After Bama went up 34-24 in the 3rd qtr, we ran a little to keep their D honest but passed twelve times with only three runs. But, I'm only a sheeple. What do I know about football?
And, I never bitched about the loss.

Take out our last drive. Good god. Are we down by 3 scores and you are bitching that we are throwing 6 times to try and catch any fast break?

After Bama went up 34-24 in the third quarter, we ran 3 plays (2 passes and 1 run).
Before we ran any plays ,we took a delay of game. 1st and 15.
Pass, run, pass.

That's what you are bitching about? Down by 2 scores going into the 4th quarter and we pass, run, pass and give the ball back?

The reality is that we should bitch about our defense not getting us the ball back. Bama held the ball 11:21 in the 4th quarter alone.

Down by 3 scores in the 4th quarter, anyone bitching about 6 passes is a sheeple. I absolutely dont budge on that remark. If you own it, wear it.

I NEVER bitched about the game. I merely stated we had to give up the run game and throw the ball after going down two scores in the third quarter. YOU are the one that claimed I was bitching. By the fourth quarter we HAD to throw the ball to try to catch up quickly. A fast TD early in the fourth and we could have run the ball more, eat the clock and maybe score a TD or a FG to tie the game.
I can't see how we could have done anything different in the fourth quarter than what we did, except complete a few more passes.
Personally, I think Pickens is not running great routes and that's why he isn't getting more throws.
