There's just one kind favor I'll ask of you...
...won't you see that my grave is kept clean?
Because Bama football is going to be the death of me. Second scare of the season survived.
Update: Now that I've had some time to settle down, I have a few thoughts.
- This game was uglier than the Arkansas win. It was also a trap game coming off the bye after a huge win, but while there was only a slim chance Arkansas could pull the upset, Ole Miss was in it 'til the final 3 seconds. Having the game decided by a Christensen field goal attempt is one of my worst nightmares, second only to the one where Brodie Croyle is actually torn to pieces on the field like the kid in Not Another Teen Movie.
- Hopefully Randy Sanders will still have his head up his ass and Fulmer's mind will be occupied with exactly how he's going to get his hand unstuck from that can of Pringles he had before the game next weekend and they'll try to win through the air instead of cutting Riggs loose since our linebackers seem to have forgotten how to stop the run.
- Can we win without Prothro? Beats me. It's looking like we are going to play down to the level of competition so that's still a big question mark on our offense. All I know is we looked awful.
- Seeing DJ Hall back during the second half was about the second biggest bright spot behind managing to walk out of Oxford at 6-0. Maybe the injury bug has passed us by.
- What happened to the running game? Is our O line exposed, or is it just that opposing DCs from now on will make us win through the air knowing that Prothro is out?
- We didn't look like a contender this afternoon, but we also didn't look like a team that would wind up prison shower raping Miami in '92. We won, so that's enough for now.
