National Championship game busts


Jun 1, 2016, 6:34 PM

Just watched the championship game again. Kept hoping we wouldn't have 4 busted plays this time around. Didn't happen. Darnit. Eliminate just one bust and we win. If we are going to get back to this game again, Venables is going to have find a way to eliminate the broken plays. Alabama didn't have any broken plays like ours and we still almost won. Come on now. Stop the busts.

Class of ‘71. Went through “rat season” and glad I did.

None of that was BV fault. LB overrun the gap on the long td run, and one of our 2 new safety draftees didn't cover the right guy (TE TWICE!!!).

Virtually, every play where one team makes a great play is the result of somebody on the other team missing, or not properly carrying out, an assignment. Granted, some are great plays, but a great play by the other team negates them. The pendalum swings both ways, and yes, AL missed some plays and assignments, too. We just missed one too many, and they did get extremely lucky on the onside kick. Rarely is one executed that perfectly, no matter how much you practice.

if Mack is in the game, those two secondary breakdowns don't occur and we most likely win the game.

I wonder if there were there any failed druggies involved in those plays for bama. We will find out when it all shakes out.

Agree. And we really missed Korrin Wiggins back there all year.


Jun 1, 2016, 9:25 PM

I know he was out all year, but his reliability and flexibility allowed our other safeties/ DBs to be more aggressive in 2014. The cracks started showing in 2015- and when Mac went out, it was too much.

Best Is The Standard


That early INT from DW was the play I always


Jun 1, 2016, 9:54 PM

think about. We had them on the ropes, and were a ball thrown just a few feet higher away from crushing their fanbase and soul. No INT and I think we rolled them 50-20 or so.
