Just Me Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The sports media and pundits have the top 5 matchup they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inbred Gumps is def #1. After the Miami game, i thought they bumped us so high to set up the AU top 10 matchup. But i believe we have earned top 5 at this point.

Just Me Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It is warranted. I almost put that. But I think that even if the past two weeks had been closer games, we still would be in the top 5. I also think they all wanted us to win specifically for this matchup. Which is more what I was thinking of. (Not their love of LSU.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Me Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I was just looking at the Tuscaloosa U schedule. They really haven't played anyone. They need a top 10 (and preferably to 5) matchup - and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Well tbh, they have had a soft schedule, but they have demolished it. Every Saturday, i've had to work. It's laid back though, and i watch games on my phone. Alabama has a TD on literally EVERY opening drive, Tua has the most TDs before an int in history (still zero ints). They typically lead about 21-0 or worse at the end of the first quarter and up 40 at the half. Tua has hardly any playing time beyond halftime, and has yet to play in a 4th quarter. They're unreal. On offense. However.... They do not look like a Inbred Gumps defense. Arkansas put up over 30 against them. Tennessee's backup (after they "non-targeted" the starter out of the game) lit up that secondary. Mizzou game em some fits. We just have to withstand the early onslaught, punch them in the mouth, and go toe to toe with them. Let divinity or delpit or whomever hit Tua and see how he likes actual football. I think they can be had. Ohio St ain't Inbred Gumps, but we ain't Purdue either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can be had. Ohio St ain't Inbred Gumps, but we ain't Purdue either Our OLine is weak. RBs get hit at the line, Burrow takes more hits in one game than Drew Brees does in a whole season. On defense, we have very little pass rush and, outside of some blitzes, it's almost as if we have accepted the fact that we can't get home to the QB. Instead we drop guys into coverage with the hope that everyone will be covered and the QB won't have anywhere to go with the football. We are then susceptible to a running QB. IDK man, we've got our work cut out for us. I'm hoping we can get some big plays on defense or special teams and that somehow, some way, we manage to get some rhythm going on offense. Or hell, maybe we just rely on field goals and win 9-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Joe has a pattern of being up and down with games so he is due for a up game with Inbred Gumps so I hope it holds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well realistically, Dru is right. Regarding Burrow, he has a pattern of being really good when the OL gives him protection and...AND... the TEs can go out in a route instead of helping block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
