Thanks. He will know how to fix it. Some coaching attrition may have to take place to do so. If anyone can do it, Saban can.Quite frankly, we got out-coached. I'm not a doom-sayer, but this is something that CNS can fix. It just never came up before this game...
Yep, 3rd downs and turnovers tells the tail. Also, Bama D didn’t have a single turnover in the last 3 games. The year just didn’t end kindly for our D.Tale of the tape right here. Couldn’t sustain a drive on 3rd down, couldn’t get them off the field on 3rd down and turn the ball over twice.
Figure it out and move on to next year.

Look, can you please just come forward as a Clemson fan. It would make it so much less awkward for everyone. There are plenty of level-headed non-Alabama fan posters who post on this board and they are very welcomed. You seem to be a non-combative poster, but the charade is borderline weird. Literally every post you’ve made has been about Clemson.Although a new member, i've been a long time reader! I have loved Bama since I was a young boy since my dad was a fan. one of many reasons i joined was because of what i was reading on here...clemson has not played anyone...all of the lop sided score predictions...Texas A & M...S. Carolina threw for 500 yards...weak secondary etc...i felt that Clemson was by far the best team we had played this year and that TLaw was the truth. I am shocked with the blowout but I think the rat poison got us... #RTR
You just made me lol and that's pretty hard to do tonight the disappointment i'm feeling! If you only knew my Bama ties and my love for the Tide! If you had read one of my earlier post i openly admitted that I do know several of the coaches at Clemson .t.30 plus years...back in my and their ball days...so I do trust them when they said what they did about their team and their players. So i simply tried to communicate on here...whoooa! Slow down...this is going to be a game and a team that we have not seen this year...but i honestly did not have many takers. so there...now you know why i spoke of clemson often... #conspiracytheoriesLook, can you please just come forward as a Clemson fan.

and i have been impressed with how the non bama fans have been embraced...i do think that is pretty cool...Look, can you please just come forward as a Clemson fan.

I think those some of those things cover kind of interesting areas. The injuries caught up to Alabama (thanks playoff) and ended up influencing the pressure Alabama could bring. I still expected more but it made a big difference. Another was that Alabama didn't recruit as well last season, and had an uncharacteristic miss on a guy they thought they had in Justin Ross. The guy who puts up over 150 yards and had some huge plays. So we can mull that over a bit. Also, I wonder how much the play calling was influenced by the terrible kicking game? Alabama lost one point early, then along with serving up a short field to Clemson on another bad kick, I wonder how much of a cascading effect that had in some of those calls both in terms of the game not being as close and not wanting to try a field goal.To my (albeit armchair QB) eyes I think it came down to:
1) Inability to put real pressure on Lawrence even on blitzes. He had all day to throw on most plays.
2) Exceptional Clemson WR play and some real busted coverages at critical moments. Once again some of our guys got lured out of position.
4) Questionable playcalling. It wasn't even just the fake FG, though that one was the most baffling.
There's no doubt that the injury bug hit us early and often this season and it definitely impacted performance in multiple areas and definitely in some of the areas where we struggled in this game.The injuries caught up to Alabama (thanks playoff) and ended up influencing the pressure Alabama could bring.

Interesting you said what you did KI think those some of those things cover kind of interesting areas.

The good thing is we can hope Alabama is healthier next year (yeah right), the recruiting has been improved, and we can cross our fingers and hope the guy coming in will finally fix the problems in the kicking game.
You’re correct. There was a missed PAT.When I woke to the score I automatically sorted our 16pts as 7, 6 and 3 and assumed a missed PAT, 7, 3, 3 and 3 never occurred to me (not seen the game so don't know if I'm correct but I'm assuming I am based on your post.
