wasn't the issue.

There has been way too much argument about what THE issue was, as if there was only 1. There wasn't. There were several. And it's asinine to try and boil Bama's loss down to one singular culpability.

The list of issues includes, but isn't limited to (in no particular order):

Poor goal-line play-calling
Poor goal-line execution
Insufficient coaching adjustments as the game progressed
Missed tackles
Injuries on defense, most notably at OLB and Corner
2 interceptions
prolapseed anus-style kicking
ball/calls not bouncing/going Bama's way
Inability to get pressure with front 4
Missed assignments by Oline/RBs in pass protection
Mental mistakes in pass coverage
Almost no defensive depth across the board

...and probably a few more if I continued to think.

Simply put, nearly everyone shoulders a little bit of responsibility in the loss, and pertinent to this stupid debate about Tua, he's not immune. However, every single person who gets "blame" in the loss gets mountains of credit in the first 14 wins.

Many here need to stop painting players/coaches with such broad strokes, and many here need to quit trying to boil the loss down to one thing. In my opinion, the offense underperformed much, MUCH more than the defense (as evidence by net point production and production yielded - 9 and 37 for the offense and defense, respectively), but the loss lays at the feet of many.
