re: What are the on-the-field reasons why Barnett or Cornwell aren't ready?

If Deandrew White catches the ball that hits him in the chest on 3rd and 7 towards the end of the 1st half, Ohio St wouldn't have had enough time to score right before half at least. And ohio St wouldn't have had as much confidence the rest of the game. I think that one drop changed that entire game for the worst for Alabama
