re: Why throw the ball with a first and goal from the 2 yard line?

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.
