They blew a lead against Oklahoma. Kyler Murray with virtually no help took on Alabama by himself and came within 10 points after falling behind 4 touchdowns.
Most teams would just give up.

You are correct.
Bama's current HC probably learned from this game ... if he's smart.
I'll bet Nicky sought-after him immediately following this game ... had a talk with him.

Nick would not have gotten a lead . New Sheriff in town

Last we had a huge lead on Bama late in the second quarter Bama scored before halftime.
The entire second half it was all Bama
Tennessee stayed in the locker room it looked like.
So we are all capable of blowing nice leads
A few hiccups and things change fast.
I think Bamas defense was getting gassed out. But the offense was still hot.

It can't be underestimated how HUGE it was that Georgia executed EVERY 4th down the went for.

This is a strange melt.

Meh. I prefer to think of it as a superb opponent getting its head out of its arse and making some adjustments and getting hot. But the good guys got the W and I fully understand the game being played throughout this forum by people who were metaphysically certain that the program would disintegrate without Saban but are getting the message that the inherently rightful order is going to remain intact.

It’s not really blowing a lead if you still win
You need to learn the definition of blowing a lead and blowing a game.
They didn't blow the game, but they did blow the lead.

Not a melt, but I hate it when people change the definitions of what things are.
It's like when people say some team got upset by a lesser team saying "they dominated you" when they won by one score
Domination? No.
Huge upset? Yes. (Not about UGA and Bama game, just an example of people not understanding the meaning of terms.)
There was only one game on the OP's whole list that's even comparable to what DeBoer almost did Saturday. And yes, anyone on here would be upset with the coach for losing the game. His freshman phenom made a play and saved him.

Silly. Saban has beaten Georgia by 17 twice with Kirby there. Once against arguably Georgia's best team. And he was winning by 24 when Georgia tacked on a meaningless TD near the end.

Which one? #2 true freshman on offense or the true freshman that wore #2 on defense? BAMA was making plays all night. They simply made more than Georgia.

The only one on here that really compares is blowing the 24 point lead to Auburn.
2007 Arkansas.
We were up 21-0 and 31-10 at points in that game. Arkansas actually came back in the fourth quarter to take a 38-31 lead. The score was 38-34 when John Parker Wilson led that two minute drill of a drive to take a 41-38 lead with fewer than 10 seconds left on the clock.

Both, but I'd say the WRs play was bigger. You were reeling at that time. Heady play by your young db to get his head around and track the ball, but the ball wasn't thrown well and our WR didn't put up much of a fight.
They didn't make a lot of plays from the third quarter until the 17 year olds go ahead TD. We can't come back if you were making plays all night as in throughout the game. Definitely a break there where you couldn't get it going.
You get ahead by 28, lead by 23 late into the third quarter, something had to go wrong for a pretty good length of time to be losing near the end.

I don't think anything "went wrong" for Alabama in that second half. Our defense was doing a pretty good job against your offense even in the second half. However, I think you went 5-for-5 on fourth down in the second half, and some of those conversions were just perfect throws that no DB was going to be able to defend against.
Our secondary is also young and you were attacking the weakest part of our defense with a QB who most people have going in the first round come Draft Day.

Yeah, plus the biggest difference is Alabama won last night. Saying they blew the lead is nothing more than a moral victory and a shite talking point for message board trolls
If you're OK with blowing 28 point leads then you are soft or lying to yourself

Your WR wasn't in the play. Beck slightly underthrew the route and Zabien had to actually contort his body going the other way and he reached for the ball. That was a very difficult catch, especially in that big of a moment. But the Hollywood Williams catch was beyond spectacular to witness. The speed and quickness demonstrated were uncanny. I've never seen the like of it.

Yeah, Georgia was going for broke, using all 4 downs and letting it rip. BAMA's defensive backs were on their heels but the team still had good moments. The recovery off the Beck fumble and Williams getting the juggling Hollywood catch were a few. They simply didn't finish, but they weren't playing badly.
