We weren't on Bama's level this year and they're clearly the top program in college football. But we are #2 with room to grow. I hated Coombs gameplan tonight but he was severly handicapped by the roster. We need to play lots of DBs against Alabama but we just don't have the players due to recruiting misses by Grinch and Johnson.

Ease up on Wade. He's a great safety/nickle. Last year, we saw him flying around making tons of plays. He's not an outside corner and was playing out of position because there's no one else.
