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.

That's the mind-blowing thing. I would argue that Jacob Coker was still pretty christ awful even at the end of the year, and despite that Saban and Staff STILL found a way to bring home the trophy.

I'v always been the guy during the off-season to question teams without a sure thing at QB, but after these last 2 years, I will never question Saban's ability again.

The man took a team led by BLAKE SIMS, and got the the playoff, and won the whole damn thing this year with a bad JAKE COKER. Unless this Barnett kid ends up being a trainwreck on the same level as Jeremy Johnson, I would pick Bama to roll again to another title in 2016.

I was called crazy on this board and in particular on the Bama board when I said after the game that for the first time in two years, I felt pretty good about the secondary. It was just a different feel - they were in the right place most all game.

It was a bad call and I'm sure he'd like it back but I could understand the mindset. They'd been in catchup mode all night. I do agree that a steady diet of Henry probably results in a game winning drive at the end.
