Team just isn't mentally tough.

Seen it all year. Getting outs when the bases are loaded or have multiple runners. Pitching often fails in the clutch. Last night, Tanks didn't pay attention and cost us a run, possibly the game. Much like a missed extra point.

Then the meltdown of Herring and Little. Game on the line, have to throw strikes and they just threw ball after ball, sometimes in dirt.

Saban loved wolves. There are no wolves on this team.

He also had a home run, a double, and stellar plays in the field.

But yeah, Saban’s players are perfect never commit penalties, turn the ball over, nothing ever.

Guys like Skenes, Crews, Morgan, and Dugas are leaders who are infectious in the clubhouse and can pull a team together when it matters. Who’s doing that on this team? Nobody if you ask me.

Those are wolves. He used to say that at the booster club dinners when he went on tour. Wanted guys who could take initiative and not wait to follow someone.

Yes, Tanks did all that but he screwed up when it counted and it cost the game. Attention to detail every moment on the obvious things .

That happened in like the third inning

Players who don’t make mistakes ever do not exist. He more than made up for his 3rd inning blunder with everything else he did last night.

We had so many leaders last year. This years leader is White. He is playing on pure talent and no matter how much he did last night he cannot make the mistakes he did at 3rd. If we had other leaders that would not have made a difference but all the pressure is put in him. I would not want to be him. CJJ does not have confidence in other pitchers to pull Herring when he saw Herring in trouble.

Yes, but he's pressing and putting too much pressure on himself. A true leader raises the play of those around him
