I know everyone is talking about how rare it is for our O to gain 457 and score 13, but although not as crazy - gaining a mere 285 yards and seeing 31 beside their name is wacky. Our defense was let down yesterday.

I believe they out gained us in every major category in 2011

Same issues we had last night, couldn’t convert when it mattered.

We actually had a similar yardage advantage in the 2012 heartbreaker.

435-331 (even worse before the game winning drive by Bama, was right around 285)


The advantages in the trenches become much more apparent in the red zone, and we saw that on full display last night.

The primary difference between 2011 game of the century and the rematch on 1/9/12 was that the Bama kicker made his FGs on 1/9/12.

Redzone offense and Redzone defense were about as bad as I’ve ever seen. They stole that game from us because their QB made the plays down there necessary to win and ours didn’t.

Thank you. Agreed. I didn’t even mention that Bama didn’t get a scoop-and-score, a blocked kick recovery, a return for a TD, a pick-six. Nope. It felt like 31 points without Deboer so much as lifting a finger.
