I saw the game as two distinct halves. In the first half Alabama came out running when I think the Bulldogs were expecting them to ride Tua’s arm. They ran very well to set up timely Tua completions and build a three touchdown lead going into the half. But the Bulldogs made adjustments at halftime that stifled Bama’s ground game forcing them into third and long and numerous drive killing sacks. But the Bama defense combined with Bulldog mistakes and dubious calls by the officials kept the Dogs off the scoreboard.
