I just don't understand how our defense can be so stingy for 3.99 quarters and then give up an 80 yard drive in less than 50 seconds.

I'm more pissed about the failure to manage the clock and score a TD on our final drive than I am about Bama's final drive. I'm not sure if any kind of study has been done, but I it seems almost as though a driving team in a two-minute drill has a slight advantage over a defense if they only need a FG. Think about it. Most D's are going to play soft to avoid giving up the big play, which allows a disciplined offense with a good plan to nickel and dime the length of the field in a fraction of the time normally necessary--especially with CFB's first down rules.
