The mistake that actually caused the GAME TO END and shut the door for good was a simple error that cannot
be said to have cost bama the game. No more than the fact that bama was charged with a foul for an illegal hit and
then the very same thing happens and A&M gets off scott free. I have said it here too many times to count,
you HAVE to win the game so convincingly that no error can cost you the game. Or else you do not "deserve to win."
bama fans here made it plain they felt they deserved to win, but that's FANDOM. That is not one of my usual comments
intended to rile fans. If you fail to win the game going away, you cannot fault a over-anxious kid for jumping into the
neutral zone. When bama lost to LSU in the regular season last year, it was not the kicker who lost the game.
It was the kicking game as a whole that failed the tide, as did the un-characteristic bad decision by Ol' Nicky to put his
kicker in an impossible spot. An irony is that les Miles turned around and gave it right back to Saban this time
around...yards longer than his kicker's career best...foolishness.
It seemed to me that the game was
lost on conditioning. The kid Manziel is a freaking EEL. You can't win if you
can't breathe. Chasing him around for 60 minutes is almost impossible. OK, sure, LSU did it, but that's LSU, lol.
We are just awesomemer that other teams.
Another possible reason bama lost is because Nick Saban does not respect
the no-huddle offense and has said as much. And it is obvious that he did not prepare his team to have to chase a
greased pig. I think it was a coaching let down after a tough victory against LSU. I said that nick saban won the game
for the tide last week and I think he lost the game to the Aggies.
