Really wished that Lane Kiffin could have kept his shite together for another week and guided Alabama's offense with the feel he'd developed over the back half of the season. Sark was a good playcaller for us but I don't think he really understood how to run what Kiffin was doing to maximize Hurts' strengths.

The back half of the season was when the offense started sputtering. They looked bad offensively against LSU, Chattanooga, Auburn, and Washington. Sarkisian's big mistake was the complete refusal to run the ball after Scarborough got injured. It was like he thought Damien Harris had never seen a snap or something. I will never understand it. If they run even three more times in that second half I think they win. Instead it was just hurry up into a three and out over and over until our defense couldn't hold up. Unlike many, I will never forgive Kiffin or Sarkisian for that whole scenario.
