This [BLEEP] game made me sick last night and early this morning. They had the momentum. Right when they picked that kid off in the 3rd quarter they had a chance to march downfield and make it a three possession game. Instead they got cute and caught and turned it right back over and from there on out the momentum stayed within Alabama's grasp.

Kirby Smart got out coached and outfoxed by his teacher. Kudos to him for making a tough decision by going with the unknown rookie. Hurts wasn't able to get it done and he identified that and rolled the dice. It paid off in the end. But Kirby got too damn conservative, too damn predictable and too damn soft on defense. And that's what killed us.

You cannot play conservative in football. Especially in college football where more guys tend to blow assignments, blocks or discipline. Just can't afford it. The fact that they kept trying to run Chubb all night right into that front seven was aggravating. It didn't work in the first half. They kept going to it in the second half and it ultimately cost us this game. So frustrating.
