Bingo. We had our chance, and failed. Simple as that.As badly as we played, we still had a chance to win with 1st and goal at the six. It didn't happen.
I agree with all of this but you HAVE to call that nasty helmet to helmet on Lacy. That was very bad officiating.How about our 3 turnovers? aTm didn't turn the ball over once.
Turnover ratio is very important in football
or how about we couldn't get off the field on 3rd down?
if your defense can't stop 3rd down conversions, high probability you're gonna lose
or the 400 yds we gave up on defense...again?
or the 165 rushing yards we allowed?
All more valid reasons for losing this game than any ref call/non call
The second one on our QB near the goal line. If you're not going to call it there, it should never be called...atm played a very inspired game. bama was flat. we were not making many changes to our offensive plan. we got figured out. somehow we think we. can pass all over these guys, and we forgot they were from big12. too many mistakes on our part. we are still on our way to a great season. the young players got a great learning experience.
I agree that it could've been called, but if we cannot find a way to score from the two in a do or die situation with a potential championship on the line, then we do not deserve to win. Refs didn't help our cause, but we put ourselves in a position to take refs out of the game.Usually I'd be in your corner, but when a helmet to helmet blow on the QB on the 2 yard line with time running out isn't called, it does kind of affect the game.
I agree. Hangover from last week.Saban on TV now for press conference. He blames himself and not having the team ready. He said there are a lot of lessions to be learned here and the team still has a lot they can accomplish. He said two NC he won had teams with 1 loss. He said he was concerned about this week and said the team "seemed like they were out of gas".
