Even when Alabama beat us 25-0 in 2013, we didn't "quit playing."

I just don't get his argument. Outside of Vandy or scrub directional schools, everyone generally plays hard against one another.

This. It's not like suddenly teams have discovered our secret that we can lose, and now more teams are going to beat us because of that discovery. By in large, even the less competitive games still looked like the players were competing hard. The last time I remember an SEC team genuinely quitting against us was 2012 Auburn, and they had a lot of other shite going on.
