But I maintain that’s part of the problem: Kaho runs out of the FB/H-back spot a handful of times a game at most. He’s not prepared for much beyond his one job of hitting the hole and clearing it out. I’d be willing to bet he had no idea he had to pick up that blitz, it’s not his real position.

The execution of the pass play from the 2 got blown up with the blitz.
I would have liked Najee to at least get 1 crack at it running off tackle on 1st down, then maybe try the pass on 2nd down but as we all know it wasn't meant for us to go up by 8 at that point in the game.
I've been watching Bama now since 80 so nearly 40 years & I can't recall us throwing 2 pick 6's, 13 penalties, still only lose by 3.
Crazy game, you think with those misfortunes we got our arse beat 3 or 4 TD's.

This. If you’re going to run that play, make sure the FB is a FB and doesn’t spend the rest of his time at another position. Couple that with the fact that we had the backup QB in. That is getting too cute at a time where could’ve put ourselves in a great position to win the game. We were staring a TD in the face and the OL was doing a good job run blocking. If it was third down and they had stuffed us, then I’m a little more ok with it. We did the same kind of thing against UT and it bit us then.
