Bama fans are funny.

They're still making injury excuses for their loss in the NC game, but they aren't even making the right ones.

The reason UGA won the second matchup was not about Bama's offense... it was about Bama's defense. In the first game they forced two key interceptions that erased 3-7 UGA points and put 7 Bama points on the board. Even with Bama's offense scoring on UGA... those defensive plays are what turned it into a blowout. Bama was only up 24-17 at the half.

Bama didn't make those plays in the rematch. Their only turnover was a gift from the refs on a fumble that should have been called an incomplete pass (like they did with a similar Bryce Young fumble/incomplete pass earlier in the game). Bama's defense failing is why they lost in the NCG.

If they wanted to make injury excuses, they could have talked about their DB's. But they keep going on about the WR's even though they weren't the reason for the differences in the two games.

To be honest, I don't think the DB's would have mattered either. UGA simply played better offensively the second time due to better game prep. Bama used up all their unexpected adjustments in the first matchup.

The DB's going down did not help and I did mention this, but we had balls dropped by backups that likely are not if its Williams or Metchie, drops that really mattered.

With them in the game we are a viable offense that can score points, without them..not so much.
