I hope most of our fans don't think playing press coverage with a 12 pt lead and 2 and a half min left is the smart way to play it. I still can't believe we played that way. If anything you want bama to dink and dunk down the field...you don't allow an 85 yd pass play in that situation


I agree that it was a stupid call on Aranda's part, but considering that every time they scored, we answered, and they never had the ball with a chance to take the lead, anybody with half a brain can see that we controlled that game from start to finish. Sure, I'd love to have beaten them by more, but the bottom line is that we weren't even favored to win and we did, in their house, in the "win or stay home" game (at least it was called that until Bama lost). Those things should matter more than the score.

and we were only a recovered onside kick from possibly losing...and it was one hell of a play by Jefferson to recover that kick. I don't care because we won but don't think most of the country doesn't think well bama only lost by 5 with a chance at the end.
