Ok I know I'm not nearly as detailed as some of y'all are in these kind of things but here is my take.
If you would have told me that at half Bama has 9 points I would have said "Then we must be leading at halftime" if I was told Bama finished with 25 I would have said "then there is a very good chance we won".
Our defense played Very well against the run minus the two long runs. Bama never really seemed to challenge us deep that much. But they easily completed passes underneath but our guys swarmed to the ball and normally made great gang tackles.
Offense. I mean damn not much to say. We just never seemed to get clicking. Lookin back on it Freeze should have taken the points when we had chances to. But on the opening drive I was ok with going for it there. Then on the final 2 we were in tough spots. Freeze knew field goals weren't going to win us the game and even though 25-9 or 25-6 look better than 25-0 either way is a loss. But overall I am a little disappointed in the O. I really thought we would lose in like a 37-24 kinda game. So the defense impressed me while the offense kinda shat the bed.
Before people really freak out we have to remember, who actually thought we would beat Bama? Now we need to get back on track and take care of auburn. I trust in Freeze to make the right decisions and learn from this game. We need to beat Auburn then try to take 1 from A&M/LSU.
Sorry I know it's a little scrambled up there but that's just how things were coming to my head haha.

Its like they knew every play we were going to run.

I actually agree with everything you said. Should've taken that first field goal. But since we didn't, we had to go for it the rest of the game to try to win. And I'm okay with that. Nobody likes getting shut out but its not like we didn't have chances. I'm disappointed in the loss but not the shut out. I would've been just as disappointed had we lost 25-9.
No I didn't expect to win but I didn't expect our offense to look that bad in the loss.
On the bright side, 2 things.... 1. Defense looked great. They were on the field the whole game and gave out but I was very happy with their performance. 2. As bad as it seemed, it only counts as 1 loss. The sky is not falling. Auburn now is the most important game OM our schedule and I think we'll be ready to play. (I hope

Completely agree. I'm disappointed in the offensive performance as well as the play calls, but the defense exceeded my expectations. And of course, as expected, there were a bunch of bullshite spots, but it's hard for me to get all that angry about it anymore when dealing with Bama.

I like courage and "going for it" as much as the next guy. however, If we'd have kicked the three gimme feild goals the 4th quarter starts with us only 7 points behind. At that point momentum is in our favor.
