Connelly’s theory started in his season preview of Clemson, where he wrote that, “Clemson wasn’t really 28 points better than Alabama last year,” before going into more detail by pointing out that “the title game’s strange ‘Alabama wins every first down, and Clemson wins every third down and red zone snap’ formula wasn’t particularly replicable.”
In plain English? In a 44-16 loss, Alabama may have actually outplayed Clemson, and was unlucky to lose in the first place.
Madness, right

Alabama was favored
They were winning at some point in the 2nd quarter
They were running/moving the ball with relative ease
Dang, they had about as many yards as Clemson I think
But 44-16. Turnovers drastically changed the score. Just like when we lost in 2018. They outgained us 261-188, we had 14 first downs, they had 16, but final score was a "blowout" 24-6

Alabama's season. They crushed everyone in their path thru 13 straight games. None were closer than three touchdown deficits and most were 5 or 6 TD leads. This was the best Bama team as a whole put on the field in decades.

2 turnovers is what I remember.

we had more against them when we beat them the first time, iirc.
Stopping them on 4th downs was huge and fake FG was stupid.
Outcoached and outplayed. Nevertheless, hope we go into the next one with the "leave no doubt" attitude.
Again.

If you just looks at the stats, I don't disagree.

But points aren't scored from stats. The difference in the game and where Clemson won by a huge margin was preparation, coaching, game plan, and execution of the game plan. Clemson won the plays that mattered, Alabama won the plays that didn't. Clemson was playing chess and Alabama was playing checkers.

Yards given up means crap.

The only way Alabama was going to stay in that game with us was to score a lot of points. Venables did a magnificent coaching job and basically said dont get beat deep. We gave up the run to keep everything in front of us. Why... basically when they get in the red zone, it squeezes the field. We knew we could completely control the short yardage situations.
We basically were letting them get in to the redzone to tighten the field up and then say ok, now what. Nothing... thats what. They had nothing. They could not beat our line with theirs and they now had their homerun threat eliminated.
Also some amazing things from our defensive sets...
the second interception - It completely confused Tua..and rightfully so. The safety played the underneath while the corner played over the top. That is a bizarre play; you almost always have the safety over the top. Tua saw the safety low and then just launched it. SUCKER! Cornerback turns and sprints back because safety had underneath. Again, perfectly executed perfect play call that is not normal.
the corner sack - this one again is bizarre. You use motion to get a read of what type of defense we are in: man or zone. The cornerback motions with the receiver so more than likely man. But its not, its zone, ok, great disguise. BUT WAIT! Mind blowing time... the motion actually sent the cornerback into the blitz lane instead of the safety. WHAT! That again is highly creative play calling. Tua never saw that coming because there was no one over there to blitz. Corner is moving with receiver so at best he is trying to disguise zone.
TLDR - Venables is amazing and creative. He toyed with them. Yardage meant absolutely nothing and he knew it. Tua homeruns were the only chance they had to keep up with us. Took those away in creative ways that confused the hayull out of Tua.

Of the year against a talented team. Bama received an ### whipping for 3 quarters. We deserved to win.
