For Riley to completely ignore that is B12 douchery... at its finest.
He isn't dumb, he knows full well what happened. There was no point in the game where they could stop Alabama either through the air or on the ground.
What he can legitimately be proud of is that his team never quit. After they got punched to the canvas, they got back up and kept fighting. His public quotes are simply his way of recognizing that effort. It wouldn't do his team justice if, after imploring them to keep fighting, he came out and said all that effort was for naught.
Privately, however, I guarantee you he and his staff will not ignore how overwhelmingly they got their arse kicked.

Agree with this. He is in almost the same boat as Brian Kelly/ND. Based on the results on the field against playoff caliber teams they can’t compete physically. I think they both recognize this as a potential negative going forward.
Both of them were making excuses and trying to prop their teams up after the game with the media. ND living off past accomplishments has run its course and it is clear that the B12 is not close physically to SEC teams, Clemson, teams like Ohio St, Michigan, etc... b12 is 2nd tier and everyone outside that conference recognizes that.
