He's out for the first half of the next gNe by NCAA rule. Les should suspend him 3 games (IMO). The conference can also suspend him.

To counter that, didn't see much in the way of punt returns. The focus may have been on placement and getting coverage down the field. That was the explanation when Hughes' numbers went south.

We'll know for sure when Ludwig causes his first fumble.

It definitely felt like we were saving things for next week.

Granted he caught the 2 TDs, but it felt like Bucky was underutilized, as well as McMillan.

The jet sweep motion that I have seen in overviews of the Memphis offense happened a few times, but certainly wasn't featured yesterday.

Didn't feel like we were running a lot of the misdirection, get the defense out of place, plays that Fuente's offense is known for. I look forward to reading French's breakdown of the offense.

If we were able to get the win like that yesterday and keep all of that under wraps for next week, then I am really excited for next Saturday (like I wasn't already)!!

I think Fuente held back a bit on the game plan. Not much RPO but I think the TD pass to Phillips was one. Not sure Evans isn't better on the run than in the pocket.

Were there any QB carries on the inverted veer?

Surprisingly few touches for Bucky. Suspect that will change

Big drop off from Hughes at punter; and the distance between Ludwig and the 3 guys he hides behind looked pretty minimal at times.

Note to Motu...do not leave your feet when blitzing...ever.

Actually felt like we spent most of the 4th quarter trying not to score. The fact that we had that many plays while noticeably running the play clock down for most of the 4th quarter is even more impressive.

I have to ask, and I'm really not trying to be a dick, but, what makes people think betting against Bama in a pro-style v pro-style power teams matchup is a good idea? The only teams that have looked competent against Bama ran run-option or spread offenses. You don't out phyiscal Bama. You outrun them or lose. Even when LSU was putting up a good fight, they were running an option with their RBs pretending to be QBs...What gives? I just don't get it.

So my question to the reviewers over the next few days is how "vanilla" was the gameplay? I have no idea. It did seem to me that whatever the game plan was, it was effective, and they stuck to it even when the score was upside down. Like the Ole Miss game, you're thinking "this is close" or "this ain't good", then quietly a solid win emerges.

Defense- if that was vanilla, they executed their butts off, for sure.

what's with everyone calling for people's jobs? Put down the pitchforks and brooms and realize that these are young men who make stupid mistakes. He'll hopefully be suspended a game by SEC for the terrible late hit, but no one needs to lose their job.

I thought the throw to Deablo was badly underthrown, and potentially a pick against a better db.

I suspect the deep ball may be the reason the qb battle isn't settled yet. You must be able to hit those often enough to keep a defense honest.
