Every team has their easy games. How many good teams will the stacked Clemson squad be playing this entire season? Even the teams with the toughest schedule face some soft competition. 21 hours ago, Canadian Bills Fan said: Im so glad Saban has declared Tua the starter now I think that he waited so long because he didn't want Jalen to leave. Also, Jalen has been there longer and has more friends on the team. Saban probably didn't want to alienate anybody. Tua sure did put on a show on Saturday, didn't he? He didn't miss a beat since the title game and is nothing less than spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tide have never played UB in football. UB has played Auburn and UGA, but those games took place in Auburn, AL and Athens, GA. Bama did a home-home series with Penn State back in 2010/2011. Is that what you were thinking about? Edit: I just did a quick check of the UB schedule back to 1999. No Bama vs UB.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Watching Alabama tonight and haven't seen much from Raekwon Davis, but Jonah Williams is a Beast at OT, excellent pass blocker and run blocker.

He played Guard last year and now Saban has him at Center. He can really play and centers tend to not go so early. If it were up to me, the Bills would have a slew of early draft picks for the next 2 seasons. It really looks like we will pick in the top 5 and I'm being kind. They could turn that into a plethora of blockers and pass rushers. Will they? You tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With McD being a defensive guy he will more than likely get some pass rushers in here. If we don't get Bosa there are plenty of other rushers (and DTs) to fill the void , which is why we should have went offense last year and defense this next offseason. I've said this in other places but we made a mistake in not trading Tyrod and McCoy last year and starting Peterman. This way we wouldn't have to trade away all those picks to get Allen and we would have more picks as well. When getting a franchise QB he should be surrounded by talent so he doesn't struggle , now Allen has to survive this unit and somehow get better in the process.

Remember Demetrious Bell (sic)? People used to tell me how fast he was and how he had good feet and it was true, however; he had 9 reps on the bench at the combines and was also tiny by LT standards. Blitzing safeties would take him out on some plays. When you think about it, we have seen almost every specific type of inept blocker on our team.

But being fast doesn't mean your strong. Lineman need to be able push an anchor and that comes from hip strength and squats are the key to taht. Yep, we had them all , I just wish we would keep the good ones. letting go of Wolford during the Super Bowl years is what led to the downfall of that team. Then Jason Peters and now Glenn, Incognito and Wood, which is the problem now as they were not properly replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the aTm game, Tua was throwing a TD pass for very 7.5 passes. After this game, it's now 1 for 6.7 (80 pass attempts, 12 TDs).

Sky Diver Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 About 40% of the freshman class had a 30 or greater ACT test score. That means that 40% of the students in the freshman class are among the top 5% of test takers. They also enrolled 187 National Merit scholars. That will be UA among the highest in the nation. https://www.ua.edu/news/2018/09/high-achieving-freshman-class-graduate-school-growth-highlight-ua-enrollment/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
