Or…and just spitballing here…if we had been fully healthy in either game.
However we both had bad injuries and the games were played. We won when it counted in spite of all of our injuries and Alabama did not.
But if it makes you feel better you can make excuses and cry about lost opportunities. It only shows that you are like every other fan base.

Not us. We had a bunch of injuries and are back. Depth.

Every team has injuries, yet only Alabama’s count. Got it.

And Tennessee’s excuses for this year?

And yet with the easiest slate Alabama couldn’t get in. What does that say?

Last possession? In the last possession of the game Alabama was down 15 points.

Bama injuries wasn't fair while winning a rematch loses a lot of luster similar to when LSU lost to Bama in a rematch
this is like saying LSU needs a coach who can win two to prove that they didn't just luck out and back in to one.
I mean portal QB who no one thought was much of anything that ends up being Curt Warnerish.
And two loss national champ with the two losses coming to middle of the road type teams on a decent, but not great year.
That's a stupid argument above, but no more stupid than the one OP proposes.

After Williams went down, they thought about suspending the game and resuming a year later after he rehabbed fully but then they realized the other 169 players were already there and decided to resume the game. I know, crazy right? Very unfair to Bama.

Either:
A) Saban can't recruit quality depth
or
B) Saban can't coach up talent he recruits to go next man up when injuries invariably hit.
Which is it?

Has there been a team impacted greater by injuries than the bama team in 2021 SEC championship and the bama team in the CFP championship?

I can't believe this is still the topic of discussion a year later. Incredible. Georgia is the reigning national champions and no amount of whining or debate is going to change that. The world needs to accept that Georgia won it all last year and just might do it again this year. You can't argue or debate 33-18 off of the scoreboard.

Stupid take. Dawg is on auto pilot and holds the Big Stick. That injury excuse could be used in any game not just the Natty.

quote:We already know why we win. We were the better team the second time around.
We are discussing why you won.
UGA’s defense played differently than they did all season in the SECCG and that led to a second quarter that made all the difference in the game. That defense regrouped and came back with the plan that they had used the entire rest of the season and the result was much different.
In a previous post I called attention to the passing stats between both games. Young threw for 421 yards in the SECCG and 369 in the natty, including a 62-yard play to Latu (who ended the game with over 100 yards receiving). Young was still able to get yards without Metchie or Williams. The problem was being able to turn those yards into points. Bama had to settle for FGs instead of TDs. Turn those FGs into TDs and the game looks a lot different. That’s what our defense was doing all season prior to round one: conceding yards between the 30’s for FGs. We brought pressure when we needed to to force those FGs, which we didn’t do the first time.
The big takeaway that you need to realize is that it wasn’t Metchie or Williams that were the difference in the game, but Young, and that was due to defensive scheming and pressure that the UGA defense brought in game 2 that they didn’t being in game 1. Young wasn’t as consistently effective because he got pressured.
See, you seem to think that UGA didn’t do anything differently the second time, and that the only difference in the outcome was a pair of injuries. That’s just not the case. As soon as you let go of that fantasy, you will begin to heal.

Depth isn't the topic
If you had other players step up and make plays when starters were down and out, you wouldn’t need to complain about injuries. On a team like Alabama’s, where 4 and 5 star recruits are the norm, and where “the process” is alive and well, you should expect the backups to be able to produce when needed.
Saban chose to go with the backup QBs against us in two prior meetings and they delivered. What was different this time? WRs don’t have as much pressure on them as QBs. They had TEs and RBs to support them, as well as a mobile QB who can scramble to buy time for the WRs to get separation.
As others have asked: was it a recruiting problem or a preparation problem that led to the WRs not be able to step up when they were needed?

Also, in the second game, UGA evened up the turnover battle and didn’t throw a pick 6.
People who think that the same teams lining up twice will lead to the same result fundamentally don’t understand sports.

Certain Alabama fans won't let go. They can't let go. In their minds, the only way Alabama loses is if there's cheating or some other form of unfairness. The possibility of them being outcoached or outplayed doesn't enter their heads.

I would recommend not engaging mbogo. Dude is just going to keep on trolling until you get bored and then someone else will bite.
