… Indiana would win handily all 10 times. Correct?


If yes, honestly, when was the last time we could say that about any team vs any Alabama team?

20 years?


There were no pick 6’s, no scoop & scores, no fluke tds or special teams TDs.

Alabama did nothing to “beat themselves.”

Just got flat out physically whipped in all phases of the game.

Should be concerning to Tide fans.

Also no highly questionable calls by the refs.

Going for it on 4th down in our own territory was pretty stupid.

And the Simpson fumble was also a turning point in terms of killing what little momentum we had.

But our inability to stop the run and our lack of ability to run the ball would have been present in all 10 games.

I'm not really concerned. Historically this isn't the type of game that happens. This is a match up that was only made possible by the 12 team playoff. Any other year we go to some bowl game against a team like Oklahoma and in to the next year.

I think it was more a statement by Indiana that they are legit, and yet another signal that 12 teams is too many.

It was a statement that Alabama shouldn't have been in the playoffs.

Ok, then reduce the amount of teams in the playoffs because there aren't 9 teams better than Alabama.

Bama beat every SEC team they played this year. Who else in the SEC can say that?

Bama got physically whipped way too much this season. Coaches better be unloading the Brinks truck on some portal linemen, I hate losing in the trenches.

You are kidding, right?

Alabama beat themselves.

They didn't run, they switched QB's, they failed to score, all classic bama miscues.

A clear statement to just giving Bama passed because what Saban done in 2020 while being the only team allowed to use the NIL.

Wrong. Notre Dame and BYU would’ve been more competitive than bama today.

No SEC officiating with shaky calls or no calls to bail them out

Gump mentality. lol. Between thinking you’re world beaters and wanting to fire your coach. Fighting for most delusional fan base.
