Disagree, kinda. 21 of those points were from turnovers, short field, and special teams. The defense did a fantastic job, especially in the first half. Alabama offense had the ball for over 35 minutes and our defense was gassed in the second half leading to some bleeding. They take fault for half of that, we played lights out on first and second down, then kept giving up 3rd and longs and could not get off the field yet again. Other half is the issue we've been wrestling with for years: too many offensive three and outs, turnovers, or quick scores. The lack of a running game will make or break us for the foreseeable future.

Most of the rushing yards came in the 4th quarter. Also we badly needed Fadol or Victor Evans because far to often they got to the edge.

We have a HUGE crutch on the other side...The freshmen and soph's are playing really good but that doesn't mean it's not a crutch.

Can't get off the field when we HAVE to...

We really missed RN blowing chit up in the backfield when we were in a must stop situation... Didn't have anyone stepping up to do that..

We can't contain our EDGE AT ALL... They were around us all night..

Somebody please tell Davis just to take a knee on kickoffs... Running them back to the 11 yard line ain't working...
