Bama had the #1 defense in the country last year and they made the play they had to make to win the game against a potent offense. What won the game for Bama?

They put up 350 yards against our porous defense and burned us with the play-action, and then shut us down in the red zone to end it. We had an extremely effective offense last season and yet we only scored 21 offensive points against them. Our special teams kept us in the game with the onside kick recovery in the first half and then the blocked FG for a TD in the second half. Take away that FG block and the score is 32-21 or even 35-21 if the FG is good and all else remains the same.

Yes, we were a hair away from beating Bama, but it wasn't because of our defense. However, their defense stepped up when it was needed and kept us out of the end zone.

We put huge offensive numbers on them and a lot of points for an NFL shut down defense who put a bunch in the pros and the only reason they stopped us at the end of the game was due to our own mistake...

I realize that UGAs defense is not as dominant as all of us would like to be, but I also think many of you lack perspective and your logic chains make no sense...
