after watching it fully....there were a whole lot of mistakes that shouldn't have been made by either team ranked this high...poor decisions/choices, drops (wide open through hand drops), FG misses, under throws, stupid penalties, and then some (it was almost the only reason there weren't any TDs was because whichever team driving the ball committed one or two of these errors to end their drives' momentums....especially seemed to be the case with Alabama)
...it was a defensive battle yes, and a very good one at that...but I'm not so sure it necessarily lived up to any sort of "game of the century" title...(esp with how that OT went)
