This was the drive that bothered me below we were up by 4 at this point. What happened to our screen game? Throw Davis something other than a slant. All three runs up the middle.

Scoreboard is all that matters in the end. Jubbas point was that we got way too conservative in the second half. The one series when we got stuck on our own 10 we ran the same play 3 times right up the middle and Werner forced to punt and give them good field position. We didn't go for the throat which was our problem early in the season but I thought we had gotten over that.

We reverted back to the lack of imagination that was one of our problems last season on offense. If you watched the Iron Bowl after the first drive of the second half Alabama was down and they got aggressive getting the ball to their best player and scored 5 straight tds. Davis was thrown the ball 3 times in the second half with one being caught. If memory serves they were all slants. If we saw them jumping his routes why not a sluggo? We just didn't go for it. I would have taken the points the drive we ran down their throats and didn't convert on 4th down but I like the aggression but not the play call, let Terrell read that and he would have given it or give him a routine n pass option. Where was that cut throat attitude after that drive?

Good season given the expectations but VERY disappointing ended to the regular season. Hopefully this was a learning experience for PJ and staff. They had not been in this situation before and have learned from past mistakes. This is a game you know PJ wanted badly which is why I was so confused by the second half. We didn't see that extra wrinkle we seem to have added each week. We could have used a gadget play or something to ignite the team when we got down but instead we went into a shell.

You have to take the good with the bad, love him or hate him he is our guy and I hope he takes this game to heart.
