Just listened OU post game.
Riley. - we outplayed 3 qtrs. We outscored by 17. ( Coach Riley- Saban took his foot off the pedal by running and not passing. Had Bama kept passing, score would have been 72- 48 Bama. Should have been 52-34 if Saban had not been so nice. Also, Saban screwed his own fan base by taking the knee.
Listening to Riley, I realize he will never win a Natty. Too much blame on others and not himself.
Also, why would any top defensive players want to play in Little 10 ? Perhaps Riley and Herman will lead the change to play Big Boy Football in the Little 10

That conference is where the NFL-aspirations of defensive recruits go to die.

Meh, whatever. He was just talking like a coach. He doled out tons of respect for our program before and after the game. Saban said that the only time they stopped us is when we stopped ourselves on offense..........I don't think he was being a dick there he was just being honest.
Same with Riley.

He can say they outplayed Bama for 3 quarters... may not agree but he can make a case for it somehow. As far as the outscoring goes it was very obvious Bama called off the dogs ffensively. Bama clearly took a few knees instead of punching it I. For Riley to completely ignore that is B12 douchery... at its finest.

Riley is on crack and I thought the same when I heard his comments. Lets see, you outplayed us for 3 QTRs?
1st QTR 21-0
2nd QTR 10-10
3rd QTR 0-10
4th QTR 14-14 and we downed it inside the 10.
I see one QTR, the 3rd when we were outplayed. They were outplayed the 1st and 4th and the 2nd was a push. How can he even say they outplayed us for 3 QTRs. Smh
1st QTR 21-0
2nd QTR 10-10
3rd QTR 0-10
4th QTR 14-14 and we downed it inside the 10.

Good for Riley.
Anyone who can trigger some Bammers is cool by me. And he clearly has.

He isn't dumb, he knows full well what happened. There was no point in the game where they could stop Alabama either through the air or on the ground.
What he can legitimately be proud of is that his team never quit. After they got punched to the canvas, they got back up and kept fighting. His public quotes are simply his way of recognizing that effort. It wouldn't do his team justice if, after imploring them to keep fighting, he came out and said all that effort was for naught.
Privately, however, I guarantee you he and his staff will not ignore how overwhelmingly they got their arse kicked.

Agree with this. He is in almost the same boat as Brian Kelly/ND. Based on the results on the field against playoff caliber teams they can’t compete physically. I think they both recognize this as a potential negative going forward.
Both of them were making excuses and trying to prop their teams up after the game with the media. ND living off past accomplishments has run its course and it is clear that the B12 is not close physically to SEC teams, Clemson, teams like Ohio St, Michigan, etc... b12 is 2nd tier and everyone outside that conference recognizes that.

I'm normally for showing class and taking the knee. And only had Bama in moneyline parlays and team total for 1st Half(not ATS), but yes Saban hosed Tide fan gamblers.
With Riley inheriting one of college football's elite natty title contenders, albeit one usually put in it's place come Playoffs, by scoring 50+, Tide backers would've scored the ATS win, plus Bama exceed it's game team total..
More importantly it would've sent the message that the Big12 plays limited D, and help discourage recruits into thinking that OU/UT,etc..are within true striking distance again. As both have great young HCs to sell bright futures to their states/fanbases/recruits.
Style points and narratives matter(right or wrong), and play roles. Which is why the 6X Natty HC took a knee and moved onto Clem Part IV, and why Riley is giving sell job of a double-digit defeat after trailing 28 zip from jump street.

Lincoln Riley reminds me of that one out of place redneck friend from high school whose favorite movie was Scary Movie 12.

Plus, it took 3 self inflicted penalties by Bama to keep it from being a 14-10 2nd quarter win by Bama.
They only outscores Bama in the 3rd quarter. They got the ball 1st.. Bama only had 2 possesions, the 2nd pssoesion started with 2min the 3rd and ended with a TD in the 4th.

Honestly in the 4th wasn’t it something like 3rd and 10 when Bama sacked Murray for a 10 yard loss and the Bama player inexplicably pulled his helmet off and received an unsportsmanlike 15 yd penalty giving OU a gift first down?
Has to be in the top 3 of idiot plays of the year in all of football. Kept drive alive resulting in a TD.

Merciful Saban had us take a knee. We should have handed the ball to Jacobs again.
