Finally! Well after seasons of NCAA hazing, a couple seasons battling the injury report, and coughing up every decent matchup for the past 3 years, we finally stepped up to the plate and won the big game. Our team was healthy and knew that with this win, we could beat anyone. Or I guess at the very least, have the competitve confidence before every game for the rest of the season. We're notorious for playing inconsistent and I can't tell you how happy I am that we looked like shit last week versus Arkansas. So if history repeats, we'll probably look like a middle school marching band in two weeks at Ole Miss.
The one question I have for Mike Shula is why the hell was he playing the first team with under 9 minutes to go in the game when we were up 31-3? Losing Tyrone Prothro for the rest of the season is a big blow to the gut and definitely cancels out the competitve edge that he brought to the field every week. I've read some articles today and apparently his excuse was, "Well you saw the LSU/Tenn game earlier this week didn't you?" Bullshit. Admit you were wrong Shula. Horrible mistake that hopefully will not hurt us as bad as I'm thinking it might. The only twig I wanted to see snapped yesterday was Chris Leak's, not our star player.
Anyways, great start to the rest of the year, which includes Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn, all who should give us a game. The Falcons just won too. Boo hey!
Roll Tide....

well as Pat Dye would say, "hindsite's 50/50".
There's definitely a grey area, but #1, I see no reason for a pass play. 2 out of the 3 end results hurt us. Oh yeah, and it broke our star players leg in two places. I don't agree with the call and think we may have been getting a little cocky.
I guess if we can afford to lose any player in any position it's WR.
