Alabama/Shula Debacle

[Neo]

Am I alone to wonder why Mr. Shula left Croyle in while leading by 25+ pts.? That's just asking for trouble considering how thin Alabama is at depth. Because of this injury, Alabama's season may be over. What do yall think?

Nope. I think the Miami reject will fit in the system just fine personally. I feel that Arkansas will beat us pretty easily, but it should be a good feeler for his talent.

As for Shula, I being an Alabama fan, am upset, but do not blame Shula. I would have probaly waited to the 4th to put all the reserves in. (hmmm... Maybe thats why I do not coach...hehe)

Croyle was in for the first series of the second-half in a game where Bama's offense was very out-of-sync. To say that Shula is at fault for not limiting BC to the first-half of a ballgame (especially the week before Arkansas) is absurd.
