yall are moving the goalpost.
The fourth quarter counts the same as the first quarter.
The defense allowed 20 points in regulation over four quarters. I would have taken that before the game in an instant, and assumed our gameplan and personnel could score over 20 points.
Kendrick Law got zero touches.
Bond had 4 receptions
Jam Miller had 1 carry
Justice Haynes had 4 carries
Milroe fumbled the ball away and took like a 100 yards of sacks like he has ALL SEASON, and threw for 116 yds and zero TD's.
The center snapped the ball all over the field from shoe laces to the moon like he has all season. The offense sucked.

Milroe didn’t fumble the ball on his own, the defender knocked it out, it was a great play by him, they made the plays when they had to and we didn’t.
The two defenses that have given up the fewest points in the last 12 years are 2021 Georgia and this years Michigan defense, both gave up 10.2 points a game.
You can say Michigans stats were inflated because of the big10 offenses and maybe so, but they have a great defense this year, and their defense was the cause of most of our struggles on offense.

There’s no doubt the offense next year is what has to improve. The defense played well all year and as long as they don’t regress next year they are fine. As good as it’s going to get without true game wreckers up front. Hopefully Overton and James Smith can offer more on the D line.
Offense was ranked in the 40-50 range overall and gave up around 50 sacks. That’s simply not good enough at Bama.
Defense could have won the game and they failed to close it but they were the only reason it was close. Dominated the 2nd half until the final 4 min.
Milroe and the offense can’t come out next year having the same issues. There has to be improvement. I want to see a well oiled machine. Theres no reason not to be a top tier offense in 2024. No excuses.

Speak now. I want to know who thinks the defense shite the bed giving up 20 points in a playoff game.
You quoted me out of context; I didn’t say that the offense wasn’t at fault in this game, I said that it wasn’t the offense’s fault if the defense was gassed. We had the ball for more plays and almost 5 more minutes than Michigan; if the defense was gassed (I don’t believe they were), that’s not on the offense…
The offense didn’t have a good game and deserves a lot of the blame; the OL was porous, Milroe was off, the WRs didn’t have a good night, and our center struggled again…a long list. The defense played great in the second half, up until in Michigan’s last possession…but they’ll be remembered for giving up the tying drive late in the game…and then letting Blake Corum run thru them in OT in two straight plays…

the defense wasnt gassed. we inexplicably shifted back into pete goldings defense and got pete goldings results. at least thats what it looked like to me.
i had told my brother shortly after the seccg, i hoped the long layoff didnt cause the team to revert back to early season form. well, i have the answer now.
the defense held up good, except for when they absolutely had to, smh...

I disagree. What has been a staple of Nick Saban since he arrived... the 4th Q conditioning program. I think he and his teams pride themselves on being the ones to bow their necks in the 4th quarter and make a play. The defense had their chance on the 4th and 2 and looked absolutely lost again. Michigan OC had been saving that play all game because he knew he could scheme an easy conversion. The offense had a chance to step on their throat with the last drive and didnt do it. The drive is different if Jalen doesnt underthrow Prentice on the deep crosser, but I dont blame him for throwing off his back foot when he had been hit like that all night. I wish our OC had been saving something all night to use in that situation.

This ones on the offense for sure
It was about as much of a team loss as it gets.
Defense played pretty well all night except for like 4 or 5 BIG plays that changed the game.

While agree our D looked lost, I disagree that the Michigan OC saved that play. They scored their first TD using that play (or a derivation of it); Corum went thru the middle of the line, went left, no one picked him up, McCarthy dumped it off and he went in untouched.
The play before that 4th down, Corum ran a similar pattern but we picked him up and had him covered…but on 4th down, we let him run free again, not sure why…looked like Moore and one of our LBs both ran with the tight end…
I think Saban should’ve probably called a timeout on that 4th down, once they saw the formation, to make sure everyone was on the same page…

Guys a great CEO, but hes never been the best headset guy and will get whipped without a clear talent advantage. Those are his exact words when he got here.
Everybody knows its not money he is planning to retire on its the timeouts hes been saving up his entire career. They are in a big vault like the one scrooge mcduck has.
