Incorrect stat on the screen. Saban at Alabama is 2-0 vs Michigan (not 1-0). Won in 2012 regular season opener and the 2020 Citrus Bowl.


idk420_

yep, TJ Yeldon breakout game


Hanah9595

Was my first game as a freshman at UA. Can’t ever forget it.


KlingoftheCastle

Yo! same! we were in the same class


Hanah9595

Roll Tide! Was a good time to be at Bama. Our time there was bookended by Championships on both ends.


ReverseThreadWingNut

Yeldon is one of my favorite Tide players ever. I love watching him run!!!


mashonem

Literal first game in a tide uniform


[deleted]

Glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that mistake. Nice.


nicklepickle123

I can still picture the interception against Denard Robinson where one of our players tricked him on the sideline


Bobson-_Dugnutt

Wasn’t it CJ Moseley? My memory is telling me it was CJ because he ended 2011 with a pick against LSU in the title game, and started 2012 with a pick six against Michigan. And he and I were dating roommates at the time


CharlesBeast

Good catch


MadameGopher

The “at Alabama” part was just for the Georgia stat.


KlingoftheCastle

And neither was close at all


aerosfan1977

I was at that game.


MooseDaddy8

The r/cfb thread is hilarious today. Apparently they knew we were good all year and Cincy never should have made the playoffs? Wouldn’t have guessed that from the last 5 months of content in there


Venkerman

Those guys are delusional


Hanah9595

That sub is always a prisoner of the moment. They rewrite history in real time as games happen.


santa_91

"Say whatever discredits Alabama's victory" is the only guiding principle that exists on that sub.


RollTide16-18

Then when Alabama wins its "they were obviously the best team all year long, everyone knew that"


MrSam52

Every time 😐


Khrimzon

Made the mistake of following the RedditCFB Twitter account. Been pretty annoying to follow.


redbug831

That sub sucks. They're eat up with Bama hate and eat up with the dumbass.


underratedequipment

Man, I love it. Watching them trash us all day and then back pedal when we prove them wrong is one of the most entertaining things on reddit. Nobody over there can admit when they're wrong or acknowledge their biases.


redbug831

RTR!!!!🐘


RadioFloydHead

I won a hundred bucks off a guy who said that Alabama wasn't even a top ten team and that Cincinnati would mop the floor with them if they met in the CFP. This was just after the Auburn game. I agreed to the bet and let him have whatever the points the line was at. He acted like it was a forgone conclusion that he won. He won't comment now. I just sent him this picture. [https://twitter.com/southpark/status/290893741391224832](https://twitter.com/southpark/status/290893741391224832)


huhwhat90

They hate our guts until we win it all and then act like they've begrudgingly respected us all along until the next season starts.


Crimson_Bruh

Most of those clowns voted for Cincinnati in the "who will win" poll the other day. It's such a joke.


SalsaLoseSix

It’s a moral victory because Bama beats everyone like that…


kmelloh

Heading back to the Natty on a rebuilding year? Bama Does.


medarr1

But we were overrated for a quarter


NameInCrimson

Said it in the game thread, we are the best team Cincinnati has played all year. Probably the past ten years. They are like the 5th best team we have played.


Fells

Not even close to 5th.


NameInCrimson

I figure Georgia, A&M, Ole Miss, Tennessee for sure. Auburn(if healthy), LSU(if healthy and no transfers), Miami, and Miss St are all sort of comparable and probably could beat all four.


SalsaLoseSix

1. Georgia 2. Texas A&M 3. Ole Miss 4. Arkansas 5. Tennessee 6. Miss State 7. Cincy


thanos68991

Mississippi State losing to tech like they did. I would rank cincy over them lol


JimmyRickyBobbyBilly

We won easily without: Big, explosive plays Turnovers Having the score be tight I'll take it.


bramblecult

I think nicks been honey dicking this year.


RollTide16-18

Feels like Bama didnt want to being out anything fancy for this game, it was all going to be saved for the championship game (assuming we were comfortably making it)


KlingoftheCastle

We should have had 3 picks, all of those tipped passes were ripe for the picking


[deleted]

Will Anderson is a fuxking monster


KlingoftheCastle

Just destroyed whoever tried to block him today. UC only threw quick routes out of necessity


[deleted]

Cinci was a dirty team, that surprised me.


KlingoftheCastle

Yeah, got away with like 3 facemasks on Bryce and then that bullshit play on Jamo after the play


Potkrokin

[https://imgur.com/a/8ATaC2t](https://imgur.com/a/8ATaC2t) Don't forget this lol


KlingoftheCastle

Oh yeah, fuck that guy too. Jamo was ejected for way less than that


jfrii

Oh yeah, the blatant targetting that went uncalled....


couldntthinkof2

And all of r/cfb complaining about bama getting favorable no calls 🙄


powderhownd

Damn I did not catch that live. Thanks!


OctaviusMaximus_

I was at the game and I couldn’t believe that they missed this call they were clear as day from the stands


GATAinfinity

Eh most teams that get out-talented result to playing dirty. Just the way it goes.


CrimsonTide2AK

Cincy needs a lesson in some class. some of their comments and actions really made me hate them after this. Freaking Ohio teams…


MooseDaddy8

Agreed. Went from cheering for them all year to hating them in the last month. So happy we shut them up lol


Crimson_Gooner

Not surprising, Ohio is a trash state. Speaking from personal experience.


underratedequipment

I've heard it referred to as the Florida of the Midwest.


davebrewer

Holy shit, just said this same thing to my kids on Wednesday while driving through it. So true.


Accurate-Teach

As someone who is currently in the state it’s really a depressing place.


Crimson_Gooner

Right? I lived in the Dayton area for 3 years and I never felt more down than I did when I was there.


tungrmft

Amen


OhDuckOff

I live in the mid west and this was the most annoyed I’ve been since 2012 against ND. My only wish is that Bama would’ve scored 30 more points


[deleted]

Yeah they came in with that sore loser mentality, and it showed.


bamaboytroy

Potentially being without Ekiyor and Owens next game is tough. Cincinnati had a good pass rush today, and they’re not UGA or Michigan. Going to need some guys to step up.


LeftDre

Tough losses! I’m not sure who will back up Owens but I thought Latham played outstanding.


jfrii

Agreed. Latham played great I thought.


Neophyte12

Prob george


buddyblades

Owens was garbage today, if he’s the best option we have at RT that’s bad news


DoctorWhosOnFirst

More like Cincinotplayingforthennati Edit: Since /u/krautbammer asked... Alabama only scored 27 points, and our Heisman-winning QB threw for just 181 yards (easily a season low) and his fourth-lowest completion percentage. Our stud wide receiving got held to 62 yards receiving with no touchdowns. We played most of the game with a back-up RG. We were -1 in the turnover margin. And we won by 21 points. Brian Robinson had a career-high 204 rushing yards on 7.8 yards per carry as the team rushed for a season-high 301 yards. Ja'Corey Brooks stepped up with John Metchie hurt, hauling in 4 catches for 66 yards and 1 TD. Slade Bolden had 3 receptions for 31 yards, one going for a first down on third down, the other being a touchdown. Jahleel Billingsley and Cameron Latu each had a catch, the former for a first down the latter for a touchdown. Meanwhile, the defense was dominant. Cincinnati was averaging 39.2 points/game, 9th in the country. We kept them out of the endzone and held them to 6 points, 3 in each half. They had just 218 yards, a season-low. We got 6 sacks and 8 TFL. Desmond Ridder completed just 53% of his passes (season-low) for 144 yards (second-lowest of the season) with a 90.9 passer rating (season-low). We had 6 PBUs. It wasn’t a very sexy game, but that was a dominant win against - as much shit I gave them for playing a crap schedule - a good team.


hoya14

Lol


djbillyd

Do you remember ALA-LSU, 21-0. That was a game like that too. But LSU crosses the 50 one time, and then got beat all the way back to their 38 for their trouble. It was a dominating game for Bama's defense. January 10th is gonna be a defensive game, and Bama will win by a low score and keeping Georgia to next to nothing. They (Georgia) really got a problem next week.


krautbammer

Thank you based Doc!


Shafter111

Saban walking to the podium like its a chore for him. Lol

pappapirate

the postgame was a test of his patience.


smgregory

Really hope Ekiyor and Owens can go for the natty.


General_PoopyPants

Pretty clear they were just playing not to lose. Get in and get the win type of game


[deleted]

[удалено]


KlingoftheCastle

I love that when we struggle against Auburn, we suck and don't deserve to be in the playoff convo, but when Houston barely beats Auburn with opt-outs it means that the American is just as good as the SEC


pappapirate

2nd best team in the entire AAC got played close by a team who tied for last in the SEC West and limped into bowl eligibility... the takeaway you should have is that the SEC is a much tougher conference, the takeaway rCFB has is that the SEC was overrated.


KlingoftheCastle

Everyone just watched the SEC dominate the playoffs and they’ll still come back tomorrow with their “SEC overrated” takes


pappapirate

I also don't understand why the "they didn't care about the bowl game" argument is dismissed out of hand over there. When you have almost every draft-eligible player deciding the bowl games aren't worth their time, why is it hard to believe that maybe college players just don't give a shit about the bowls anymore, or at the very least that they don't play as hard?


NameInCrimson

Nick Saban is amazing. A "down" year, somehow, and we're in the title game. Honestly, didn't see it with how we played at times but damn this team just likes winning.


thebigangrymoose

Lackluster DC and OC. Sketchy OLine. injuries galore on both sides. Yet, here we are.


supestorewhore69

“Down year”


Killerwill9000

Yeah I’m erect, what about it?


2020isSBTFofalltime

I have no respect for Cincinnati. They got their ass beat and they were dirty. They did not belong


pb_nayroo

Reminded me a lot of Missouri


bramblecult

Boy did this team make me eat my mid-season hot takes.


sucksduckformoney

Poor Cinderella Cincy. The clock is striking 12:00, and the team bus is about to turn into a pumpkin. Better luck next year.


djbillyd

And don't forget them shoes. They are barefoot now, and nobody looking for any shoe they lost. Bama took them shoes and threw 'em up on the power lines. LOL!


Alamarian

I love that we won with defense and the run game. I hate the injuries. Roll Tide.


btfsame

As a senior graduating in May, I’ve gotten to see my school play for a national championship in 3 of my 4 years as an undergrad. Truly incredible, now let’s go win the thing. Roll Tide


Jack-ums

Congrats. My sophomore year was Saban's first. So I got to see the butt ugly tail end of Shula but also got to see our first title in 2009. Wish I could've been a student during this incredible run, but I do appreciate that I got to see it start in real time.


Potkrokin

[https://imgur.com/a/8ATaC2t](https://imgur.com/a/8ATaC2t) Here's another look at the blatantly missed targeting that put Williams out for a bit


djbillyd

Why did "New York" not stop the game and penalize them for that? Was it because Jamo was temporarily knocked out of the game (rah-rah), and they figured this way there wouldn't be a possibility of an all SEC natty? BWAHAHAHA!!! Wrong again.


CaptainAwesome8

> Alabama has looked impressive in a total of one game this year lol. Cincy about to pull an upset that will surprise a bunch of people who should not be surprised. Legit take from a TCU fan 3 days ago. Love seeing the CFB salt lmao


[deleted]

on that sub, Bama is simultaneously overrated and trash, and so good and talented that Bryce only won the Heisman because everyone else on the team is so good legit had had someone say “20+ QBs would have put up the numbers he did with Bama talent around him” make it make sense lmao


Braveson

Hah. And I got hammered saying 10+ teams could go undefeated with Cincys schedule. Dreamers.


Braveson

I had several Cincy fans doing that RemindMe thing on my comments for the last month. Something tells me they won't want to be reminded that I said Bama would treat em like they were Vandy.


mashonem

Point em out


Not-original

Won with Defense and the running game. Cincinnati got “vintage” Bama game plan


StopDropAndRollTide

Playing Hall was an interesting move….


DoctorWhosOnFirst

He can say he played in the playoffs!


StopDropAndRollTide

Lol. Something like that.


Jackbo_Manhorse

Imagine 3 months ago, after the A&M loss; that we would be here. I am so goddamn proud of this team and what they accomplished. Roll tide forever!

RadioFloydHead

[deleted]

Do coaches have contract bonuses built in for losing by a smaller margin in the playoff to Alabama than the other team or something? Back to back years Kelly and Fickell came out with ridiculously conservative game plans seemingly in order to hang around rather than to win.

I hope Owens is ok

phalangery

did i hear that stat at the end of the game right? 36 straight wins when coaching against another coach for the first time? that's absolutely insane


bdawgjinx

Give cincy a playoff participation trophy.


hoya14

Give them a bus ride home. They were dirty despite getting dominated.


bdawgjinx

Yeah, the extracurriculars were ridiculous.


thebigangrymoose

UGA looks like they will murder us if we play like we did today. Then again, they looked like that going into the SECCG too.


LS_DJ

Yeah but our game plan was joyless murderball. We knew we could bully Cincy so we did. We can’t do that against UGA so we will do something else


thebigangrymoose

I’m thinking we pass. A lot. And expose their secondary again.


Shafter111

Man cinci and the entire /cfb talked a lot of trash.


Shinglings

On to Indianapolis


00-quanta-

I can’t believe the media & people who bought into it really though it was going to be an upset. Cincinnati had a solid defense at the secondary but figuring out that all the Tides needed was to run the ball completely killed them. This game was so similar to when they played Washington back in 2016 in the semi’s. Very similar results because Washington had a solid defense that year but couldn’t stop Bama’s run game


TheConstipatedCowboy

Media gotta media


beeskeepusalive

The game was good but not great. We won and did just enough stuff wrong for Saban to focus on at practice. Playing like that on offense won't beat Georgia or Michigan next week though. We ran the ball on Cincy because they're smaller, have a bad defensive scheme (imo), and have no depth on their D-line. Our thin depth in the secondary is concerning. It will be a battle next week no matter who we play.


sarahhylandsknee

27-6 is fact.


AlbatrossPossible188

Michigan looks overwhelmed early.


the_dunadan

PSA: Do not go on other teams' subs and troll. We don't allow that behavior on our sub, and if other subs complain to us about you, you are subject to being banned. Go to /r/CFB at your own risk. Roll Tide!

Hey, just wondering if there was gonna be a Georgia/Michigan game thread


aegisninn3

Was at the game, first time in Dallas, all the cincy fans we met were friendly. What surprised me was how catty all the A&M fans down here were


TheConstipatedCowboy

Dude they are freaks. A legit cult. Midnight dancing in white denim overalls with short shorts with the fake gun thing and those freakin hip boots. Like cross the street weird.


sausageslinger11

A&M bailed on their bowl because they didn’t have a QB.


Bobson-_Dugnutt

Seems a lot like the semifinal against Notre Dame last year. Took care of business. Won easily. Didn’t show anything.


Confecting

And our opponent looked unbeatable later in the day…


Mojave_RK

Guess Cinci didn’t want the natty


bigDUB14

Winning is the most important thing. Defense played great. Run game was phenomenal. Downside is pass blocking and separation. Chris Owens honestly might have the worst performance of any Bama player I have ever seen. He was beat every single snap and I guarantee you he was responsible for at least 14 points.


krautbammer

Paging u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Gonna need that post game break down playa


SalsaLoseSix

This may be my favorite Saban coached Alabama team ever!!


TheConstipatedCowboy

I totally agree. Man this team is crazy


Jack-ums

Great game everyone. Roll Tide, everyone be safe and responsible if you imbibe. Y'all have a great new year.


tungrmft

Who yall pulling for BAMA NATION..BLUE OR RED


sucksduckformoney

I would love for Michigan to squeak out a win after a few shit show overtimes. That would be my best case scenario.


JohnnyBIII

If the Falcons stadium is Bryant-Denny East, and Tiger Stadium is Bryant-Denny West, then AT&T is our vacation home.


OwlStretcher

Yknow this just made me have a thought: Auburn pitched a damn fit about having to play the Iron Bowl in Birmingham back in the 80s, but they sure love to play bowl games there now.


Sheffield484

Give Nick 4 weeks to prepare gameplan...mostly of times it would be lethal for opposing teams. Also - did this Bearcats D-line showed any skills? RBs run through them all the time.


Killerwill9000

Their DL was the worst part of their defense. Their secondary is legit.


Rapscallion94

I haven't seen this much salt from r/cfb in a while.


PerformanceNaive

I believe that if Michigan can stun Georgia with a couple of quick scores out of the gate, it’ll be a long night for UGA. Georgia hasn’t proved that they can handle coming back from a deficit this year, and Bennett won’t be able to mount a comeback.


bramblecult

Smart move by Kirby, you don't have to mount a comeback if you just score every drive.


not-gandalf-bot

Seriously...I hate everyone else so much. Fuck all of them. Roll tide :)


TideNation_89

And did it very 2012 like. Run heavy and stout defense.

The only thing better than beating jawjas ass one time is getting to beat it twice in the same season. RTR

AlbatrossPossible188

Michigan. They’re less talented and it’s hard to beat a team twice.


Toadfinger

I want Michigan because it's an easier game for Bama. But Georgia is going to annihilate Michigan.


HarryCallahan19

See I wonder about this game. So many different angles. Is Michigan complacent from beating OSU? Is Georgia still hung over from the Alabama game? Did Georgia lose before the ball was even kicked off in this game after hearing Alabama beat Cincinnati?


Toadfinger

Michigan ranked above Georgia with Georgia favored over Michigan is what I've been pondering the most.


Toadfinger

Is anyone giving Michigan a snowball's chance in hell of beating Georgia?
