Gibbs was incredible today

[GT65_UGA89]

Bama hadn’t lost to Tennessee in forever.

Gibbs transfers to Bama.

Bama loses to Tennessee.

Do I have to do everything around here?

…and this thread is a wrap.

24 rushes for 103 yards. Wow!

103 yards rushing, 48 yards receiving, 3 touchdowns. Averaging 128 yards from scrimmage and slightly over a TD per game.

Gibbs is who he thought he was: a great RB and a player who quit on Collins like many (most?) fans did. He shouldn't have quit midseason but there's no world in which he didn't transfer at the end of the year anyway. No use crying over spilt milk.

Would it have been better if he never came to GT?

He also choked with a game winning catch.

Mixed feelings on Gibbs.

However it could be MUCH worse...he could have transferred to Buttsnifferville. At least this way he continues to fight the greatest evil of all.

Gibbs is a good player who will play on Sunday; but to act like he was best player in the game is a stretch. Bryce Young is more critical to Bama's success right now and is more phenomenal.

During the game, one of the announcers said that he has been covering SEC games for 17 or so years and Gibbs was as good as any RB he has ever seen.

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

So Collins was a good recruiter? I’m confused…

Yeah, the announcers job is to sell the game. They aren't going to tell you he is no Bo Jackson. I watched the Auburn game and one of the announcers said Tank Bigsby is one of if not the best RB in the conference. It is what they do.

That's not even remotely comparable. LOL

It is the exact same thing. The fact you are falling for it is what is humorous.

The Tennessee wr with 5 TDs clearly was the best player on the field yesterday.

 

[savbandjacket]

He wasn’t game changing for Alabama (unless you could dropping the pass that would have made for an easier field goal and burned more clock). The game was never this “just feed Gibbs the ball” sort of game.

Whenever I hear this phrase, I can only believe it was coined by someone who never truly loved and lost.

GIbbs isn't the type of runner you can just feed the ball like Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram were.

Alabama wins the game with either of those two backs.

Choice was a good recruiter

It's in media's interest for everything to be the "best ever in history" but honestly I wasn't oveely impressed with Gibbs yesterday. He played well don't get me wrong. But the way he quit on Tech at the end of 2021 sorry I just don't think he has that killer instinct to be as great as his talent would allow.
