This...

we don't need anyone getting the JC Copeland Out of Control award at a crucial point in the game. Just keep our heads screwed on and play football to win.

Championship teams keep playing to win through questionable calls. They don't chicken out on the sideline and run it into the line to use clock and hope the defense can hold. They don't kickoff out of bounds when the opponent only needs a FG to tie... or let teams with a marginal passing game and no TO's drive down the field in less than a minute.

Don't blame the refs for losing when you do those things or depend on them to help you win. Alabama beat us twice because we choked it away - plain and simple.

Of course if it makes you feel better...
