Bama’s line was holding all night


I had a thread about this earlier today but not sure where it went. The "College Football Nerds" YouTube channel is really highlighting this in their post game analysis. There's a Bleacher Rant article about the Bama win and in the photo used for the article intending to show a BY hero QB shot Nolan Smith is in the background and is clearly being held by his jersey and his wrist.

With BY's elite release speed, holding on the OL gives him a HUGE advantage, especially with those elite WRs. It's as if someone realized that simply not calling holding in the trenches equalizes our DL vs their OL and allows them to carve up our secondary.

Exactly! It gave them a huge advantage over us. You take that away and we are getting after the QB and we have enough personnel in the coverage to limit the explosive plays.
I do think going for it in 4th down and failing gave them extra momentum and a field goal would have made the score manageable. This whole game would have been different.
Who controls the SEC officials? What would motivate them to help Bama in this situation?

My theory is two teams in the playoff and look at what we have now? More money to the conference. This isn’t a football game this is a money game.
