Alabama basically tried to give us the game but we could not capitalize. I for one thought Hartline did good, he also outplayed John Parker Wilson, who is a 4-year starter. He made some really good passes but the line either didn't give him enough time to make a decision or the receivers dropped it.

You cannot say enough about or defense, even though we give up the 78-yard touchdown to Coffee in the 1st quarter, we held our own the rest of the game against a very, very good smashmouth team.

Only real problems I noticed today was the offensive line, Tony Dixon, and the receivers who continue to show inexperience. Dixon just doesn't have the same burst that Locke & Smith have. The offensive line cannot block anyone, and the receivers continue to drop passes, other than Lyons.
