Here's a look at Alabama's PFF grades following its 34-0 win against Austin Peay.

Was it just me or was Lane thinking more about the Auburn job than getting Ole Miss ready for Arkansas!!!

The Alabama coaching staff selected nine players of the week following the Crimson Tide’s shutout win over Austin Peay last Saturday. Jermaine Burton, Jase McClellan and Seth McLaughlin on offense; Will Anderson Jr., Brian Branch, DeMarcco Hellams and Henry To’oTo’o on defense; and Christian Leary and Quandarrius Robinson on special teams were all selected for their efforts in the Tide’s non-conference win.



OFFENSE

Jermaine Burton

• Led all wideouts with a game-high seven catches for 128 yards and two scores
• His catches and yards were season-high marks while he matched his season-best total for touchdowns
• Found the end zone on receptions of four and 10 yards

Jase McClellan

• Accumulated a career-high 156 yards rushing and two touchdowns on only 17 carries
• Averaged 9.2 yards per carry with a long rush of 35

Seth McLaughlin

Alabama basketball was ranked at No. 18 in this week's AP Top 25

I think the vertical passing game and protecting the QB are the best when we spend some time under center or in the pistol running the ball and using play action. Just wanted to throw that out there. But check out these stats from this past weekend…insane.

Navy beat UCF- 64 plays- 63 rushes for 248 yards and 0-1 passing.
Army beat UCONN- 59 plays- 58 rushes for 320 yards and 0-1 passing.
Air Force beat Colorado State- 73 plays- 71 rushes for 359 yards and 0-2 passing.

Let’s not go this extreme. But let’s find our identity again.

Can't wait to see spring ball. Staff changes coming, I hope, retool and get next natty

SC is carving them up right now. They have some good looking players. Rattler has been great and everybody there is believing right now. Seems like the atmosphere is crazy right now. Be interesting to see what happens…

Nearly half of McClellan’s touches over the weekend went for first downs or touchdowns while five resulted in gains of 10 yards or more. Those who were able to keep up with him didn’t do much to slow him down either. According to Pro Football Focus, the 5-foot-11, 212-pound back drug defenders an average of 5.69 yards per attempt after contact.

Counting the pair of failed two-point conversions, Alabama ran 11 plays inside LSU’s 10-yard line. They resulted in a loss of 2 yards.

Alabama played to potential tonight and you see where all the hype came from. This team doesn’t have any egos, they all impact the game in positive ways, and do whatever it takes to win.

Tonight was the Brandon Miller breakout game. He is a generational talent for Alabama and he showed why tonight. Being 6’9 and hitting 7 threes, while playing great defense will get him drafted top 10-15 in the NBA Draft. He has a +/- of 100 through 4 games. He makes winning plays every single game.

The 3 PG lineup of JQ, Bradley, and Sears is so fun to watch. Oats loved playing 3 PGs in Buffalo and it was very effective there, and it showed to be effective tonight. It’s an elite scoring lineup and they’re able to spread it out and let each of the PGs go to work. Look for that lineup more as the season moves on.

Alabama shot 21/46 from 3 and 12/19 from inside the arc tonight. I said earlier this year to expect 10 threes made on average, but if they hit close to 20 they’re near impossible to beat. The reason being that this team is so elite defensively and those threes are killers for the opposing team. Alabama only allowed 23 in the second half after allowing 39 in the first half. Tonight was the get right game for Nimari Burnett as he scored 18 on 5/6 shooting from 3.

This team is legit.

Had to send my son to the basketball game by himself and may have to send him to the football game by himself!!! Really frustrating!!

impressive thing to start this season is defense. the way we run and gun, most teams would give up a lot of points. as bear bryant used to say, offense sells tickets but defense wins championships. roll tide

Devonta Smith similarities galore. Big miss on this young man. He was ours for a while.

Clinched the 2nd Wildcard spot tonight I haven’t had an opportunity to brag too much on my Cards the last few seasons but this is worth bragging about. The Dodgers will probably beat us in the Wildcard game but you never know with Wainwright on the mound. Hoping to catch the Braves in the NLCS.

Women's Futbol wins 3-1 to advance to the Elite 8. Will host the winner of South Carolina vs Duke...Roll Tide!

One more to final four! Great job!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

24 HOUR NOTICE! If you're like me you expect every Alabama game to be on Broadcast TV. Tomorrow's game will be streaming on ESPN+/SEC Network+. This can be easy on your phone or computer, and since many of us have been around a while, a little more tricky on a big screen TV. Good Luck and Roll Tide! Some of our technology savvy guys can be the Help Desk or you can reach out to @Tony_Tsoukalas girlfriend.

RTR

this team is as good as advertised. roll tide

Alinen will be visiting this weekend for the Iron Bowl with the full intention of on recruiting others targets. He is solid to the Tide and not wavering.
