Dying the slow death put us in an 11 point game going into the 4th quarter. The biggest play of the game was their 44-yard TD pass with 1:30 to go in the half, which was exactly the type of play we were scheming to prevent. Before that we limited the big chunk plays and kept Bryce Young in check. Same game plan they've used before but the difference is that Bama was efficient in the red zone and our offense did nothing to put pressure on them. If Bryce Young throws that pick in the 3rd quarter and it's a 1 score game (instead of a 14 point spread) the 4th quarter looks completely different. Even still, we had a chance to capitalize on those types of mistakes late because the defense was getting stops, and getting off the field, even though they gave up a lot of first downs.

Also, Brian Robinson had a career day but we held the Heisman winner (and best passing offense in the country) to his lowest passing total on the year (and second lowest Yards/Attempt).
