Correct but that’s not the point I was making. I was making a point about officiating like some were implying Tank was trying to get down and the defender just dragged him out of bounds. If that’s the case the officials would have stopped the clock and then restarted the clock with a full 40 and started the clock. You can’t take an offensive player out of bounds to make the clock stop. Now I’d you’re running the sideline and get pushed out the offensive player put himself in that position.

My takeaway from this game is similar to the others. We really struggle to close things out. If you look back, there are usually 2-3 plays that, if we make them, put us in a position to win the game.

We started one drive at Alabama’s 25, I think, and ended up having to punt because Finley took a sack that you just can’t take. We kick the FG there, we win.

Tank running out of bounds and stopping the clock just can’t happen. Love his effort but that ended up costing us the game.

On the flip side, Alabama’s QB, won them that game by not just making the big plays but also the small ones. There were 2-3 plays on the last drive where we had him sacked and he had the awareness to get rid of the ball. We make one of those and it’s a different game since they were out of timeouts.

Harsin is going to have to get us more playing more consistent or we’re going to continue to struggle.
