Define "a good showing" against Bama
- Thread starter aTotal360

At this point you could probably say scoring at least one TD in Tuscaloosa is a good showing.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I’d be pleased with this, but beating the spread would be entirely acceptable to me. Doing so would either mean that Arnett had a fantastic game plan for Bryce Young or else Leach will prove me wrong by showing that this offense can actually move the ball against a good pass rush.
The game still being in doubt at halftime would constitute a good showing to me.
Get out with no injuries and stay with in the spread. Can we win? Sure we can. Will we win? No, just plain no.
The ESPN crew is still talking about our game and not everything else in the third quarter.
Without sharp and Johnson ? Staying within 30 points would be about what I would expect. And to get out of there in one piece.
If we're not competitive going into the 4th quarter, it's not a "good showing" to me. I think some people may be using "good showing" synonymously with "achieving or over achieving", which I think is fair, but I just can't call a game we're not competitive in good.
I guess I'll feel slightly better if we at least move the ball on offense, and maybe should consider us moving the ball and them not scoring at will a good showing, but it won't be enjoyable.
Be within 2 scores in the 4th Qrt.
Sorry Dawgstudent, we should aspire to be better and accept nothing less as a “good showing”

Saban having a stroke on the side lines because the Refs are 17 them over.
To crush our enemies and see them driven before us and to hear the lamentations of their women. But to get back to reality to escape with no further injuries would be satisfactory.
For me to win Powerball Saturday night would be very acceptable.
The Game?
Oh ... That I don't decide to turn it off at Halftime.
Winning powerball would be a soothing balm to the T-Town loss I expect

Dev you need to do your job and send some major temptations their way. Come on man!
Effort and overall play will be watched.
Do we fight, and do what we can.
That is all I can ask, every week.
17 Bama.

What would I be able to temp them with that they can not get from Bama boosters? Even I have limits.
This would be a good showing for me.
talent gap notwithstanding… this is just a bad matchup. We aren’t great at stopping the run and they can run the ball. I expect Bama to have lots of long drives, similar to Kentucky. Offense will play not be able to get in a rhythm because they won’t have the ball very long.
hope I’m wrong but I expect it to get ugly.
