I guess the home crowd creates this added pressure.
A truly novel concept--the "home field disadvantage."
Seriously, I don't think it's the pressure from the crowd. Might it be the pressure from the coah? Hard to say, but if I'm ranking suspects (other than random bad luck and playing slightly superior opponents) I'm going to put coaching pressure over home crowd pressure.

The ones that stand out that we won were Tennessee in 09 and Arkansas in 07. But we really suck in overtime. Everyone in the stadium knew Bama would lose in overtime.
