Welp, that was enjoyable. They have fantastic athletes everywhere on this team and probably 20 of 22 starters are better (some substantially) than UM. 

UM is solid and 10-15ish. Bama is elite.

That PSU match really doesn’t make sense while we get Alabama. Completely absurd. I am 100% confident we can beat Memphis. I am also 100% confident UM cannot beat Alabama.

One QB has poor mechanics and is inaccurate turn over machine.

The other is smooth and throws deep.

The route is on.

For the sunshine guys you can keep Don Brown cuz this is what happens against teams with pulses. You're happy with that God bless you

I mean the talent difference yeah. 

But their 3-star QB throws a perfect deep ball.

Our 5-star QB overthrows a medium ball. 

Our all-world athletes (Dax Hill and DPJ, guys Alabama would like to have), look slow and uncoordinated.

I literally told my dad before the game, if this is one of those situations where we go 3 and out, punt, and then Bama goes straight down the field and scores a TD...it’s another give up game.

Not even I expected them to go one play.

Our offense sucks as bad as our defense. Going to be a long game. I see our punter didn’t get any better .

Ready for McCaffrey next year.  It's pure hope but Patterson isn't a dude who can make the throws every single series/play.  So I guess we hope the next man up can.  Sick of watching other teams have lights out QB play.
