Watching Bama spring game, we win if...

[troyskiles]

something happens to Bryce Young between now and Sept. 4. The other QB (Baker or Barker) looked like **** in the spring game. I think we might win anyways, but with out Young, I think Bama is in trouble if they have to to go to QB2.

That’s their walk-on. The backup is Tyson. Backing him up is Milroe (who sat out).

He looked like **** well, because, he’s a 4th string walk on going against 4 and 5 star 2nd and 3rd teamers.

Thought the same thing.

I also saw that Bama didn’t have a drop off in WR talent. Hall as a TF showed incredible hands & body control. They also have a real TE threat. Bama’s OL, ironically, looked the most suspect I’ve seen in a while. We can do some things w/ pressure against them, at first glance.

Young’s legs can be a problem for us. There’s a reason SC fans were mucho bitter at Helton for letting him slip to Bama. I don’t recall too much from their running game, as my focus was on Young. Bama also looked very fast...but, I like our chances to give them a run.

If we get blown out the building by this version of Bama, talent for talent it wouldn’t be on the players as opposed to the coaching staff. No, we don’t have the same exact talent as Bama, but w/ our age, and the talent we do have, we’re in the area. Should make them sweat, at the very least.

Agree Rellyrell, TE and TF WR looked pretty good. I hope we can make them sweat at the least. I want to win against those *******.

 

[Boarcane]

we beat their asses! I’ll keep beating the drum. We are back. If Don’s 100% they’re ****ed

 

[JD08]

We know they reload. We need to play at our very best and let the chips fall where they may.

I think they will take a step back offensively and that gives us a chance....but I don't think we can block their outside rushers. If we can at least slow them down a little we could make it a game. JMO

I agree on Hall, he looks special early but I disagree about the drop off. Our veteran and talented secondary has played a TON of ball. Their WRs do not scare me one bit going up against our guys. None of their projected starters are sure thing day 1-2 guys like they have had each of the past what seems like 5 years. Their young guys, like Hall etc may be that in a year or 2 but as of the guys they will roll out there on 9/4, are not a threat to me.


Their running backs from an individual standpoint don’t really scare me either and are a drop off from what they have had recently, but just their physicality and rushing attack in general will be a problem for us because of our 2nd level guys. I just don’t see it with Bryce Young yet either, maybe it’s just me.

Our only chance against Bama is their trenches not being as dominant as usual & them coming out flat early while we hit the ground running right out the gate. Its encouraging to hear they didn't look as nasty as usual up front in their spring game, but I'm sure they're still head & shoulders above us inside. Just gotta bring our ultimate A game in Atlanta.

 

[dukebeeasy305]

If Miller ford Nesta and hunte are the D tackles.. I like our chances.. we have to stop the run in order to win this game.. also please start Rivers and Donaldson at guard

 

[JHallCanes]

Gotta be at least +2 maybe +3 in turnovers.

Yeah. We will need A LOT to go our way for sure

I’m not a gloom person but we haven’t shown up in a game like this in years and maybe only once in like 15

Bama is on a completely different stratosphere when it comes to talent and coaching

I admire people that can still do this to themselves, but I just can’t

 

[L A M P]

All we can ask is to play our best & come out healthy.

 

[DemCanesByke]

They held out 20+ players is what they said on the spring game. Another key will be stopping all of those short passes like the quick out and the TE

25,000 posts and I’m not sure why you can’t accept the fact that we are deep, senior ladened, fast and talented. I’m curious, who are we capable of beating in your opinion?

I thought both Holden & Hall looked really good & aggressive at attacking the ball, and their TE has been the talk of their spring camp, and he looks the part. But again, it’s context when I say “no drop off” regarding their WRs. I’m saying it is as a reload standpoint. Remember, they still have Metchie. But no; they are not touting out Waddle, Metchie, and Smith.

That’s why I ended my overall statement by saying we should not get ran out the building vs. this version of Bama. “Talent for Talent” we should at the VERY LEAST put fear in them losing. If we get blown out, it will not be from a talent standpoint. We got the talent to play w/ this Bama team.

And Young is a more polished Hurts, imo.

LB’s are where I am concerned right now. I’m also not sure how the DL will be. If we get some portal help - at least at LB - that’ll make a difference.

Pretty much everyone but Bama and Clemson

The LB’s are fast, technically sound and 210/215. We’re not big, but we are fast, can cover and tackle. The DE position will be fine once Leonard gets here. I said it when he committed, he will play primarily DE his freshman year.

Yeah not really sure how what I said could be so misunderstood

we can be a **** good, improved, talented team and still not be able to beat Bama

And I won’t turn it into a Manny bashing thread but cmon....who has the advantage Saban or Manny with all this time to prepare?

Or is watching us fail in these moments repeatedly just ignored?

anyway...this will be the most excited ive been for a Cane team in....man I can’t even remember

I’m ready. But Bama is just a different beast is all not sure how that’s controversial

We’re capable of beating everyone but the two best teams in the country over the last half decade,.... I guess we don’t suck. If we can beat everyone else, we can beat them too. We are overlooked and underrated, even by our own fans. Thanks Pal
