re: I'm still not convinced that the Bama 4th down was a bad play call.

It was bad execution, but I still think you have to try to get the ball to one of your playmakers in space and make them run down field to stop you. If they do that, hat’s off to them for making the play to win. They didn’t get a new look on this play and didn’t have to do much to stop it.

Milroe pressed the line of scrimmage and got screwed by his right tackle.

The tackle doesn't have to win the block for the play to score. Just don't get his shite pushed in 4 yards backwards.

The Michigan DE above the left tackle did a great job crashing down. Yes, he was being down blocked. But he disrupted everything into the A Gap allowing the play to stop when Milroe tripped.

The RB was wide open in the flat, Milroe never saw him.

You can argue it was due to the low snap, but he would’ve walked in with a basic pitch or screen pass.
