It took exactly 1 quarter for Alabama fans to get fed up with new OC Steve Sarkisian
Alabama was favored by as many as 35 points in some places entering a Week 1 matchup against Duke in Atlanta.
However, entering the second quarter, the score was tied 0-0. Fans were already getting frustrated with new OC Steve Sarkisian.
Many flocked to Twitter, expressing frustration after a scoreless first quarter of play:
Bama needs to fire Sark now… he’s absolutely horrible

Never underestimate the ability of Sark to to make an explosive offense stagnant.

Alabama held scoreless in the 1st quarter under Sark? Where have I seen that before!

Yeah Alabama isn't going to be how they usually are this year. Sark is a God awful offensive coordinator. No clue why Saban hired him.

Alabama did score with 10 minutes left in the second quarter, easing those concerns a little bit. We’ll see how the Crimson Tide offense fares moving forward.
Since Sark came over from the Atlanta Falcons after a couple of disappointing seasons, maybe it’s just something about Atlanta that gives him fits?
Fans overreacting…. Say it ain’t so.
If you look for anything, you’ll find it on Twitter.
that is the truth
no need to stress, or not stress, about Sark until at least the bye. no killer teams before then. I’m sure Alabama will cruise to 5-0. If they struggle in those first 5 games then it is different. Until then, enjoy the wins
Throwing downfield to your #1 pick WRs against an overmatched secondary might help.
Sticking to worrying about Florida May help you avoid sounding like a b!tch…..
I doubt it though..
WELL THE SECOND TIME THEY HAD THE BALL THEY FUMBLED I GUESS HE CAUSED THAT. THEY STILL BEAT THE POINT SPREAD SO WHY DON’T YOU FAIR WEATHER FANS STFU.
I Agree. I liked the quick pass’s in the flats to give WRs 1o1s and the use of the TEs. It was just 1st game jitters . The team settled down and started rolling. Please be patient. RTR
