Inability to mount sustained drives took its toll on the defense. We were completely exhausted... true freshman quarterbacks don't win championships. We learned that lesson tonight

I still can't believe we lost to a team that got beat by Pitt

What really sucked to see in the 2nd half...Bo got hurt and Bama couldn't play the same game plan of keep away and the D just couldn't hold up against that many snaps

Childish? More like reality.

Hurts struggles passing. When he doesn't he has one of our WRs dropping the ball.


When our WR can throw a better bask then our QB? We have a problem.

You are dumb. You can't run the ball 60 times a game. You can't run it on 3rd and 9. You cant run it when the entire defense knows it's coming.

Our quarterback had less than 50 yards through the air before that pass to OJ. You want to win? Maybe get a QB who at least somewhat threatens a intermediate to deep pass once in a while. Our best throw of the night was by a god damn fricking wr.


You don't get in 3rd and 9 if you don't attempt to throw it on every fricking first down and get behind the chains. I don't want to run it 60 times a game. But I don't want it to be 2nd and 10 or longer every fricking possession either. Your freshman QB is a train wreck throwing the football. Do you want him in 3rd and 4 or 3rd and 10? It's an obvious equation to me. If you keep putting yourself in bad situations, bad things happen.

The loss of Bo was major. He is not a 20 carry per game guy but it looks like we planned on featuring him that way and so when he went down it totally changed the game for us.

The defensive front kicked the hell out of Watson for the 1st 3 quarters but we all knew the kid would keep coming back. Their skill players madr some ridiculous plays out there. Our defense definitely ran out of gas but left it all out on the field.

It sucks to lose but it is a wonderful run. 3 straight SEC championships with 3 diff QBs. Hurts will improve going forward. Most of his issues are mental at this point. He has the physical tools and talent. Folks expecting another True Freshman experiment are dreaming...

We usually score on fumbles. Wish Hump blocked out that irritating midget Clemson WR instead of trying to go for a ball Ryan Anderson already had

We had quite a few negative or no gain running plays with our RBs and we also had a few false start penalties on 1st down. The kickoff and punt game was atrocious. It was a total team loss. Yeah the defense ran out of gas but they had to know a 4 quarter performance would be needed much like last year's game.

Saban is going after the refs. So he agreed with me and every other sane person who saw we got screwed.

Did Clemson even get a penalty called against them in the 4th quarter? Second half?

Those bitch arse refs wouldn't call shite on their WRs but would find something to call in us to extend their drives. It was bullshite

If you can give me some numbers on how many times we through the ball on 1st and 10 to bring up a 2nd and 10 id love to see them. The Clemson D had absolutely zero respect for the Alabama passing attack. They sat on every run play and we could barley do anything about it.

Hurts is a great runner and a terrible passer. He has time to improve, but right now I'd rather have almost any other QB in the CNS era

Blaming the refs is pussy arse bullshite. The refs didn't force us to suck cock on 3rd down. Admit defeat. Clemson outplayed us. The D could only hold up so long without help. Not to mention some of the catches they were making were unreal.

Considering they have it to the offense inside the 20. It shouldn't have mattered. Offense put 14 up on the two turnovers giving us great field position Bama wins this game as well. We knew the offense was a liability

I agree with this and this may be an unpopular opinion but I counted at least 5 times, 3 in critical game situations when a check was needed or a shift to not be put in a negative play. Hurts hasn't had that ability all year, D. Watson obviously did being a Jr, but that is something that comes with time being a signal caller in an offense.

Now it's time to recruit like hell till NSD and get another team prepared for another title run next year

No bit the refs insured their drives contiued while ours did not.

That effects the amount of plays the defense has to play.

They allowed them to do two illegal plays to score TDs. Two offensive PI yet would punish is at every moment for a hold, PI or personal foul.

The personal foul on Payne was ludicrous! The Clemson player was the initiator and contiued fighting when Payne fought back. Yet only one player was penalized.


We were screwed. Period. The best part for everyone else is that all wanted us to be
