Honestly, I think that was Kiffin's worst coaching job of the season. Henry was ripping off runs left and right the 4th quarter, and when we got the ball back down 6 we should have let him run more. Kiffin got cute and Coker threw a pick to seal the game.

I 100% agree. Ironically, I would argue it was Kirby Smart's best Defensive coaching performance despite the number of points given up. If you remember, Henry was shredding us mid/late in the 4th because our Defense was gassed and hanging on for dear life. That was caused by Kirby Smart adjusting his game-plan, and forcing our offense into four straight 3 and outs.

I remember telling my buddies at the bar when we were watching it that if Bama wins, it was because of Kirby Smart. Even if in that scenario he wouldn't have gotten the credit.

I agree, I actually thought our defense played pretty well that game. Kelly played a great game and made great throws. Most of the big plays were a result of Ole Miss making perfect plays, not defensive breakdowns.

But yea, Kiffin got caught up in the catch up mode towards the end and let Coker try and win the game. Early season Jake Coker was not ready for that.
