One time for about 2 seconds. Katie Britt was right beside him. About what I was expecting from ABC. They aren’t about to give a trump any free press or positive coverage.

I was coming back from bham for a wedding and watched the game on the computer best I could.

Georgia adjusted better than Alabama did. But the offense gave the defense a 28 point lead and the defense pissed it away in 3 quarters.
Abolt... saying the defense won the game is the craziest thing I've ever heard someone that knows a good bit about football say. The defense came about as close to losing the game as you can. They lost a 28 point lead, the offense came back and got it back, and then they almost lost it again. They couldn't get off the field on 4th down. After the first quarter they looked bad. Thanks God they decided to make a play at the end and stopped Georgia from scoring after they marched right down the field.


The ball Milroe threw to Williams to take the lead back was perfectly thrown. It wasn't a bad ball. That's the way it's supposed to be thrown. Go back and listen to Deboer's post game presser. He explains it pretty well. Williams is an unreal athlete and we all knew that but how he is carrying himself on the field being so young is truly amazing.

The heisman is Milroe's to lose. I don't think you could ask for much more out of a QB against one of the better defenses in the country.

27/33 374 yards 2TDs 1INT
16 carries 117yds 2TDs 7.3 avg

And the interception bounced out of the receiver's hands. That's a solid performance guys. If he continues this play I don't see them giving it to anyone else.

The offense coaches have got to make better adjustments when the defense changes things. The major changes were in the box not on the edges Abolt. Go back and watch it again. Down and distance decided when the DBs played press. But the big change was they got out of dime and played more of a nickel hybrid type box a good bit. Bama's TE/H or whatever they are calling it now was free the first quarter. This also had him blocking a DB on most runs. That changed pretty much after the 1st quarter.

It was a good game. Both teams made great plays. Georgia is well coached.

No relaxed effort at all. Georgia adjusted to what Bama was doing offensively really well. And Bama didn't adjust to what Georgia was doing defensively. Georgia also converted on 4th down several times which led to points. The defense not getting off the field is what hurt them. Believe me, they weren't relaxed at all when playing a game against Georgia at home. If they stop Georgia on 3 of the 4th down plays it's a totally different ball game at the end.

Georgia was in desperation mode for most of the game obviously. Georgia was in 4 down territory nearly the whole game. Georgia again has an extra down out of desperation since they got down so early in game. Bama could not stop them on 4th down and that is obviously on Bama’s defense. Georgia getting that extra down opportunity out of desperation ended up helping them climb back in obviously. I disagree on the relaxed effort since it is human nature to relax somewhat when You or team feels satisfied in their effort or being satisfied with a large lead in a competitive event.

If the offense doesn’t piss away at least 2 drives in the second half you wouldn’t have to blame the defense. Believe the defense helped put them in a good spot the first half to score those points.. I believe defense won the game as well… can’t expect any defense to hold up long to 6:00 15 play drives and then your offense going 3 and out.. Georgia is a good team, but Bama was better tonight.

Had a bunch of 3rd and 8 turn into 4th and 2 or 1. I lay this damn near catastrophe on the coaches. They like “we keep doing what we did 1st half we got em.” UGA like “we bout to stop this chit.” Thank god they spotted us 4 scores. Got a lot of work to do. Great win. Gut check at the end. Bama was toasted the 2nd half.

Pwyse, we are going to have to agree to disagree. The defense shut down the GA offense completely in the first half, had 3 picks, a forced fumble and recovery, including the game ending iNT. I’d call that pretty solid and game changing. Bama could not sustain a drive in the second half.

Bama’s offense played well in the first half but a large portion of the yardage, sustained drives, and points were attributable to GA freely allowing the quick screen passes which accounted for 10-12 of Milroe’s 18 first half completions. That and I don’t think they were even remotely prepared for Milroe’s speed. He simply ran right by them. Adjustments were made at the half and Bama’s offense could not move the ball effectively, run or pass, at all in the second half.

We were talking about different throws. You are 100% correct on the Williams throw in the 4th qtr. that was a back shoulder type throw on the sideline. I was describing Milroe’s longest completion in the first half. Sorry about the confusion. Some drinking might have started somewhere during the second half meltdown. Thought it was Williams but now that I think about it, I think that maybe it was Henderson. Milroe did not intentionally mean to leave that pass short and to the field side of the defender. Receiver was running down the hash, had a step on his man and had to slow down to come back for the ball and actually ducked back toward the center of the field and inside of the defender to make the catch. If he was throwing him open, the throw would’ve been over the top, slightly off hash, and to the sideline side away from the safety. To Milroe’s credit, he recognized the matchup and safety being out of position and made the correct throw but it was not a great one by any means. Receiver just made a tremendous adjustment and play on the ball. The iNT was a deflection, but it was a bad pass and well behind the intended receiver. Receiver had to reach all the way back across his body just to touch it and it deflected off his hand into the chest of the defender. The back shoulder in the 4th was a good ball too but the only truly exceptional throw he made tonight was on the wheel route for the TD in the first. It was a dang fine throw. On time and perfect placement. A true “dime” as CNC would say.

If the heisman is going to go to the best overall athlete in CFB, Milroe should win it. If it’s going to go to the most elusive and best running QB, Milroe should win it. No question about either, if that is the criteria. If it’s going to go to the Best passing QB, he’s not going to win it. Milroe is going to have a nice mix of both rushing and passing yards. He’ll have more rushing yards than the other QBs. The other QBs will have decent rushing yardage, but almost twice the passing yards that Milroe will have. Example: Ward has already thrown for 1800 yds and 18 Tds. Dart is right behind him. It’s honestly probably going to go to Milroe, Ward, Dart, or Ewers, depending on what the voters value most and whose team is still undefeated or still in the playoff picture, as of the time of voting. Travis Hunter is special too, but won’t have a real shot playing for CO. Milroe will have the promotional advantage due to Bama’s recent history/status as a top team, versus Miami, Ole Miss, Colorado or Texas.

I don't think we disagree as much as you think. The defense did play well the first half. Almost perfect. The offense played well the first half, almost perfect. The defense did help the offense in the first half. But the offense also gave the defense a 28 point cushion. When a team has a 28 point cushion, it doesn't matter how their offense plays in the second half, it's the defense's game to lose. When a defense gets 34 points scored on them I don't believe you can say the defense won the game for the team.

I agree on the pass play you are talking about, it was a bad ball. WR made a great play.

The heisman should go to the best player in college football. That is probably Travis Hunter. He won't win it because he is at Colorado as you said, which is a shame. Alabama has no advantage over the other teams you named. If Milroe continues to play as he is playing, scoring 4TDs a game while keeping his completion percentage up and his INT count down, he will win it. And he should win it. He is the most dynamic, TD scoring QB in college football. He is the toughest to defend against and that is obvious. I really believe it is his to lose.

Moments of greatness and moments of WTF. They won in the end and made plays when they had to. I’ll take it. RTR!

There was probably a little complacency going on by the Alabama players in the second half. Another big difference in Georgia’s success in the second half was all the “gutsy” fourth down conversions they made. Right now the Heisman is Milroes to lose but that may change ten times during the course of the season. I do agree that Travis Hunter is the best athlete in the country right now.

That wasn't a great pass by milroe on the last TD. That was a great catch by a great athlete. Any other receiver on that team doesn't make that catch and sure as hell doesn't make those moves to score. Better hope that kid stays healthy.

Bama’s offense played well in the first half but a large portion of the yardage, sustained drives, and points were attributable to GA freely allowing the quick screen passes which accounted for 10-12 of Milroe’s 18 first half completions. That and I don’t think they were even remotely prepared for Milroe’s speed. He simply ran right by them. Adjustments were made at the half and Bama’s offense could not move the ball effectively, run or pass, at all in the second half.

We were talking about different throws. You are 100% correct on the Williams throw in the 4th qtr. that was a back shoulder type throw on the sideline. I was describing Milroe’s longest completion in the first half. Sorry about the confusion. Some drinking might have started somewhere during the second half meltdown. Thought it was Williams but now that I think about it, I think that maybe it was Henderson. Milroe did not intentionally mean to leave that pass short and to the field side of the defender. Receiver was running down the hash, had a step on his man and had to slow down to come back for the ball and actually ducked back toward the center of the field and inside of the defender to make the catch. If he was throwing him open, the throw would’ve been over the top, slightly off hash, and to the sideline side away from the safety. To Milroe’s credit, he recognized the matchup and safety being out of position and made the correct throw but it was not a great one by any means. Receiver just made a tremendous adjustment and play on the ball. The iNT was a deflection, but it was a bad pass and well behind the intended receiver. Receiver had to reach all the way back across his body just to touch it and it deflected off his hand into the chest of the defender. The back shoulder in the 4th was a good ball too but the only truly exceptional throw he made tonight was on the wheel route for the TD in the first. It was a dang fine throw. On time and perfect placement. A true “dime” as CNC would say.

If the heisman is going to go to the best overall athlete in CFB, Milroe should win it. If it’s going to go to the most elusive and best running QB, Milroe should win it. No question about either, if that is the criteria. If it’s going to go to the Best passing QB, he’s not going to win it. Milroe is going to have a nice mix of both rushing and passing yards. He’ll have more rushing yards than the other QBs. The other QBs will have decent rushing yardage, but almost twice the passing yards that Milroe will have. Example: Ward has already thrown for 1800 yds and 18 Tds. Dart is right behind him. It’s honestly probably going to go to Milroe, Ward, Dart, or Ewers, depending on what the voters value most and whose team is still undefeated or still in the playoff picture, as of the time of voting. Travis Hunter is special too, but won’t have a real shot playing for CO. Milroe will have the promotional advantage due to Bama’s recent history/status as a top team, versus Miami, Ole Miss, Colorado or Texas.


I don't think we disagree as much as you think. The defense did play well the first half. Almost perfect. The offense played well the first half, almost perfect. The defense did help the offense in the first half. But the offense also gave the defense a 28 point cushion. When a team has a 28 point cushion, it doesn't matter how their offense plays in the second half, it's the defense's game to lose. When a defense gets 34 points scored on them I don't believe you can say the defense won the game for the team.

I agree on the pass play you are talking about, it was a bad ball. WR made a great play.

The heisman should go to the best player in college football. That is probably Travis Hunter. He won't win it because he is at Colorado as you said, which is a shame. Alabama has no advantage over the other teams you named. If Milroe continues to play as he is playing, scoring 4TDs a game while keeping his completion percentage up and his INT count down, he will win it. And he should win it. He is the most dynamic, TD scoring QB in college football. He is the toughest to defend against and that is obvious. I really believe it is his to lose.



Also I rewatched the first half. They threw 2 WR screens, zero RB screens, and that one double pass attempt that you might could say was a screen but it really wasn't. Milton got zero yards on that one, and around 10 on the other ones.
