BTW, great football teams are good in all aspects of the game including Special Teams, kicking and coaching.
True. Alabama isn't bad at special teams though. Foster actually had quite a good season percentage on field goals going into the game. Him freezing could easily happen to any college player, so it's not like him having one bad game automatically means Bama's special teams game is shite.
Auburn played the game close enough to be able to take advantage of Bama's many mistakes. I don't necessarily think Saban was outcoached; Bama outgained AU by over 100 yards and had 3 (really, 4, if you include the no-kick from the 30 yard line) missed field goals, plus the same number of touchdowns as Auburn. How often do you lose a game like that? Not very often. Sometimes crazy things just happen. It's part of the sport.

Chronic, you do realize that Auburn is just a better team this year don't you? The faster you accept that, the better off you are going to be.
Its OK man. You can't be the best every year. Auburn is just a better team over all.

Auburn and Bama played even for near 60 minutes. Auburn won the game and therefore the claim to being the better team since they ended up with identical records before the SEC CCG.
Alabama and A&M played pretty near even for 60 minutes, and Alabama was the better team in spite of A&M's superior total yardage gained.

I'd say Bama played close enough and was able to take advantage of Auburn's many mistakes. Luckily Auburn won rather than almost giving the game away to alabama.

How often do you win a game when your D gives up 296 yards rushing in the SEC. Not often... Auburn did their part too. In a game like that, it comes down to who makes the best plays in crunch time. Auburn did and won.
