What a wretched and disappointing way to end what otherwise was a great season.
Even though I haven't watched any of the sports talk shows this morning, I'm sure there will be a focus on Tua's really bad interceptions. Those were factors in game.
However, what really determined the game was line play.
The Crimson Tide got very little pressure at all on the Clemson quarterback. I don't think Alabama had one stinking sack. We shut down their running game for the most part, but when a quarterback is sitting back there unscathed and able to pick his receivers, your team is going to get beat.
The Tide defense apparently really missed LB Christian Miller because they didn't look like themselves.
In addition, the Clemson DLine, with all kinds of talent, played a great game. We could talk about some of the play calling, but on certain plays the Tiger DLine just flat out beat the Alabama OLine.
Winning football comes down to line play.
