Moving the ball and scoring is what we need to do against the big boys.. we had plenty of opportunities last year against Clemson last year but never got it going offensively
By “opportunities” do you mean just times with the football?
We got sacked on the first play of the game. Had a false start on the 3rd. Sacked to end the drive.
Sacked on the 2nd drive and gained -9 yards en route to a 3 and out.
3 and out gaining 5 yards on the 3rd drive.
We did have a first and 10 at their 22 on the 4th drive. Immediately lost 3, no gain, incomplete pass to a kid with two left hands, field goal.
3 and out on the last drive of the half, and they were kicking a FG to make the game 24-3 at the break, which we luckily blocked and returned for a TD to make it a game.
Our first 12 plays of the football game gained a total of 1 yard. That’s an average of 3 inches per play. Three inches.
At the half we had run 21 plays for 59 yards. We also had 4 penalties, 3 of them presnap. I was there. Their front 7 literally made our kids hold their pocket and walked around the field. We were absolutely flat dominated. In the 2nd half, there were chances for plays. I’ll give you that. Which our outside WRs immediately puked on themselves when afforded the opportunity to make a said play.
What’s done is done. Can’t go back. But we need to be WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY tougher across the board next weekend if we’re going to score on Bama’s defense.
