There were a lot of determining factors in the game. The interception they didn't call on the last drive was one. Frankly, CJ Mosely tipping the ball was a great play. Defenses are allowed to decide games too.

Again, this thread isn't about if Bama should have won. The deflection was a great play and Bama won and deserved to win.

But losing because you don't have enough time to run another play creates anger and frustration. In my experience, having possession in the red zone and not having time to get a play off is as frustrating and anger inducing a way to lose a game as you can get.

It's because your team didn't get stopped, you instead just ran out of time.

Bama in 2012 was the worst example of that but it wasn't the only one. Against WVU in the Sugar Bowl in the 2005 season, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that once UGA got the ball back they would score at the end of that game. DJ Shockley was on fire. UGA got WVU to 4th and 5 with a couple minutes to go.

And they ran a fake punt to get the first down and then ran out the clock.

Did WVU earn the win? Absolutely. That play call was genius by Rich Rod because he knew UGA would score if they got the ball back too.

But it's frustrating as hell to not have the time to get the win when you feel certain your team had the ability if they just had a bit of clock to work with.
