re: Home and Home series that would just be good for CFB in general

True. And they were white hot at that time, and had unbelievable chemistry.

And yet if Kiffin hadn't lost his mind when we were running the ball for 8 yards a pop (he INSISTED on throwing about every down when we were running it down their throat) and Ragland didn't have to leave the game (they ran for an 85 yard TD right over the vacated spot), who knows how it would have ended? Not saying Bama would have won, and if's and excuses don't matter, but it would have been nice to have found out.

And that was clearly Saban's worst D at Bama. That was kind of the peak of Bama's problems against the Spread (The Barn and Nick Marshall lit us up a couple games before). Saban made a lot of changes after that.
