for not making adjustments and slowing down Alabama’s offense during the first half. We cannot wait until halftime to make these crucial adjustments. Most of our problems were related to missed tackles and allowing Milroe to escape and beat us with his legs, a lot of which comes back to preparation and coaching. Our defense was not in position to keep Milroe contained, and the many missed tackles just killed us. Carson made some good throws, but he made some terrible throws too; too many of his passes were behind our receivers, and the interceptions were disastrous throws and just killed us. One INT was probably because our receiver ran the wrong route; we were very fortunate that an Alabama player dropped another sure INT on our own 5 yard line. Carson will have to play a lot better if we are to beat these top ranked teams; he has probably cost himself a lot of money and draft position in the NFL so far this season.
Part of our second half success was due to not as much urgency on Alabama’s part and their coaches dialing it back a little. We did play much better in the second half, but bottom line…. the effort was there, but we were not prepared for UA’s initial explosion; we were out coached and out played, way too many mistakes.
