Now, we move on to the next game: Tulane.
But Tulane is a pushover.
After what Bama did to Clemson, they are going to mop the floor with the Green Wave.
"We are pleased and proud of the way our players competed in the game. They played hard and were physical. They controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and that was probably a real key to the outcome of the game. We won the turnover battle and had a few more explosive plays but the bottom line is there are a lot of things that we can do better and that should be the focus on what we look forward to do. We had some unforced errors on offense that we need to clean up on a discipline standpoint. We certainly could have finished some things a little bit better at times and that is something that we will focus on. Defensively when they did make plays we made some mental errors in terms of who we covered and making adjustments. Those are ongoing things we always want to try and eliminate totally. In another area that we need to do a lot of work in and improve on is special teams. We just didn’t do a good job in kickoff coverage. We had some young guys run down the field and we didn’t really cover the kicks the way we should have all night. We didn’t adjust and make the corrections that we needed to make. We made them sometimes but didn’t execute them the way we wanted to. That is certainly something we need to improve on. The number one special team for us (last year) was kickoff coverage. The challenge for this team is to improve, show we can play with consistency, and perform well week in and week out. The challenge is to play to our level of capabilities and make a mental, physical and emotional commitment to playing to our capabilities relative to what we do and how we do it. That is something we need to prove we can do. That consistency was not something that we have shown that we can do and certainly something we need to work on if we are going to try and be a team that plays with consistency in terms of the way we compete.
I applaud the performance of the Tide and remind all that good things are just ahead. Please be patient until those things come consistently. Roll Tide!
Also, I remind all others teams to watch out. Soon and very soon this Crimson squad will be your worst nightmare!
