IMHO my team lost because our coaches played too conservatively especially after they lost their main weapon, RB Bo Scarborough, to injury. Yes Jalen Hurts is a freshman but they needed to open up the offense like they did late in the fourth quarter much earlier. All of those three and outs early in the game wore down our defensive line and they couldn’t pressure Watson later in the game to stop their comeback. This one is on the coaches.

Hurts has regressed as the year proceeded; much like Barrett of OSU has nosedived from his play last year...
Bama wins the game easily if they have a QB of no more than average skill at throwing the ball...
