Quick hits from RebelGrove:
Review of the game, not a lot different than after the game that night. Had a chance and had them on the ropes and have to make plays. He did throw us one and we dropped the interception. Have to make that play. Two fumbled snaps, but especially the second one with us running a play where Kenny was in the flat and it would have been a touchdown, the linebacker was looking the wrong way. It would have tied it up and kept pressure on them. Had a chance to beat them. We're getting started and a lot of work to do. Just the beginning.
I've never known the signals. Didn't even know that when I was there. I love Saban and have respect for him, but that wouldn't even help us. We call the play before they do anything. It wouldn't do us any good. By time they would relay it, we're already snapping the ball. People do it. It's not illegal. But it's for people who play slower. We did not do that. It doesn't make any sense.
Briles won't know our signals. Our defensive signals are the least of our worries. We have to tackle better and make more plays.
Confidence is fragile and our defense is struggling and we're playing great players. It's hard. It take a part of a game to play well and gain some confidence. This week hopefully we can get it back. What's in the past doesn't matter. Each week we'll play and see what happens. I look for us to be better on defense this weekend.
We do tackling in practice. We continue to work on it. This isn't an excuse, but defenses are struggling around the country. Maybe spring ball is more important for defense. Who knows. But we have to get better.
We hosted a bunch of recruits virtually. It's hard right now so we're doing everything we can think of. We may not meet any of these kids in person before they sign. The last three weeks recruiting feedback is a whole lot better. Kids are excited about our energy and the way we are playing. And on defense they can see we need players and they know they can help us win. On offense they know they can come here and know we'll have those numbers. A lot of good kids going on right now.
I don't want to rat poison the guy, but it's A plus. Matt has been excellent. He had no spring. This is all new for him. He was in a QB competition. He's not a third year starter in our system.
Haven't heard anything about the dead period ending sooner.
It was painful to kick that field goal, but it was too long. We were in fourth down mode the whole fourth quarter. We weren't going to punt, so that was painful to kick the field goal. It was good for Luke to see one go in.
We had conversations with Arkansas last December about the job. I knew their A.D. They have a lot of good young players on offense. They're doing a great job. They could have easily won against Auburn after losing 20 straight SEC games before beating State.
Hope to have Jacquez Jones back this weekend. We missed him.
