In my opinion only one time players put their personal interest ahead of the team that may have cost us a National Championship. It could have even been subconscious on their part. I thought Allen, Foster and Humphries were not their usual selves when Clemson boat raced us with a freshman quarterback. That was the best defense Saban had in my opinion. We could have lost with a top performance from them but I doubt it.

Think about the lack of discipline the past few years, especially 2022.

Allen, Foster and Humphries lost to 2016 Clemson with Watson. Down to the last play.

We were boat raced in 2018 by Lawrence. That year we had an all world offense...not an all world defense.

We lost that game because a defensive coordinator with a pulse could pick apart Locksley’s offensive playcalling, on top of him going for it on fourth half a dozen times.

3rd drive: Field goal from their 6
6th drive: Downs on their 22
7th drive: Downs on their 14
8th drive: Downs on their 2

We only had 40 less yards than Clemson that game, but we did stupid shite like calling a full house run to the left with Tua, on 4th and 3 in the redzone

Locksleys playbook was throw a slant at least 1/3rd of the time
