BOL Round Table

If they don't end this halftime show soon I may stab myself in the eye with a spork

A spork seems inefficient, IYAM.

Halftime notes:

QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH NICK SABAN

“We wanted the guys to play to a standard, which in the last couple of weeks we haven’t played to. I think we’ve done that today. We just have to keep doing it and play for 60 minutes, which is another standard we have around here regardless of who is playing in the game.”

SCORING STREAK CONTINUES

With Eddie Lacy’s 7-yard touchdown run on the opening drive against Western Carolina, Alabama raised its current total of consecutive games in which it scored to 153 – the longest streak in program

Watching on tv.
The Johnny Football stuff is driving me nuts. No one to blame but ourselves.
Still baffled by our lack of disciplinein 1st half. Shoulda put that legend to bed last week

That segment did get me thinking, though. If Kevin Sumlin, Mike Tomlin, and Omar Epps were all in a room, would anyone on earth be able to tell who's who?

Here we go. Foster kicks it in the end zone and Brent Calloway with his 2nd tackle on the day after a 16 yard return.

That's what I'm saying. Our Jones' have been kicking it around lately back there.

tana patrick has been getting alot of PT the last couple of games

Pass completed, but short of the first. Tackle by Nico. Cyrus Jones back to receive the punt.

Sims scrambles and lays out for the first down.

Mainly a breakdown only in first quarter--we had multiple opportunities to win if we had played mistake free football.

Good blitz pickup by Calloway
