re: Day after takes on Game 1

We won the game, which is all that matters at the end of the day.

That said, our secondary was a huge liability. Similar to the Texas and A&M games last year, a competent QB would have made us pay. That’s the difference between beating a good team and beating an elite team. We won’t play Bama nearly as good as we did last year if our secondary looks like it did yesterday.

Offensively, we miss Dominique Johnson in the running game. Pass pro is also an issue, and WRs seemed to be having trouble getting separation at times.

Like I said, we won the game, but lots of chinks in the armor. We played very bad last year game one and went on to have a great year. We played much better game one this year compared to last, so hopefully we continue that same trajectory.
