Play calling was only part of it. Our DB falls down on a deep ball and OSU scores. Sims tosses a pick 6 and then a drive killing red zone INT. Defense breaks down and OSU takes advantage of it. We lose 2 to injury on D and it turns a good D to an average D. A taunting penalty starts the momentum shift to OSU, but most of all OSU was just the better team.
I would agree...it seems nussmier? when he was here and now Kiffin fall in love with the pass. Couple case in points...Bama runs for 7 yards then 3 yards for first down...then passes three straight times with 3 straight incompletions then Bama gets the shank punt and throws it again for an interception. As I saw that tight-end lined up for the first time all game at that spot I knew they were going to throw it to him. It was too obvious. I think everyone has fallen in love with these high powered offenses and forgotten that running the ball can win you games too. Using up clock keeps the opponent off the field, the defense off the field. It wasn't that long ago that Bama only threw the ball , 13? times in the 2009 Bcs championship game.
