The worst part about that mindset is that they had every opportunity to get up off the mat and fight back. Let's just say that the refs did frick them over early on.

LSU was up by 3 with under 2 minutes to go and we made plays to win the game. Adversity is just a part of sports. Great teams overcome it. Either Notre Dame quit, or they had no business being on that field in the first place. There is no gray area.
fricking this

Here is my take. A lot of people will say how well bama played. I unfortunately don't see it that way.
quote:
Any jitters we had that could have been tamed down wasn't because of several opportunities given to Alabama. Changing the defense hurt and you could see that in the first possession. The jitters kept up. The early ref calls kept those jitters going. The juggling call where they called eiffert out of bounds and clearly he was in and not juggling the ball hurt a lot. Then the call with the punt coverage where our player was being pushed into their returner and still did not touch him did us in. Any hope that our kids had left in them was gone at that point. Players missing tackles, being way out of position, soft coverage in the secondary all hurt us badly. The seams were too big. Saban saw that and started throwing the ball.
The entire game from play one was a loss because we changed our game play. Its very simple. The tide did not win that game last night. We lost it.
I hate laying blame on anyone, but the coaches will hold my blame for this one. How Kelly either let someone talk him into changing the game defensively and offensively or making the changes himself set us up for the loss from the get go. If someone were to tell me we would change the entire defensive scheme and throw the ball more than run before the game I would have not let it happen. Play what's worked all year.

He was in fact juggling the ball as he went out of bounds but had established possession prior. Kelly had a challenge available and chose not to use it, if the call were challenged and then blown they would have more of a beef here. It stands as a screwup on Kelly's part, IMO.

I mean, you can say you lost the game if its close and came down to a couple boneheaded mistakes such as LSU giving the game away to Clemson. But when you are absolutely crushed? C'mon son.

uh, you can kinda get away with saying that if you lose by 2 or 3 points. Not when you lose 42-14.

ND didn't change their core defensive scheme IMO.

It's never enough for Bama fans that they win. Everyone must worship them and be reminded several times daily that they won.
Nobody minds a little gloating for a few days, but this will go on for the next 20 years.

I caught part of SVP's show during lunch and he was talking with a sports reporter (did not catch his name) who had picked ND to upset Bama. SVP was ribbing him a little and they guy responded back something along the lines of " I made my pick way before this game started. Once i was field level I knew ND was going to lose when I saw how huge the Bama linemen were. They all looked like they should be in the Pro Bowl."
