I am sick and tired of every Alabama defensive player and coach saying they lost the game because of one play out of 166.

I hate to defend Saban because he is a whiny little bitch and usually scapegoats someone else for a loss. But this time I don't see him doing that. He said he sent the play to the league office, but then added that the TD resulted from the players' mistake in not covering their assignments.

And he's right. By the time our O lineman was 3 yards beyond the LOS, Bama's corner and safety had already bitten on the run and could never have caught up to Cody Core streaking down the sideline. The refs threw a flag on the QB being over the line, but he clearly wasn't. The lineman clearly was a yard or two beyond the allowable, and it should have been called, but it had no effect on the play. Sort of like a minor block in the back 20 yards behind the play that doesn't get called.

Saban confirmed Wednesday that Alabama sent the replay into the league’s office for clarification on the play and lineman who appeared downfield, according to CBS Sports, which is not a reviewable call under the current rule.

However, Saban didn’t blame the touchdown on the missed call Wednesday.

“These plays get blocked just like running plays, and people are running down the field,” Saban said on the SEC’s coaches teleconference. “So it looks like a run, but somebody’s running out for a pass. Hey, we work on these plays, we should cover them, we know what the rules are. We have to execute and do it correctly, which we did not.
