And so you could just kind of tell it just wasn't clean today.

Yeah.

Just from the coaching eye looking in, I have to give coach linebacker the Alabama defense a lot of credit.

Brad Auburn did a great job disguising today.

They were a team-- I said when we played Missouri, Missouri didn't look comfortable playing quarters and cover two.

Alabama did.

And Alabama did it with a four-man rush and up front physically.

Was it different for you based on the team you had, or did you have something just kind of locked into your preferred-

And then they pressed up on their cornerbacks, and it all comes down to if you've got time to throw the football in that medium range.

That's what we said pregame.

That is what happened.

Now, Missouri did something, though.

It was fun for me to watch this game because Missouri came out and played quite a bit of cover four or read cover two, and so two high safety looks.

That's not what they do.

So, like in that second touchdown drive when we scored off the Tebow pass to Fluff, that whole drive, they were almost in a two-high shell, which is shocking.

So you want to say, well, how do you get back up and ready to play? I know it's Alabama, but – When does it start? Is it tomorrow getting the guys in and getting treatments? Because this is a pretty physical football

But – Man, he made some big-time throws there in the second quarter, got that momentum going, but he really faced adversity early on and turned the thing around.

He did.

I mean, that's the mark of a great quarterback.

He's young, but he's able to go on to the next play.

One thing I wanted to see that I did see.

If you remember, we talked in the pregame show board.

I thought out wide at wide receiver.

that was the cat and mouse game.

But, you know, going into the game, if you had told me that we would have had the football the same amount of time as Minnesota, I would have thought there had been no way.

I think that's a large part due to the fact that we got on them so quick early.

You know, in that second half they had to throw the ball a lot.

I don't think that's what they really wanted to do.

But the fact that you're down 28 to three and we're scoring at will, you know, from everywhere on the field, you know, I think kind of panic sets in at halftime for them.

And they're like, we've got to find a way to get back as quick as we can or this game's over.

And then they came out.

But when you go that long between snaps and then you've got to do it the four-yard line, that ain't easy.

I mean, when you start talking about 21-0 lead out of the gate, and you can look down there and tell about what Zach Arnett was doing defensively, and you use the term vanilla, okay? What does it mean by just kind of going vanilla?

Yeah, I really feel like Zach did a great job.

I thought the defense today, again – Of course, there's defensive coaches we talked about.

We'll never be happy when they get the mop-up yards or the mop-up points.

You know, we look at 16, you know, who sit there and say they got this many, they got 13 points, they did this.

But at the end of the day, I felt like the defense played really well.

I really did, you know.

this let's have the coach's moment here then as we go What did we say today that you would take exception to, or what would you correct?
