If Gus would have recruited the Oline better, he probably would have won a natty or at least a few SEC championships. But they just recruited light out on QB’s and WR’s and didn’t think about providing the support the QB needed to actually use the WR’s. Trigga Trey was Matthews, not Mason. But god, I miss Jeff Grimes. Edited November 27, 2021 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO they have not had an elite O Line coach since Jeff Grimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had Coates wide open on a dig route for the first down. All they needed was a field goal. Oh well. That team was built on dramatic moments. It worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus did add there but definitely would not have made it without that QB either. 2 game changing QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Johnson being a Heisman candidate should tell us all we need to know about preseason predictions. There isn't a coach in the world that could have turned that guy in to a dominate sec quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take this and build some momentum on the trail because Harsin’s team came in limping and pretty much took Saban’s team to the woodshed tonight. They needed the refs to bail em out at the end. Hell of a fight from our guys. Showed grit. Got robbed. Build on the positives from this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I didn’t realize that about Bear’s great grandson. That’s pretty neat. Hope they miss a ton of field goals in the future.

Ricardo dropped a wide open td early just totally dropped it with no one around, missed fg, tre Mason just needed to go down on the 1 instead of scoring.. Ughh we beat the hell out of that team and fsu was holding so much it was obvious. Sorry, I've got my Pasadena hoody on I bought at the game. It was a fun game nonetheless. Rant over.
