Low key reason Alabama lost this game is Saban's allergic reaction to call def TOs

On that 4th and 2 play, Saban should've called TO right after Michigan reset from a spread to condensed formation. It was clear they were going to do something to work some rub so McCarthy didn't have to throw into an actual window (because he can't do it). He just doesn't seem to do this even though our opponents love to do it to us when they realize we're onto some tricky shite formation or personnel wise.

I think a timeout could've been the moment to reassess how to react because the late resets and motions had been giving Alabama problems all night. Oh well, he's in his 70s I reckon so he's not going to change on this front.

They had done that same schtick all game and on first and second it was the same formation

I think the bigger issue was not calling one on the drive after that. We gave up three straight chunk plays
