Gotta say, the Bama entourage, especially #6, should have gotten a dressing-down from Saban. You're not his fan section, kids. You're his bodyguards. Your job is to watch for OM players moving in to tackle him. Had the OM player been just a touch quicker or stronger, he could have stopped Allen inside the five. He just slipped right past the upraised arms of #6. In a properly-executed situation, he would have been blocked out of bounds before reaching Allen.

Agreed 100%. I was not happy about that, I'm sure it will come up this week.

The more likely scenario, IMO, is a strip fumble. If it went through the endzone for a touchback, that would have been devastating.
