re: 159 Yards of Total Offense

The play that bothered me was the 3rd and 1 play that followed it. The one thing we didn't need to happen was lose 4 yards.

How about in OT #2 when he calls Tank up the middle (when Bama has this already figured out), stuffed. Then tosses it to tank on 2nd down, stuffed for a loss, then third and long let’s our one legged backup throw over the middle incomplete.

ETA: I don’t think Bobo knows how to get an offense in rhythm, and he seems to just look at the play card and pick a play.

Probably grounding on 2-3 plays by young in last few minutes

I thought they were going to hard count to try and get the D to jump offsides on the 3rd and 1, but nope just lost yardage instead.

Anyone talking about tank getting out of bounds is dumb. He recognized it and got dragged out.

Anyhow, we have no team without him. Pretty sure our DC gave up a 97 yard final drive with no blitzes.

Sorry. Tank should have sat down to make sure he was inbounds.

Once he decided to bounce it outside, and he went at an angle straight for the sideline, he was in trouble.

I see it all the time, where the RB knows its close to the sideline, and you make sure you don't let the defender grab you, by dropping down to avoid momentum or them driving you out of bounds.

He only decided to try to stay in bounds when his feet were a foot from the sideline. Too late.

Ofc there were other points near the end of regulation that also could have helped. Like 3rd and 1, and the line does absolutely nothing and Tank is dropped for a 4 yard loss.

I know TJ was banged up, but for someone who's 6'7" or so, I'd rather Bobo taken his chances having him fall forward for 2 plays in a row. I know, hindsight and all that...
