemed to stem a bit from some of the defensive shifts we made.

I don’t know if you guys noticed it, but there was two great blocks on the right side of the offensive line, from Drew Davis and Marlon Davis. Those two guys cleared out a massive running lane for him.

Anders, Fanney, Greenwood, and Deaderick.

I like that a lot for rushing the passer. It’s basically a front four of your top two defensive ends and your top two Jack linebackers.

Needs to catch that one...

… Arenas needs to make that grab; it saves us 10 yards of field position.

Either way, we need to really pound our way out here, we don’t need a big negative play or have to punt deep out of our own end zone.

It’d be nice to pin Kentucky up deep for a change.

I think so...

I figure he’s fine, but you might as well limit his carries. We get the off week next week, and with Upchurch playing so well, there’s no reason to pound Ingram any more than you need to.

And speaking of Ingram, there he is getting hammered on the ill-advised screen pass.

No...

Teams get to bring their own football. That has been the case for many years now.

Whichever team puts the ball into play on offense or special teams gets to use the ball they brought. They are usually branded with a school logo to help identify.

that each offense gets to supply their own. Hence Hartline shouldn’t be having grip issues.

Guess I just always typically noticed it with visitors.

RollBamaRoll.com

by Nico2.0 on Oct 4, 2008 3:19 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think...

It’s usually a non-issue because so many teams use the exact same type of ball, but it can come into play on special teams plays. Some balls, just via manufacturing construction ranges, are slicker than others, and homers loved to send in the slippery balls on the plays where they would have to handle things on special teams.

Actually, that issue came up in the NFL two years ago when Romo fumbled the hold on the XP in the playoffs against the Seahawks. Supposely the Seahawks had slipped him one of the slippery balls out of the kicking ball bag.

Exactly...

The safe, boring play is, at times, the right play. Arenas needs to learn that in the worst way.

At times, it seems like his goal is to get on Sportscenter every time he touches the ball. That works well sometimes, but not always.

Given...

Given how much he has fumbled lately, he damn well better be or he doesn’t have much of an excuse to give to our beloved Nicktator.

Either way, he took a pretty tough shot to the head.

This game...

Should be a huge blowout right now, it should be 24-0.

Coffee better be real goddamn glad he’s had two 75+ yard touchdown runs in the past three weeks, or his ass would find a permanent spot on the bench with his fumbling horseshit.

South Carolina v. Ole Miss...

The Gamecocks just took a 24-21 lead with a Chris Smelley touchdown pass.

Our defense...

Needs a big stop here.

This is a 14-0 game that we have controlled, but it is much closer than it should be. This should be a 24-0 game right now. Kentucky is still in this game, and they should be damn near completely knocked out at this point.

I’m sure Saban told him, no matter what, call a god damn fair catch

Good stop...

We should have picked that one, but oh well, we forced the punt. Sharrief came in front and screwed it up for whoever was behind him.

Anyway, all right offense, get your shit together.

And by God Arenas called the fair catch there. I think the arm was going up right about the time the ball reached the punter.

Fuck...

Andre is hurt, and he has a huge tape job on that left elbow. I think he hurt it while diving for the fumble. I hope he’s okay.

Damn you Glen Coffee.

Not bad, but...

We aren’t playing very well, period. This game should have been 24-0 several minutes ago, and now Kentucky will go to halftime with, a worst-case scenario of a 14-0 game.

This should already be a 24-0 game at least.

We are lucky to have the points we have.

We have a 78 yard run for a touchdown and a gift from their qb for another. We haven’t sustained a damn thing.

If it were up to me, I'd blitz on offense too.

He's short...

So that means they will punt to Arenas. I’m not sure exactly how this will play out though, it’s a bit scary with how he has handled the ball so far.

A score before half would be great, but I don’t want to risk anything else. We needed a score, for sure, but that’s the offense’s fault for fucking things up.

Kentucky has to feel very good. They are only down 14-0 now — when it should be 24-0 or worse — and they get the ball in the first half.

I hope Saban puts his foot so far up these guys asses that it gets stuck in their facemasks.

I agree...

I agree, we should be okay. As long as our defense keeps dominating UK this way, we’re in great shape.

That’s just not the point, though. The problem is that if they get some offense, or we have a stupid turnover, this is a 14-7 and it’s a game that we could easily lose. Given how we have absolutely dominated them thus far, this should be a blowout at this stage, a blowout to where it would take an unbelievably monumental collapse to even bring losing back into the question as a legitimate possibility.

I know...

… and I’m not complaining if the defense can keep dominating, but I’m just afraid that eventually the Kentucky offense will find a little life, and that’s really all they need to find to get back into this game.

But you’re right, I’m a realist pessimist.

by outsidethesidelines on Oct 4, 2008 4:22 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The fact...

The fact that this game is so close is utter horseshit. We are absolutely dominating this game.

We lead in total yardage 253-60. Kentucky is averaging fewer than 3 yards per pass and 2 yards per run. Kentucky has only 4 first downs. They are 1-9 on third down.

This should be blowout city right now. The fact that this game is still competitive is utter horseshit.

As much as this game has sucked

Compared to how things have been over the last few years, it’s great to be in the spot we are in, complaining about how Bama should be up 24-0 at half. A few years ago, we would be tied or losing this game right now.

Let’s try and keep things in perspective.
