NO ****.

They have 70 blue chips and several first rounders. Of course they kicked our ass. They're going to "outclass" most teams on their schedule.

I think you miss my point entirely. I don't doubt their talent being overwhelmingly better than ours, but I'm referring to how we played. When our DBs aren't turning around to chase a receiver until five seconds after they pass them, that's a problem. When every play an announcer is talking about how a Bama player is wide open, that's a problem. Those aren't talent issues, those are coaching issues. There'll be plenty of teams with similar talent that will be completely destroyed by Bama, but they won't be completely destroyed by Bama's third string.

It's the difference between a team trying and blowing you out versus a team treating you like their little brother's JV squad that they play to make them feel good, but aren't worried in the slightest.

You may not have watched the game but we had receivers wide open to. We don’t have two Heisman candidates as receivers on the field at one time so, yes they might have been wide open more often but l got to ask WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT? Do you seriously expect us to have those guys blanketed on every down. Sure you do because you are wishing and hoping and unrealistic.
Don’t forget the running back they have that could take it to the house on any play. I’m sure our safeties and dbacks could just ignore THE NUMBER ONE RATED RUNNING BACK RECRUIT IN THE NATION and concentrate on coverage of their Heisman guys on every down. Hate to tell you this but Monkens best team got handled about as bad by WKU in his sole CCG appearance.
