Cayden Green & 3rd and 24

[onemizzou]

I'm not sure Cayden was ready to play today. If you didn't notice but we pretty much never ran to the left side today. If there is a way to make run game one dimensional that was about as close to it as you can get. I can't say that they didn't run to the left because of Green but I don't know what other reason it could be. Lack of a good run game cost us a lot today.

While I thought the defense really stepped up in the second half, the 3rd and 24 that ultimately resulted in a 4th and 8 that 'Bama converted was a HUGE play. Sure you give up 5 - 10 yards on the play but not 16. They're not going for it If it's 4th and 14 from the 45. Just a terrible play by the defense.

The reason we lost today was bad QB play, poor coaching, and dumb penalties.

Yep.

There are turnovers and then there are turnovers.

That was a TO in my book. Not officially but the third down play got the ball rolling.

Hardy has most of his yardage running right this year. So it was not out of the ordinary.

That pretty well sums it up.

Alabama has better players, better coaches, a mountain of tradition, and don't forget more - way more - money. Plus the refs give the Tide the benefit of every doubt.

I agree that we favor the right side but we only ran left twice. It's like our run game was one dimensional, we eliminated half of the field on our runs.

Not terribly insightful. That's the case in most every game played.
