1. OU is a bunch of unsportsmanlike asshats. They finally played someone that can out physical them and they didn't like it and started throwing cheap shots.
2. As a result of #1, Alabama lost their collective cool and played very undisciplined which contributed greatly to allowing OU back in the game.
3. ACC officials suck. They lost control of the game about the time that LB pushed Tua way out of bounds and some pushing ensued. When flags didn't fly, OU knew it was open season on Bama.
4. Josh Jacobs-can't say enough good things about this kid. He will undoubtedly leave for the NFL riches and more power to him, but of all the players leaving, I think he will be missed the most. I will certainly miss watching him work. Big salute to Baby Rhino. Godspeed, young man, get you another ring before you go.
5. This will be very unpopular but I posted something similar on the rant. It relates to #2. I think Saban's grip is starting to slip ever so slightly. I never thought I would see so many stupid penalties due to players just not keeping their cool, their discipline/training and poise. And if you had told me I would see that, I would think that those players would all be over on the bench for a long time while Saban blew a gasket. Is this evidence he's not reaching them like he once did? That they don't fear him so completely anymore? This might be the beginning of the end. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I know he dog cussed Keaton Anderson for his dumb play. I did not see his reaction to Davis pulling his helmet off tho. Wilson’s “hands to the face” penalty was just piss poor technique more than anything. But yes, there have been a lot of mental errors lately and I’m not sure what the hell is going on.

The two things that I'm worried about that will bet us beat are this and our pass defense. Davis and Anderson's penalties are absolutely inexcusable. I said it in another thread and was criticized for it, but IMHO, Davis compounded it even worse by getting on with Tebow, Spears, and the rest of the SECN crew after the game and laughing about it. That makes me wonder how much really sinks in with him.
At least Football Jesus won't run all over the field on us, but he may throw it all over the stadium. He may be more vulnerable against pressure than Murray, but our pass rush is going to need to make life miserable for him.
