But if we completed those passes!!!!

Different fans watch games with different levels of detail.

We have simple-minded, bottom line types that aren't able to see any differences between this game and the last few.

But, those who are capable of understanding the game can see that, unlike the last couple of years, we were able to successfully move Alabama's defensive front and, more impressively, were able to protect the QB for the most part.

That difference gave us chances to make plays downfield via the passing game. We had guys running open at times. Honestly, I think we were closer to winning this game than we were last year in a 10-0 game.

The "moral victory" crowd really isn't satisfied with that. But, they recognize that the ability to do those things seemed impossible 4-6 weeks ago. This team has improved significantly, and the fans can see a path to success (being a legit contender) moving forward.

Now, 9-3. Get there. No excuses.

Like I said, we have several different type of fans. The "bottom line" types are the worst though.
