re: Why isn't anyone admitting that JFF actually lost them the Bama game?

Actually, just give them Nick Fairley. Although he was about the dirtiest player I've ever seen, he was always good for killing 1-2 drives by himself each game (and Auburn had a lot of close ones that year). aTm doesn't have anyone like that on D - they just needed somebody to force a couple of mistakes on one or two drives.
