Good stuff, and good review of the final play (with details of our defense by Saban in video).

The A&M folks have been loudly complaining that there was interference on the play, but I don't see it.  Terrion Arnold (DB) touched Evan Stewart (WR) before the ball was thrown, but didn't grab him.  No contact after the ball was thrown.

If anything, Haynes King (QB) threw the ball late.  Watch the video in the link above, and you'll see.  Had he thrown it just as Stewart made his break it might have been a TD.  But it was so late the ball's trajectory pulled Stewart out of the endzone, so even if caught it didn't matter.

We won!   :lol2: :lol2:

The interference call to set it up was horseship anyway.   Their OL also tackled Will Anderson earlier in the drive.  Do they want to have to earn it at all or just have it given to them?

Well, they've already BOUGHT their team, so I guess they think they deserve it.  :lol2: :lol2:

They got away with at least a handful of blatant holding calls throughout the game. And the pass interference call that set the final play up was garbage - the receiver had no chance to catch that ball.
