Sunday Hangover: South Florida

That was a frustrating three and half quarters of football to watch last night. 

With a reshuffled offensive, the Tide did not look good at all. With the starting left guard playing left tackle and the back-up right tackle starting, it was a flag fest with the right tackle picking up four holding calls by himself.

There were two touchdowns that were called back because of penalties.

And that was just in the first half. 

In the second half, Alabama had three fumbles that put the defense in tough positions on the field. 

Once the starting right tackle Pritchett came into the game, everything seemed to click. And the Crimson Tide pulled away. 

I'm concerned about the trip to Madison to play Wisconsin, especially if Proctor is still out.

Sunday Hangover: South Florida

That was a win that doesn't inspire much confidence in Alabama making the playoffs. 

If the Tide can only muster a meager win against the Bulls of USF, I think we're in for a rocky season in the SEC. 

Buchner got the start and looked shaky at best. They finally went to Ty Simpson in the game. He did okay. 

But just okay is not good enough if you want to challenge to win the SEC West. 

I'm worried. 

Based on what I've seen, I think they either go back to Milroe or stick with Simpson. 

The shining light on the shit show that was yesterday's game was Roydell Williams. He had an outstanding game, racking up 129 net yards. He may take over as first back in the game when Alabama plays Ole Miss. 

The Tide has to improve and do so soon.
