That’s exactly what I mean! U r spot on; go back & watch that game (if u can stomach it)...we were blow for blow w/ them. Let’s not forget how trash Burrow was in 2018. Yeah we know how he turned out w/ better tutelage, but prior to Brady, Burrow was a game mgr & in that first game, iirc, we held Buddy to less than 50% passing, less than 200 yrds passing & 0 TDs passing. We shot ourselves in the foot w/ dumb penalties (a theme that would occur that season), stupid, stupid TO’s (a theme that would occur that season), and **** poor ST efforts (a theme...u get the point)
We play a sound fundamental game, again at MINIMUM, we make this game respectable. If this veteran team plays as undisciplined we played in that LSU game or how we ended the season last yr, then Lord have mercy on all of us. If anything, they should be hella motivated to take out their frustrations on how the season ended & right the wrong perception.
IF this program is headed in the right direction, then we DON’T get blown out by a bunch of youngsters on that O. We don’t allow a freshman QB, who’s seen a couple of mop of duty action, torch us. Idgaf how strong Bama line is; we don’t allow an unproven RB to run down our throats, and we sure as **** better not allow those unproven WRs (exception being Metchie) to light us up on YACs.
Again, I don’t care if we L (not like that, I always care), but we’re playing the #1 Team on paper. We’re supposed to be so improved & this is the most vulnerable Bama has been in about 4 yrs! Go out there, play sound, and at minimum we make them sweat.
