re: Alabama is the best team in the nation

I felt we would lose the game in overtime because of our kicking woes. I fully agreed with the decision to go for a longshot FG at the end of regulation.

When we were up by a touchdown with 40 seconds left and gave up that pass, THAT was when the national title escaped us. We can point to a lot of other things, but to me we blew the big one when we gave that up. (And I know it was an absolutely remarkable play by Marshall, I just felt that there was SOME defense that could have ensured we didn't do the ONE THING that allowed them back in it.)
