2021 Alabama vs Texas A&M

Alabama Football Podcast pursues balance after an unexpectedly frustrating outing against the Aggies in College Station. 

Obstacles

There’s a popular book by Ryan Holiday titled The Obstacle is the Way. Saban has studied it and I found it a compelling read. Interestingly, it’s an insightful parallel for the Crimson Tide as they seek to rebound from a disappointing loss to Texas A&M.

Yes, the Aggies were more obstacle that many predicted but their resiliency is an example that could well serve the Tide.

Run the Ball

Lot is being made of Alabama’s three failed passing attempts following a 1st and goal situation inside the five. But is all of it fair? A&M has a stout defensive front and stuffed Alabama seven times on short yardage situations prior to the possession in question, and another 3 times later in the game.

Drops and Misses

Bryce Young’s passing numbers were outsized given the outcome of the game, yet he finished with 20 incompletions. Consider more than a third were inexplicably dropped and another third were just out of the receiver’s grasp. While uncanny these many mishaps befell the Tide on this given day, marginal improvements in concentration across multiple players can have outsized returns as the Tide seeks to right the ship.

Check out the podcast for more discussion on these and many other topics.

Anyone can read a headline, but which players contributed in more subtle ways to the Tide’s fortune?

Next Up

Alabama seeks to rebound in Starkville against the Pirate Bulldogs of Mike Leach. Is the Air Raid really what the Tide needs, or is it exactly what the Tide needs? Tune in for our take.

Hello and Welcome to the Alabama Football Podcast!  We’re glad you found us.

But who are we?  Fair question.  We’re Tom and Dave, Alabama graduates and big college football fans.  However, we have a unique and intense passion for the Alabama Crimson Tide.  
Over the years we’ve spent countless hours talking about the Alabama Football team and one day in 2010 we got the idea that we should turn our idle talk into a podcast, and so was born the Alabama Football Podcast.  The original podcast branded as such.

In early 2014 we were offered the opportunity to merge our football podcast with BamaHammer dot com, one of the leading Alabama sports sites around and we’re looking forward to using this platform to help us reach and forge relationships with even more Alabama fans who enjoy a little intelligent and opinionated football talk.

We trust you’ll enjoy our show and we welcome your feedback.  

We’re reachable via the BamaHammer website or directly at AlabamaFootballPodcast (@) gmail dot com.

In the meantime, Roll Tide.
