PrintSpecial Teams - Shelley played great under intense pressure getting the most points via field goals in a BCS game ever. Our coverage was spot on not allowing them to gain return yardage.
OL - Outstanding protection for AJ. They only had a couple of missed blocks all night and gave AJ plenty of time to throw.
Defense - UN-FRICKING-BELIEVABLE performance. Hightower, Upshaw, Gentry, Chapman, Barron, Menzie, Dre, CJ and everyone else on D - please note that you will be known as one of the best (if not THE BEST) defenses in the history of Bama football. Thanks so much for your contributions and best of luck after Bama football. You will be missed.
AJ - WOW!!!!! Such composure from a first year starter. They put the offense in his hands and he delivered. He avoided costly sacks, ran when he needed to and was spot on in his passing. Incredible performance.
Receivers - Hate it for Maze as he had a stellar return to set the tone early. Hanks and Norwood had GREAT performances. So glad we have two years left from Norwood. Tight ends played great (just next time lay out for that pass Smelley-Cat!!).
RBs - Trent we will miss you!!! You will go down as one of the best backs in Bama history. I have never seen Bama RB run with so much power, speed and agility. You will leave some big shoes to fill. Thank you so much for your efforts! Lacey - looking forward to seeing what you can do next year - STAY HEALTHY!!
Freshmen - Thank you for your contributions, especially Vinnie and Depriest -- so much fun to watch you guys hit.
Coaching - Coach Saban, I know everyone outside of the Bama fans hates you, but know this - WE LOVE YOU!!! Thanks for rebuilding our program and puttnig and excellent game plan together to have them play the way they did. Kirby - WE LOVE YOU TOO!!!! Stellar job with the defense. Coach MAC, I know you've taken some grief during your tenure at BAMA, but we LOVE YOU TOO! You will be missed. Thanks for a great offensive game plan and good luck at Colorado State.
Meltdown thread - I humbly request that we DO NOT do a meltdown thread for last night's game. While I abhor the cheapshot Honey Badger took on Dre in the first game, I still think LSU was a great team and would hate to rub salt in a sore wound.
In closing - Congrats to LSU for a great season. I am proud of our team and hate the way it ended for you. Just know that you have a great team and from what it looks like you will be stacked again next year. Looking forward to another great rematch.
ROLL TIDE!!!

Re: Meltdown.
It’s happening. Bank on it. I think they’re doing a bowl season wide meltdown, but no way do the Tigers avoid making the cut. I can’t begin to imagine the things that an LSU fan might say while watching that performance.
Also, to be fair, we did include our own meltdown after Nov. 5.

IT BETTER HAPPEN
Not so much because I want to rub salt in their wounds, but because LSU fans are downright funny sometimes.

I know it's a longshot...
I’m fine knowing I’m the lone dissenter in that regard. If it’s in the context of the full bowl season, then that’s a bit better. Still wouldn’t want to live through that again if the shoe were on the other foot.
Talent can only get you so far. Give me a player who has less talent, but the heart of a champion and the will to succeed.
The way some of the underclassmen stepped up last night
on such a big stage, with so much on the line, and played so well sure makes me feel good about the very near future of Bama football.

Very true
I was surprised to see that backup NG is actually a senior. Did he have injury issues during the season which limited playing time? I thought for sure he would be an underclassmen because with that old school like drive he had last night, he would be All American caliber. Very impressed by the receivers and the QB who may have turned the corner from being a good college QB to being not just steady but also a playmaker when needed.

He is primarily a 3rd and long guy
because he can get around O-linemen. In our 3-4 scheme he is a bit too small to be the starter at NT as we want to limit the run 1st by tying up O-line with NT and let LB’s make tackles.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Before checking the roster
given his size we thought he might be an underclassman who with another season in the weight room would add some beef to go with that motor. The boy definitely plays with passion. I understand your point about the O-line a little better. On one play, the line protection slanted to the strong side and Mingo (DE) took an inside edge on a run and neither Fluker nor the guard touched him before he made the stop in the backfield. Mingo is an OLB playing DE, so his speed is unreal, but I can see how the Bama O-line could get gapped on certain stunts or short yardage plays. They will be interesting next year as I predict more pass blocking given the confidence of the QB even if Richardson stays. I just hope the QB doesn’t get stuck with an OC who makes things so complicated that the offense thinks more than it plays (Gary Crowton style). That works better in the pros (Saints, Packers, and Patriots probably best examples). Best to you and yours 5026.
