Bless Roman Harper

I have to say it is great to be a member of the Tide Nation this afternoon. A game of defenses until the end of the third quarter when we received bad ball placement on a third down and denied the first down. Mr. Money, Jamie Christensen, came out and put the first points on the board with a field goal for Alabama. Then Tennessee answered with a field goal of thier own. Next it came down to the fourth quater with Tennessee marching down the field to our red zone. Gerald Riggs with a sacrificing run that put him out of the game setup Cory Anderson for a shot at our end zone. On third down they gave it to Anderson who was running in for a touchdown until an angel from heaven Roman Harper weighing in at 195 lbs charges in to nail 270 lb Anderson and produce a fumble. The ball is knocked out of the end of the end zone to give Alabama a touchback. Where we get the ball on our 20 yard line. Tennessee holds us to no yardage until our third down, with us struggling against their defense all day on third downs, and Croyle nails DJ Hall with a beutiful pass for a huge 43 yard gain. Then Darby comes out with two great first down runs to put us in field goal range. Just like last week Mr. Jamie "Money" Christensen came out and kicked the game winning field goal. For the cherry on top Dameco Ryans ended the game with an interception on a hail mary pass by Erik Ainge to wind down the clock. You have to give it to our red zone defense and Mr. Harper for saving the tide nation and our offense lead by Mr. Croyle to step up when they had to and pull out the game. Just as Coach Shula stated "It wasn't pretty" but it got the job done. This was our first win against Tennessee in Tuscaloosa since 1930 and the first time we have been 7-0 since 1996 with Gene Stallings. Check the game stats out below and make sure to check tommorow evening when we will have our next show. Roll Tide Roll
