They had just pushed Alabama downfield for the clinching touchdown – though with Johnny Football, it's never quite safe to assume that – and now A.J. McCarron was in their faces, yelling again: "Excellent job, O-line! Excellent job!" No one said anything back to the quarterback. They just kept chilling, enjoying a pause in a shootout. And a significant step forward in "the Process." |
