Only an idiot would go for it on 4th down on your side of the field while the other team has all the momentum. Heupel has done good things but he has to know that was a bonehead decision. The play calling the second half is baffling.
Actually, this game is 100% on the staff. I'm convinced Milton is not the problem. Coaches did a terrible job, especially in the second half, of putting us in a position to win the game. We came out with a good game plan initially, but never made adjustments. Alabama did and that's why they won. Simply got outcoached, not outclassed. The bad angles, missed tackles, 4th and 1 calls, etc. are all on the coaching staff. If you can't get under center on 4th and 1 or 4th and less than 1, kick the damn ball away.Let me preface this by saying he didn’t call a perfect game by any stretch, but the nonstop snowball of flags or lack thereof are impossible to gameplan against.
We ran well, threw well, hell we even defended well. Nothing you can do to beat the stripes on top of it all. Some calls could’ve been different, but hindsight is 20/20 when in a fair game this is completely different.
We were screwed the second we laced them up. Team did enough to win, Bama just could play beyond the rules and refs created new rules on the fly to screw us.
josh did not do well in short yardage, red zone killed us.The refs didn’t help, but neither did going for it on fourth and short twice with obvious plays. He’s lucky only one of those dumb calls cost him points. McCullough bailed him out on the first one. I still think he’s a good coach but hopefully he takes this as a learning experience. If we get up a few scores on another opponent, don’t play to sit on the lead. Dumbest strategy ever.
