Oregon had two in the 4th quarter when trailing by 20. If you want to quibble over what's "garbage time", fine, but I think it's pretty silly to think we couldn't have stopped them if the score had been 23-13 instead of 33-13.

Still even if you only take away those three TDs, it brings our 81 down to 60, comparable to Alabama's 55. And of course, we've played much better offenses than they have.
