He returned to his normal defense in the NC game and we definitely didn’t handle it well after Williams went out. Once the over the top was eliminated, our offense was pedestrian.


I don't think it was Kirby's defense. Alabama was well on their way to scorching that defense again before Jamison went down. They simply could not cover him.
I believe that was more of a personnel issue. Look at the number of drops by the backup receivers. There were more than a couple of dropped passes which would have been huge plays. Brooks dropped a pass inside the 5 yard line with just over a minute in the game which could have led to tying the game for OT.

We had NOBODY behind Metchie and Williams

Nobody

Blame it on Pete and Bill.

Team was just absolutely dog shite on 4th and short.

The thing that pisses me off the most is the statement above....I mean why not run the play from under center

Kirby is stubborn like Saban.

He will let you win if your QB/WR combo can hit the elite high difficulty passes.

Jamo/Devonta/Waddle/Ruggs etc were all capable of doing that, none of the guys we had to plug in after Williams and Metchie went down in 2021 were.

To your point though, if either of Brooks or Hall make a play we probably tie and head to OT with a chance to win despite everything.
