Dylan Sampson

They were all over the place.

They had like two or three penalties on their first offensive possession, went three and out, and Tennessee was driving right down the field until Dylan Sampson fumbled.

And, you know, obviously the rest of the first half went the way it did, and it was only like 7-0 Alabama at halftime.

It was the worst half of football I've ever seen a person in my life.

I think it was Junior Sherrill turned that kickoff return for a touchdown.

Yeah, kickoff

return, and then Dylan Sampson fumbled like two plays later.

Oh, great.

hype has seen this before.

I don't know how it will look outside of there, but when you got to depend on the run game, and it's strong, and I think honestly, Dylan Sampson is a problem.

Bishop is a little problem.

Bishop is.

No, he's more of a problem-

Oh, I got you

... than Dylan Sampson was at that time.

A thousand percent.

But even with the loss of Wendell Moy and, and this offensive line being, you know, a work in progress I guess, to have him go for over 200 yards, I mean, uh, what's crazy, Eric, is he's already, what, 2,000 career rushing yards.

I think, you know, a couple more good games, he's gonna climb into the top 10 all time past Montario Hardesty, Dylan Sampson, Jay Graham.

I mean, i- if he keeps this up and stays healthy.

So, um, just talk about what Dylan Sampson, I mean, uh, or I'm sorry, Deshaun Bishop means to this team.

If I said Sampson, I'm confused the two.

But Deshaun Bishop, what he means to this team.

And Dylan Sampson was in the house for that Auburn win just a couple days ago.

[laughs]

I think as you get into this season, particularly over the last two weeks, you're going to manage games differently with the defense that you have.

I think we saw this a couple years ago with the Dylan Sampson team that you're going to play to your strengths of running the football and playing defense to win games.

And then I also think that they pivoted on offense last year, right? So they went away from the wide choice, air raid, whatever you want to call it, shoot, veer and shoot, into more of a pro style.

And that was to counter what they felt.

And instead, they're kind of like, you know what? We don't think you're quite ready.

And we have the SEC Offensive Player of the Year in Dylan Sampson.

We have a top 20 defense.

Just don't mess this up for us.
