Serious question. It doesn't add up. LSU manhandled a good Georgia team. I truly expected Alabama to name the score in the SEC championship game. Watching the game for the national championship, it was obvious that half the team was just going through the motions. There is no way if Alabama would have played Clemson in week 5, they wouldn't have destroyed the team that embarrassed them. There is one play at the goal line that was shown, where not one offensive lineman for Alabama attempted to make a block. Did the QB controversy divide the team? What happened?

I made this point a few days back. Bama looked like a team devided. Not taking anything away from Clemsons win. But that looked nothing like the Bama team id watched this year.

Maybe, but nothing has come out indicating such. I agree it is weird that we got boat raced by Clemson but shite happens when you cant score points in the red zone and your defense is arse. It's a bad combo.

I think it is something much more serious. Nick Saban seems to have lost control. His coaches do not respect him and it is clear his players feel the same.

If I had to guess, I would say the NCAA is in Tuscaloosa looking around OR Nick has let it become known that his departure is coming very soon.

Literally nothing has come out that would indicate this.

You're actually correct. Locksley was already head coach at another school, and a few other coaches might have been planning to relocate.

And Bama had to play Clemson. That's a lot of shite going down.

Nope. You guys not only got shut out in what was practically a home game but didn’t even make it past midfield until it was the second half and that to only once. Not to mention that game was the beginning of Bama’s current winning streak against LSU.

Yes, but there are problems in every locker room in CFB.

Look at the stats...minus the TO's bama played Clemson well. The lack of red zone scoring and TO's were the difference in a close game and a blow out. People act like a single game defines a team but it doesn't. Those teams could play 10 times and it's unlikely the outcome would be that one sided for either team again.

Not true. Clemson was 10x more prepared for that game on both sides of the ball. Bama expected to waltz in with the same game plan it had all season, but when Clemson was prepared for it, there was no back up plan.

Bama finally met a team that was better coached, better prepared and better conditioned than the team Saban fielded, and it showed. This was not a close match-up. Bama’s offensive linemen were on the oxygen tanks in the first quarter. That was an ominous sign.

Do people even watch these games. UGA was running the ball down LSU's throat. Holyfield left cleat marks on LSU players chest. Instead of continuing to push the weak LSU fronts shite in they went to Fromm and he couldn't deliver. The game spiraled out of control.

It was very similar to Bama not continuing to run against Clemson and going to Tua.

Sometimes coaches just have a bad day at work.

No, they weren't. They had one good drive in the first quarter running the ball, but Aranda adjusted, and UGA could no longer run the ball.

After Hollyfiled's 9 yard run at the 5:30 minute mark in the 1st qtr, UGA ran for:
3 yards
1 yard
-2 yards
3 yards
3 yards
5 yards
-1 yard
-2 yards

...before half time. 8 runs netted 10 yards.

For the game, LSU gained 5.4 yards per rush, UGA had 3.8.

Face it, UGA got outplayed AND out-coached in that game. I'm not sure where this whole, "UGA was running the ball down LSU's throat" narrative comes from.
