Formby should have been pulled way earlier in the game. I'm not talking bad about Formby. He just isn't ready.
ROLL TIDE! ❤❤
Agree. I had high hopes for him, and still do, but he simply isn't ready.
100 percent agree but i think they wanted him to gain some game experience… the 2 guys ahead of Formby on the depth chart were both injured
Yep, we learned what we needed to know. Elija filled the execution gap for us.
@johnathantroxtel1502 amen to that! Hopefully, he learns and gets better! RTR!
This time delay to make the change goes back to teh head coach. SHould have been start of 2nd half.
He made an immediate difference man what a difference
Say difference one more time😂
Or also maybe south Florida was wore out???
Pritchett was injured with a hurt ankle. Coaches were trying to hold him out so he would be ready for next week. The coaches asked if he could go a few minutes and he said yes. Coaches can’t be blamed for not playing him earlier. No one knew Formby would have that kind of game. Remember we were all saying how good Formby was just last week. Pritchett was criticized last week as the weak link when he started at left tackle.
I agree. This dude is clowning himself with his shortsightedness.
I agree. I think being fresh late in the game also had a lot to do with it.
He was probably pushing around a USF player who was exhausted from playing all game.
Yep! A Coach can’t win. .had he gotten hurt, the very same people would say “He shouldn’t have been playing. SO many armchair folks thinking they know better the Coaches “should have done”-
Exactly! Thia guy is clueless.
Agree. We are too much in the moment as fans and media. The coaches see these guys work all week. Under the circumstances the right decisions were made. We won, and now we have the best chance for a completely healthy line this week, and when our friends the Dawgs come calling. DeBoer has not gotten where he is by not letting the best players play. Sometimes they have to grow on the field. Should Milroe have been pulled after he got sacked, fumbled, etc in favor of Simpson? No, it’s way too early in the season to be overly-reactive. We all have to remember, this is a different game now. You MUST play the long game so you have the best depth and experience rolling into the playoffs.
E. Pritchert needs a game ball.
ABSOLUTELY 💯👏👏
EP came in and did his thing..... Straight monster... His first block was a PANCAKE block, His play woke up J. Roberts.
Or also maybe south Florida got tired???
@@JoshRumsey-w4ygot tired the exact play he came out 😂 ok sure that it
I like Pritchett he is a great player ❤Roll tide Roll
Formby was USFs MVP.
Did not have a good game.
Facts 😆
Some mistakes are just the basics that any player should have learned long before this level.
Why wasn't Formby benched in the first quarter? Formby is so bad, why was he ever put on the field?
Lol😂
The thing everybody seems to forget is you can only use all those weapons if you have time to throw. If every time Milroe goes back, there’s three guys in his face. It’s kind of hard to go through progressions and it’s not like it just started this year. It was the same thing with the offensive line last year, which is disappointing because we were led to believe all through camp that the line was going to be a strength.
I still believe it is
Exactly! I was extremely disappointed in the O-line. I thought they were going to be so great . They were not great Saturday.
All summer long steven was hyping the oline up and laying it on thick. Then the first sign of trouble he throws one guy under the bus even though none of the online played well. With guys like this reporting on the games who needs enemies..
There were 2 guys on the offensive line that would have started if not injured. One didn’t play. One played about 1/2 of 1 quarter. Hopefully the O-line is at full strength the rest of the season 🤞.
75 looked lazy and unsure about his assignments.
Still doesn’t deny the fact y’all kept fumbling and kept getting o-line penalty’s from the whole offensive line
The change at right tackle made a big difference, but I also believe South Florida was wearing down some. I noticed Bama was using a lot of players throughout the game. It may have saved them in the end
Formby was in the game and got away with a hold on the Kobe Prentice TD.
It was obvious Formby was struggling from the start. He should have been replaced earlier.
If Pritchett is hurt what can we do the coach can’t risk the man career for a suppose to be cupcake game
The run game looked great in the 4th quarter. Reminded me of Trent Richardson running behind that big OL.
Preach my brother! Why wasnt it fixed at halftime. You cant sit there and do nothing. I feel like deboer is a little too laid back on being more strict.
Because he was already like a third stringer since other linemen were injured. Plus, the players need experience, if he takes a player out the moment they mess up every time, then they'll never know how to grow or handle adversity. Saban and most coaches do the same honestly
It's like he got all this talent
Saban didn't fix the center last year and had ALL Season to do it.
Deboer has never had a team like this especially taking over after the goat nick saban
It's called injury. Not rocket science.
I hate this for Formby! I really am pulling for the kid getting better. Grateful for the win, though, RTR!
They should move him to guard
@@rickhollis6896 They should move him to junior college.
They should move him to the Transfer Portal…
The entire coaching staff FAILED the players this past game. That's the part I don't like
To be fair, Pritchard came in the game very late when the USF defense was understandably tired.
75 penalties took 14 point off the board!! We had 2 TDs taken back! As a Bama Born fan the penalties are insane every game .. but most time we still win!! ❤RTR
Ya our dbs were getting smoked lets be honest
3 plays, Deion Sanders was in my opinion the best dB. He wouldn't be great if it wasn't for his defensive line putting pressure on the quarterback. Alabama doesn't do that but they need to start.
Plus all the dbs being rotated is not a good idea
@@Nacovywoo True
Facts, if usf had a qb who could make the throws
@@Nacovywoo everyone needs snaps
let the team develop before you coach coaches start lmao
it was the 2nd game with a brand new system take it easy alabama can afford a down year
worry more about flags than the rotation you actually dont know shit about
Jam miller needs to be getting more touches than Justice Haynes. They’re both good but I believe jam is better
@@riri6975 I think they prefer the more shifty back than moreso a downhill runner. This offense is designed for such
Miller is better period
Jam looks like he's running angry now. He's running hard, and holy shit he's stout!! I like the way he's running.
Yes! I agree
Jam miller fumbled the football.
I just could not undertand why #75 could not get it & stop what he was doing smh!
These WRs starving
You're right, Milroe is a running back masquerading as a quarterback.
How is Wisconsin line. Are the any good
@@ericrichardson1139 No, Wisconsin is trash, but they will give Bama a close game. Bama is doomed until they get a competent coach.
@adambaum9732 Milroe is awful. Doing the same painful crap like last year. Holding the ball too long, taking unnecessary sacks and can't throw consistent immediate passes to sustain a drive. He just wants to run and throw deep balls. And only hits those receivers if their wide open. I wish we had time to change quarterbacks. We just don't though. Roll Tide Roll
@@oscarevans3966yep….when he chooses to run it out of bounds for a loss, it makes his pass completion rate look pretty good.
#75 will be ok. He had a bad game but he wasn’t the only one. When we get proctor and Pritchett healthy, look out. The truth is that had their QB hit those wide open receivers it wouldn’t have mattered if what the O-line did.
Fax
We still would’ve won so who cares
Pritchett just solidified his status 🐘
Proctor being hurt the first game messed up the o line. First game they moved Prichett to left tackle but was injured before this game. This game Booker was at left tackle and Formby was at right. Booker isn’t an outside lineman. So the O-line was all sorts of messed up. Saying Pritchett should’ve been in the game from the start isn’t right though. He was injured and we need him more against Wisconsin. USF on paper should’ve been a tough but not like it was game. If Proctor can come back in at left tackle and everyone can move back to their respected positions I believe this can be a good o line.
I truly believe Coach Saban is going to meet with the coaches and players on Monday.
You are so right stephen I seen that Pritchett yes it was Roll tide L.A.N.K
The comparison from game 1 to game 2, was Pritchett for several reasons.
Prichett was able to effectively punch & move up to the second level.
The o-line gelled when he arrived. Combo blocks were more accurate, when they called for a pulling tackle like the first game, they were in sinc. Pass blocks were not pushed back into the pocket. Run blitzs were fit at the line of scrimmage. Vs WKU, the same o-line was there that had been practicing all month. Then proctor got hurt, & Prichett stepped in. Only one man replaced. But when both proctor & Prichett went down after game1 they reshuffled the whole o-line. No continuity. They struggled. Milroe was trying to pass with formby in his lap, usually off platform. Our running backs who made hay in the b-gap all last week. Couldn't get out of the mud. There was no offensive rythem, therefore, no joy. After Prichett came in, we looked unstoppable, like we did last week.
Thanks!
Greatly appreciated, thank you!
Man USF was in obvious blitz situations and still no screen pass to offset that & this is our 3rd OC in 3 years #Damn
Excellent review Stephen. Have missed your reviews.
The O line issues caused at least one TD to get called back, too. Prichett looked good out there.
Preach on brother
If anything, the coaches should be criticized for underestimating USF and thinking they could run a basic offense with a reshuffled Oline. NEVER underestimate your opponent. That quarterback did the same thing against a Saban defense last year with 80+ yards
On any given Saturday, any team can be beat look at Notre Dame yesterday.
Coach will have to adjust his game planning to account for every team “getting up” for Alabama. We’ve seen it for years…average teams playing better and harder because they’re playing Alabama. The mentality for facing opponents shouldn’t necessarily be to just outscore them , but also to break their will to compete as early in the game as possible. That way, when mistakes or injuries happen, the games are more likely to be more than just a one possession difference. They don’t rally. This is the key; break their will.
That was my exact observation! As soon as fromb left the game, we saw an instant turnaround❤🐘.
Remember Pritchett was hurt, they didn’t want to play him but they had to. But Formby can improve and can clean up the mistakes. That said, Prichett did make a 1000 percent difference and was the key to Bama pulling away. RTR
Remember in '15 we played Wisconsin to start up our 🏆run can we do it again in'24
The next game I coach will be my first but I can tell you Prichett has to be somewhere on that field this game coming up. If not the day could get long with a sad flight back to T town. Let's go guys.
Exactly Stephen I was 👀for the TE'S because of USF PASSRUSH
yeah bless that guys heart he just wasnt fast enough to keep those guys out the backfield...by half time i was about to break my tv...everyone hnew what had to happen...even my wofe who dont know football called his number....roll damn tide
Pritchett was the man… I never seen one man change a game like he did…. As far as the defense goes… they only gave up 16 points from a fast paced offense. Bama just have to clean up the mistakes and penalties.
Initially, I was worried about how they seemed unable to stop the running QB. However, they must have made some adjustments because the defense started keeping him in check.
I sure hope Coach Saban talks to them
They have coaches. Don’t worry
@@sunson1491 they sure didn't act like it😌😌
It also helped the RBs is that USF decided they couldn't win so they emptied their bench. Pritchett was better than Formby no doubt, but the whole line was crap Sat nite.
O line coach needs to be fired and then the head coach needs to go also.
ROLL TIDE ROLL from Columbus Georgia!
You’re exactly right!!! Roll Tide..🐘🏈💪🏾😎
Keep #75 away from our line at all cost that dude was a serious liability 🏈
Keep up the great work Stevo👍 Blessings to yah bro 🫡
Very good points Stephen. Did not realize Elijah Pritchett had such an impact, which is very encouraging, if, if, Kaden Proctor can play against Wisconsin. ROLL TIDE!!!!
Don’t understand why he was left in
IMO...the coaches really need to get the backups READY !! If one guy can make this much of a difference, they really need to get these backups ready to play!
ROLL TIDE!!
🐘🐘🐘🐘
The intangible aspects are things I saw a lot of people missing about Formby's poor performance. By that I mean that by the middle of the 2nd quarter, the ENTIRE right side of the field is no man's land. Backs not bouncing to the right because they don't trust him, Jalen can't roll to the right because he can't trust him, eventually somebody on SF's sideline caught on and now Formby is catching a blitz package on every single play and now they've forced Alabama totally abandon an entire side of the football field. Everyone at my house wanted to talk about a bunch of nonsense about music at practice or ice cream trucks making guys lose focus while I'm sitting their screaming "NO the right tackle hasn't made a block all night!"
USF game like last years game showed us what is best for Bama! Last year showed that Milroe is the guy and this year showed what is best for Bama on the O-line!
Great points made! #RollTideRoll #BamaGirlInCali ❤
Scholarship check on number 75!!!!! 😂😂😂
Im glad they put him in but he was also fresh playing some tired dudes. Maybe we should switch the whole line in the 4th quarter.
It's easy to Sunday Morning QB but dam! I believe #75 will get better but he was not ready for this game. Should have been out after the second hold and for dam sure after the third.
He needs to get ready! If he is back up then he needs to be as ready to play as the starter is. If he's not ready then he shouldn't be in uniform. Imo.
ROLL TIDE!!
Not to best a dead horse,but this goes back to last season!!!! The O-line will be a season long problem,need a dog-type O-line coach that's going to "put the wood to the fire" from the get go.Period
We had one but Grubb’s bitch ass took him to Seattle with him
Roll Tide Nation Roll!!! 💪💪💪
20/20 hindsight is a great thing. DeBoer was right to err on the side of caution for Pritchett due to his injury. Had he been hurt in the game if he had started, you would have been screaming PLAYED TO EARLY. It is a long season and a thin offensive line. In DeBoer I trust. Poor Fornby will be good. Just not ready yet. We got the W. I still say Milroe is a great running back. I just wish we would play our quarterback, Simpson. But the fake sports news LOVES him and team politics is what it is.. It is what it is. Roll Tide.
Steve make sure you mention this when you ask a question at the next press conference!
I love Kobe Prentice too and Jam Miller also Ryan Williams with Pritchett are dogs man them boys are NFL Quality
Nothing but facts...ROLL TIDE
I like Coach but don't wait so long to adjust we aint got time to be experimented offensive lineman
DeBoer should have made the change earlier and that is something he will have to do quicker.
EP definitely is a better player at right tackle, i hate fans really don't understand the game, USF receivers did get open but our D line did play good football and had pressure into QBs face so it didn't matter ,we just have a lot to work on as a team and hopefully we'll be better once we get into SEC play 👍
# 57 has to started at RT . You can get away with playing # 52 at LT until # 74 gets healthy .
One simple change makes it tough again!
I’m more worried about this sunbelt conference 335 defense and the inability to stop the run, yet still letting receivers get behind the secondary with 5 DBs
You missed number 77 ro he was brought in late too. Roberts is a beast
We all saw it! But, he was still considered injured. They were forced to put him in and take a chance.
People really need to realize when Elijah came in, it was at the very end of the game and for like 6 plays
Roll tide baby Roll ❤️ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It made a huge difference
Pritchett, "The Game Changer." So, he made the decision himself and not the coaches?
The coaches decided to put him out there, but he was pressing them to get on the field. He was banged up with an ankle issue in practice, but he wanted to be out there.
@@Univeralas Gotcha! Thanks 👌
It's called adversity.....youth-freshmen are learning-off line shuffled due to injuries... matters BIGTIME. WE found a way to win a game when we had people hurt. THE coaches are learning as well. You can bet the farm that they have this game constantly on/breaking it down,and will get better,
If you win every game by one point.... AS well as
You dont eat your own.
Everyone saying it’s Deboers fault is wrong. EP was injured and he didn’t want to play him not at 100%. It was a scare but it is what it is
If they don't fix the issues in the next week, they are going to see loses coming into SEC play.
I told my mother you know why we scored those last 2 TD'S it's because we made a change at RT but the refs made some iffy calls
They said that Pritchett was injured. Why risk him getting more banged up. It came down to a desperate move. Glad he put him.
Preach it! Not sure what the coaching staff was thinking at half time. Roll Tide.
We obviously have tons of potential but man that was a rough game.
You are right, but we better get some better back ups in case Prichard gets hurt.
One would think that Offensive Line was a skill position or something.
Yes, it's what I played.
Yes, I will always be a bit salty about the "skill position" thing.
Roll Tide Roll
I guess that RT debate is over. Pritchett is #1 and Formby is #2.
We will get it right‼️
If you can see it, anyone can! Roll Tide!
I saw a poll before the opener about who should start at RT for Bama... Formby or Pritchett and just about EVERYBODY chose Formby....well Formby should kiss that job goodbye 👋
HE PLAYED GOOD FOR THE TIME.. BUT HE WAS THE FRESHEST MAN ON THE FIELD...
I said this after that touchdown was called back for his hold. Which was a weak call to begin with, but he was the weak link and it was so obvious early. I do feel bad for Formby but he needs to use his strength rather than his hands so much. I think a lot of people saw this early in this game.
One point. If USF QB had been accurate with his passes, it would be crying time!
When he came out - the first play was a run and the goddamn hole was so big you could have fit my f150 through it lmao I looked at my dad and said 'its cause he's hurt - I guess....' Cause he was looking at me like 'why the fuck wasn't he out there?'
I was saying all game Pritchett must be dinged up otherwise he would have been in there after the second holding call on 75! Replace that one player and we have 14 points more on the board.
No offense intended to Mr. Formby, but the OLine changed markedly for the better when he was replaced.
Formby almost single handily lost the USF game for Alabama. Formby had so many penalties that killed drives. He needs to find someplace else to play !!!
Eli Pritchett the man
Geezus Stephen it was the second game they just like any Championship Team it’s a Process.
If Formby didn't have anything going for him as a high school recruit, why is he there?
Honestly Prichett coming in didnt have anything to do with what happened at the end of the game. On both long td runs he had a te and H back to his side along with pulling pur guard and center on those plays. All EP had to do was block down. As far as pass pro im not sure he was in for a play where he was in pass protection. The quick hitch to Williams EP was actually run blocking so maybe it was a rpo or Milroe just decided to get it out there quick before we could get a penalty on lineman downfield because he has Roberts both were run blocking. Prichett or Forby those late long runs happen with either guy in
Kid was not ready but somethings can't be helped due to injuries but give Formby more time to develop
Formby isn't ready to play. I watched Pritchett on the replays of the scoring plays and his footwork, hand placement, body position, and blocking skill were light years above where Formby is now. Formby is just a big strong kid lacking experience. He needs more skill training before he is ready to play.
Some of those holding calls were questionable.
