Try making chicken salad with chicken s***. 

Surely u don’t believe that. If that’s the case Auburn wouldn’t have scored 24 points . The alleged talentless oline were opening some pretty good holes to be chicken S

I didn't hate the defensive play call at the end either.  Blanket the end zone with 8 DBs playing zone and make Milroe make a 30 yard throw into a mesh of coverage.  He threw a prayer up to the corner when the guy wasn't even open.  He was just hoping maybe he'd win a jump ball and our guy didn't do his job.

It was basically a Hail Mary. We lost it.

Maybe.  It helped that our guy turned his back on the QB.  One of the main points of zone defense is that you are facing the QB and both see the ball coming and see if the QB takes off to run.

What I saw was the routes made him switch to that player. I think the route was designed to rub him off and he was trying to catch up after that. Thats the way I saw it anyway.

Was it . It was only him and the db more like 50/50

At that point in the play, dudes are just running around trying to get to space.  There are no routes.

[Hank2020 3,228]

I believe if we were to have been asked b4 the game that we played that well, we would have been pleased.  We had our chances in the end but in reality if the center had not miss-hyked the ball, they would have scored a td anyway.

Copium is strong in here...

Great defense overall.  Horrendous decision not to force a run a the last play. 

💯

Our defense played great for 60 minutes and it's such a shame to see a coaching decision in that situation cost us this game.

Maybe no routes perse’ but definitely a plan to rub the defender. Its why James switched.

That is the worst possible way to lose.  I am so frustrated beyond words.

I can think of worse ways. Getting blown out could have happened. I feel your pain though... First Iron Bowl in 30 years that both my wife and I were at together since we were in school back in'93 and I thought we would feel that magic again, but we did feel it. Hopefully the 80+ recruits at the game felt that same feeling and also got a taste of the classless a**holery that is/can be Bama.  As far as I'm concerned we won. 

P.S. Screw those refs

Of course they switched.  That's what you do in a zone defense.  No one is covering a man.  They're covering an area and handing off to the next guy as a guy moves out of their zone.

Eh, JABA...over and over again, at some point we need to have someone fed up with this stuff. I know, I know, he doesnt have the players, wait till next year, *fill in whatever excuse you want to use*

Obviously CHF plays not to lose instead of playing to win, he has shown it in multiple games and most we have lost. I'd rather be agressive vs passive and I don't see him changing. But next year things will be so much better when we play on the road, lol...just wait till next year...

Could New Mexico State have gotten the real W tonight ( I know we got a moral victory W)

This right here is heavy copium.

Again there still have to be some coaching involved. Otherwise Jimbo would still be employed . 

Jimbo had talent to coach. Hugh does not. BIG difference.

They switched in the left 8’ of the endzone. They were both in the area but the other bama wr ran in front of the guy covering the final recipient. It definitely looked like a rub play to me but I’m sure your correct.

They’re 6-6, brother. They didn’t acheive that phenomenal record by having too much talent. Trust me on this.

You know you aren’t going to find me on this side of this comment!! Lol

Is this how most of us are feeling tonight? I sure feel like Charlie Brown! 🤒

I really hope some teams cause chaos tonight. Hoping we could make that happen. Sigh.

Would rather have beaten bama than go to a bowl game

I just don’t see how this roster keeps oscillating from being group of 5 level to leading against the two most dominant SEC programs. Am I the only one confused with the committed effort of some to automatically blame the roster every time we lose a game we should win?
