bama's loss... our gain?

[gtpi]

ive not followed bama at all. i usually dont. i do know they are not as good a team as they have been in the past. yay. not a fan.

did their losing brent key affect them this year? i sure hope so. anything we can do to dislodge any an all sec teams in the national championship game so works for me. startin with ugag.

I think like every program there are cycles. I started feeling after their beat down in the Natl Championship last year, that their cycle may slowly be running its course.

It always hurts when you lose a starting QB. But I’m wondering how many seasons Saban has left in his tank? I would just retire with my millions.

Losing Brent Key isn’t the reason their defense is mediocre (in Bama terms) this year. Their offense is incredibly potent and scored 45 points against Auburn.

Losing their best defensive player and a probable All-American at LB before the season started probably didn’t help their defensive causes much.

Bama is going no where. They lost the best linebacker in the country during preseason practice. They then lost Tua. And still won 10 games. Bama will simply reload but LSU won’t.

It seems like us losing Bulovas was more of a factor.

Bulovas could have been a hero multiple times over here

Everybody has a down year. Injuries, guys moving on and their replacements being just a tick worse. Bama's down year happens to be 10-2. But as long as they are pulling in top 2 classes, they will still be a playoff contender every year.

Did he miss an important FG for them a couple of years back...maybe in SEC championship or NC in the Benz?

 

[MWBATL]

he had a terrible night kicking in Tiger Stadium 2 years ago (LSU) , but Bama still won the game. I think he missed 2 or maybe even 3 FG's....

Not really. You need to make Fg's to be a hero...here, there or anywhere else. I can't think of any reason a kicker would be any better or worse at school X than school Z. It's not like Atlanta is at a higher altitude than Alabama.

He hit the only FG last year in that game. He missed two PATs in that game though. Overall, he is about 75% on FGs with a long of 49. He has missed 8 PATs in two years. He is about 94% on PATs. King is about 53% on FGs and 95% on PATs. Neither is excelling.

He Hit 75 percent over the past two seasons. The fact that his kickoffs are almost always touch backs would have won us a couple more games

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

He missed the kick that would have tied the game and most likely sent it to overtime. He really is not one of the better place kickers in America. You won't see his name as a Lou Groza nominee.

Go Jackets!

 

[DvilleJacket]

I'd gladly take him over what we got at the moment!

Higher altitude helps with kicking.

Edit, I read what you were saying wrong.

Not that it matters, but Atlanta is about 800 feet higher altitude than Tuscaloosa.
