somebody said Bama should have held/mugged all the receivers, which, after the defensive penalty, only would have left enough time for a tying FG (assuming they didn't have the balls to try to score a winning TD with no time on the clock)
at the end of the day, the midget played like a true freshman qb. take away that easy td he had to wide open #88 in the 3rd, his passing stats were atrocious.
that's because the refs can review any play any time without any prompting from the coaches. even obvious TDs/turnovers get reviewed, leading to unwatchable games
Bama D was gassed because the offense, even with great field position, went three and out far too often. then the midget scored with too much time on the clock.
I wouldn't play any linebackers against them. I'd use every spare safety and cornerback instead. Surprised no one has tried this at least once. You'd be vulnerable against the run, but the Pats use their RBs as an extension of the passing game anyway.
