****OFFICIAL Alabama vs Ohio State IN-GAME THREAD****

[Bamaphile]

Bizarre play call.  That was like a free timeout.

I appreciate their help.

[Marshal Dillon]

We need 82 yards to score and we keep throwing 3 yard passes? Unbelievable.



 

[Bamaphile]

Too little too late.  That was a disappointing end to this year, but we probably over-achieved this year.

[Marshal Dillon]

Game lost by Saban, Eddie Jackson, & Sims. Stunning. We should have won by 2 touchdowns.

Two years in-a-row of extremely poor DB play. What's going on?

[Catch Prothro]

Probably should have thrown it to Cooper at the end there.  Best player on the field.

Sims and Co. overachieved this year, but were exposed tonight.

Congrats to CUM and OSU.  Good luck with Oregon.

Very good year. so close, but so very far away. RTR!

I wish I knew.  Or, better yet, I wish that CNS or CKS knew.

We gave up a lot of big plays tonight, but the defensive line and the linebackers were terrific against the run, especially in the second half. They handed the ball back to the O plenty of times. And the Scott kid would have been the MVP had we won.

Why we didn't stay with the run game I will never know.

But, a good year with a young team. They gave it all they had and suffered a lot of injuries for the cause. Congrats to them all for what they achieved.

I expect that the coaches do know, and have known for close to two years.  There is a reason Bama recruited probably the two top CBs in the nation, who are freshmen this year, Tony Brown and Marion Humphrey.  Bama lost a lot of talent after the 2012 season, especially DBs.

Wow, WALL-e is full of Alabama stuff about losing in the Sugar bowl. I have figured out we don't do well when we play in the Sugar Bowl. I guess if I live that long there is always next year. lol, RTR!

Yes.  I was hoping these two would come in and be an immediate answer.  It seems like I remember it took even D. Milliner a couple of years to turn the corner (no pun intended), though, too.  Here's hoping for a lot of growth out of Brown and Humphrey over the next 8 months or so.

Three losses in a row in the Sugar Bowl.   


Last win was v. LSU in the National Championship game.   

[bamaphil]

Very disappointing finish, but this exceeded all my expectations for the year and will forever be a favorite right behind the 2009 team.  Sims is now my favorite QB of my lifetime, and I wish we could have him for one more season. 

I'm excited about next year though.  We'll finally have depth AND experience on both lines and in the secondary.  Coker, assuming he wins the job, will have a slew of weapons and I expect Kiffin to develop an offense that maximizes Coker's strengths.
