How is Hurts not the MVP?????????????

 

[Scapegoat]

Our defense was gassed, we needed more points, I can live with giving them the ball at midfield given their field position. The way our defense was playing in the 4th quarter, I think it's a safe bet Bama still scores if we punt it away, but we just don't have time enough to attempt a miracle.

I agree. Going for it wasn't a bad call.

Sorry Josh, but how is Jalen not the MVP.

 

[SignalBama]

Thank god the coaches pulled their heads out their tails in the 2nd half as well. They wasted opportunities and made bad play calls as well.

 

[tabascojet]

Tua seemed to be stressing to make plays tonight instead of taking what the defense gave him. Jalen took what the defense gave. It honestly to me was about maturity. Jalen knew what to take and Tua this game just tried to make big plays instead of taking what was there.

it wasnt 100% for weeks.....it effected his play from the start of the game

 

[dennis580]

I mean that is the craziest MVP selection i have ever seen.

Team sports are awesome.

 

[UNA Lion]

Still think UGA was the better team tonight

… but reversal of last time they faced each other … Kirby clearly hadn't war-gamed an insertion of Hurts.

Except basketball, hockey and soccer of course.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Still no QB contreversy,Tua gets healthy he is the guy against Oklahoma.

 

[UNA Lion]

No doubt.

UGA kicked us around in the 1st half on both lines, and for part of the 3rd. It was a gut check, no doubt.

I have no idea what the Committee will do, but I know 2 things. Georgia is one of the 4 best teams, and NOBODY wants to play them right now.

Yep, all respect to the Bulldogs.

I'd hate to see Bama have to face them again any time soon.

 

[RobBase]

JFC I dont even know how anyone can be mad about this. Alabama is motherfucking incredible. Im as tired of them as anyone else but fuck, how can you not appreciate how ridiculous this shit is

I kind of liked seeing Saban get choked up talking about Hurts. Shows a human side of him we don't usually get to see.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I agree. Going for it wasn't a bad call.

The actual play wasn't a bad call, but going for it wasn't. Fields caught the snap with 11 yards to make up, that's gotta be a pass play, but at the end of the day, I like the aggression. Didn't work out, but it's much better going down the way we did today than going down by turtling up and playing not to lose like we did last season.

 

[TheDayMan]

Georgia chokes again. That coach of there's is terrible. But really happy for Hurts after Saben fucked him last year in the championship game. Like a Hollywood script for the young man.

I think a different play works and then viewed as a great call.

Just a crazy stat from the game.

The teams combined for 4 fumbles. None of them resulted in turnovers.

That is weird.

Yeah, hadn't thought of that...how Tua getting put-out might have won the game for them.

Alabama got very lucky on their fumbles. I didn't know that in college you could fumble forward. I feel that's a bad rule.

 

[SignalBama]

Alabama lost the turnover battle 0-2 and still won that game. They ran into a kicker on a clear situation they would get a scoring opportunity. Just amazed how this team won tonight.
