Slickdawg's best video
- Thread starter HammerOfTheDogs
- Start date
Dixon + Ducre was a pretty good backfield. Favorite pic is Saban losing his **** on the sideline.
I say this very carefully... but I liked the basic offense Croom ran... it' just wasn't executed well. The I-Formation, downhill offense with Ducre' and Dixon was the best backfield we've had in a decade, and that downhill running was absolutely punishing, even if the defense knew it was coming. McCorvy (and Croom, for that matter) just had no clue how to to operate a balanced attack. The downhill 1-2 punch of Ducre' and Dixon coupled with a credible play action threat would have been a very potent attack. I mean hell, you see some play action in the video and see how wide open the tight end across the middle is. Why McCorvy and Croom never figured that out is beyond me...
wes carrol was extremely underrated and for some reason, disliked for this board. he was like 9 passes away from breaking the freshman passing record without an int and....well, the obvious happened. highly underrated at least the time he was here. he didnt end on a high note to say the least, but still, dude was outstanding for a season.
also, that pick 6 was amazing. i will never forget that moment....it was like kissing a unicorn.

ACTUALLY he tied the record prior to the Bama game
and the first offensive play from scrimmage was an interception (the record was Mike Gundy and if memory serves, he released some kind of statement about it prior to the Bama game). But yea, I don't know what happened his sophomore year because he seemed to have a lot of upside his freshman year. I'm sure Croom had a lot to do with it...

I believe it was because Croom created a needless QB controversy with Tyson Lee. Carroll had led us to a bowl game as a true freshman, and in fall camp we start talking about playing Lee, who was a walk-on. I think it messed with his head and he was never the same after getting pulled in the La Tech game.
i knew he was really really close but i recall something like 8 or 9 passes short of tying instead of being tied. either way, croom happened and thats all she wrote.
edit: you right....137 consecutive passes without an int. tied for the record...one pass short...

But it wasn't against a top 20 team. Not impressed**
I believe I suffered permanent hearing loss during the int return.

I still have no idea how it was we sucked so bad against Louisiana Tech. I still have nightmares about that game... it felt like we were at a damn high school and we lost. Then, 2 weeks later we had the game compared only to triple distilled 17uppery and lost 3-2 to Auburn. Then, SOMEHOW lost to Kentucky (who sucked *** pimples that year) on a friggin' missed extra point. AAAANNNNDD the icing on the cake was 45-0... which doesn't seem that bad anymore because that became the end of Croom, and for that, we are grateful.
I liked the part where our guy kicked the ball
and it went between those two poles in the air and then they gave us three points which was awesome.

Don't forget that same year, we also beat Arkansas for the first time in 10 years and also beat a ranked, 5-0 Vandy. And we tried like hell to give that game away too with McShank's back to back ****** punts including a glorious 7 yarder.
