Well Bama could easily have 2 more Nattys if not for injuries to key players. If I could flip one game I would choose one of those.

The first game was the 2016 or 17 Natty against Clemson. Bama was actually killing Clemson for a little bit. Clemson had no answer for Bo Scarborough. Everyone in the stadium knew he was going to get the ball but Clemson still couldn’t stop him. After he got hurt Bama couldn’t run the ball and Hurts could not throw the ball well enough to keep Clemson honest. Bama lost the game on the last play but if Bo had not got hurt in that game Bama probably wins that game by a comfortable margin.

The second game was last years Natty. The Georgia Defense had no answer for either Metchie or Williams. Once Williams hurt his knee in that game Bama had to have another WR step up and keep Georgia honest. Nobody did so Bama lost. Had Bama had either of those 2 WR then Bama probably would have won a close game. Bama still had their chances to win that game anyway but nobody stepped up when it counted. Credit Georgia for making the plays to win when they had too but it sure felt like Bama was going into a gun fight with a pistol full of blanks without Metch and Williams.

If I could flip one game I would take either one of those games. Bama was very close to having 2 more titles in the trophy case.
