*****GAME THREAD: #1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas Longhorns*****

[Billybass]

I’m wondering if the little12 conference told the refs to lean on Texas. 
if so, probably going to be a long year.

on another note, the game Saturday was electric . So exciting ! Watched the Cowboy game last night, seemed like the fans were asleep. 
What a difference !

Sooner fan here.. Must say texas looks good in the secondary. And seeing quinn go down made me sick, texas wins that game with ease if he doesnt. Card played really well, was hoping yal would have pulled it out, but no shame in that game at all. hopefully quinn is back for the rrs. I know espn has been saying 4-6, hoping its sooner. Kid will be a legend at texas.  Looking forward to a game for the record books.

Another poster on this site posted a still picture that showed Young's shin down before he rolled over Sweat and let the ball go. According to that picture, he should have been down by rule. Tough to see that live but it should have been caught by replay. Either way, execute better in the red zone and it could be a moot point.

I think they were reviewing the targeting only so the refs could only make a call on that. I don't think they are allowed to make other changes to the play unless their is an official review for him being down. At least that is my take on reviews.

Refs were terible every one agrees. Lots of no calls could have changed game.

Horns lost thierQB on a play IMO should have never been called.

Java in all respect Young was hit not real hard by Overshown. It a football play. But now days on a QB its a penality normaly. Do not agree but its modern football.

Over an done need a QB ready for UTSA. A loss there and Bama game effort is for naught.

Young was not hit by Overshown. Overshown led with his hands and hardly touched Young. Your next trip to the bathroom will be more like roughing the passer than that was.

facts. gotta keep that same bama energy for utsa. team shows ton of improvement though, from the eyes of a sooner if that means anything. It seems hiring patterson was a smart smart move defensively.

Well guys, I was in the stands for this one and DKR was rocking. This one hurts but proud as hell of our guys. Here's to hoping that they build off this win and bring that elevated effort the rest of the season.

 

[Billybass]

Another thing that I noticed on rewatching the game was outstanding play from pure freshman Kelvin Banks. 
 

That dude is a baller !!!!

 

[Eastexhorn]

Over and done except for this final thought. Only sole of foot can touch the turf. Rest of foot ankle etc. player is down. I have saw a lot oftip toes never called. Why not?

the toe is considered the sole of the shoe. therefore its legal.

We can agree to disagree on this. Card is a future Buchelle or Garrett or Simms of a guy. He was perfectly capable of being a dual threat as we saw Saturday. That's not what Sark is looking for, he wants the QB when asked to pass 1st, and not scramble across the line of scrimmage without looking again for options, and then get a 1st down (which Card did twice and Quinn has yet to do). There is also a mis- conception about Quinn's long range ability. His long is 46 and Worthy had to make a huge adjustment to snag it. Card's long is 42 and he laid it perfect on the outside to Dijon, who had turned to the inside and made a great catch spinning back around. That's it for this team, 2 long shots landed. The middle and short game were mostly chip shots for both. The plays called were not the same, and that's on Sark, and likely cost us the game.

 I'm not saying Quinn isn't special, but I think they both are. My fear is Quinn will be an int. machine since he makes quick releases before the receiver is ever open, hoping to throw them open. 

 

[Eastexhorn]

After reading Sark's report on Wright he might be better than both. Time will tell and soon.

He's thrown one INT and you're afraid he's an INT machine.

Card limped all over the field Saturday. I wouldn't exactly call that "dual-threat." Sark himself said he had to change his game plan due to Card's lack of mobility.

Ewers was 11 of 13 for 136 yards in one quarter.

No, they weren't equally special.

I tip my hat to Card for the gutty performance.

Open practice was an interception fest with QB1 and QB2. Wright was in the full rotation, I only recall 1 by him.

Wut?

You realize the game is on tape right? We saw it. The game plan changed long before Card was hurt. If he has trust issues, he's the head coach.

The last paragraph shows your total lack of understanding of quarterback play and football. If you want to play qb you have to throw to where the receiver is going before he’s there and before he’s open. You know where he’s going the defense doesn’t. If you wait til he’s open you’ll be sacked or he’ll be so far downfield you can’t hit him.  That’s the problem with indecisive QBs.
