What's celebrated in Alabama is the nightmare of Georgia. Like don't even ask.

I don't care for it. There's nothing you can do about it.

I reached out to both Sanders and Parrish for this story. Neither responded to interview requests.

I'm sure after 2013 all the bama players woke up every morning and turned on the loop of the kick 6 to get their day started.

It's incredible how easily he threw that ball ~43 yards on a dime

especially when neither cornerback nor safety are providing coverage

Because Tua looked them off

I know bama fans like to think that, but sometimes a guy just isn't in position.
Parrish basically gave a free release, why would he do that? Because he thought Sanders was covering that part of the field between hash and sideline. But Sanders was in the center of the field and didn't even make a move to his side until waaaay too late. It's not because of tua, it's because he fricked up. It happens.

Because he was clearly following Tua's eyes.

Is there a video of this that shows the wr who caught the TD the entire play?

he immediately moves to the side, then moves toward the center as he sees Tua looking that direction, then desperately back to the side as he realizes he was fooled. Posted on 11/29/18 at 1:25 pm to genro
Are we watching the same gif? Putting a fancy graphic on it doesn't change the blown assignemtn. Look at hte bottom half...every receiver is covered or at least spoken for by a defender. That safety has coverage over the bottom guys plus the middle fo the field as well.
Now look at the top side. Parrish doesn't jam or provide any kind of resistance and simply lets smith run by him, why? Because again he knew (or thought) that sanders was behind him playing over the top. but what was sanders doing? Backpeddling on the hash mark and essentially not even worried about smith at all.
I know it's hard for bama people to believe that not everythign that happens is the result of far superior everythign, but this is a case where our safety simply botched his coverage. Not sure why that would lessen your enjoyment of the win any.

You put a lot of effort into this, Geno.

I don't know why it matters to UGA as either way he messed up, but I think it's pretty clear that he was initially going to cover the side but was fooled by the QB into drifting back to the middle.
Being fooled by the QB in that situation is pretty understandable. As a Senior I would feel pretty comfortable especially after the Freshman QB (with little film/playing time) took a bad sack in the Natty in OT. There is no way he could have known how good/poised that QB actually was.
Here's actually a better video of what happened:

Alabama was at least getting the first down on that play. If the Safety doesn't bite, there's a guy that will get the first down running on Tua's right. UGA needed to get pressure on Tua as he had about three options on that play. The UGA line failed to generate pressure.

Backpeddling on the hash mark and essentially not even worried about smith at all.

The safety, at first, turns his shoulders and is running directly at the "20" painted on the field. Tua is staring at the middle of the field and it obviously gets the attention of the safety and he holds his position as he backpedals straight backwards, again, because Tua has him worrying about the middle of the field now.
Then Tua drops the dime.

Georgia can't handle 2nd and 26
Well, let's be fair...all the years and years of frustration encapsulated in and force fed in one bitter pill is a lot to deal with. I can't wrap my mind about how the UGA fan feels given all the carrot dangling they partook in before the kill shot in this game to of all teams, Alabama. Think about the following sequence, how things looked at half-time, the utter failure of the kicking game to keep them alive...the crucial and clutch FG make by their PK(can we borrow him to kick for Bama as well in this game please?)...the sack on first down setting up the kill shot...that's a lot of suffering to go through genro. I can see how it would be hard to handle for lifer UGA fans in particular.
