thoughts on the game after sleeping on it...
bama played near perfect. had 2 series that i can recall that they made mistakes/were out of sync. the big mistake was the fumble. missed block and poor ball handling by mac and osu player did what good defenders do and forced a turnover. he out of sync drive still resulted in a fg, so i'm being nitpicky a lot.
osu, for their part, also played pretty much mistake free, just not quite clicking and were missing way too many people. and that's unfortunate. with those players, the game is much better, though my bias says bama still wins that one the way they both played.
fields is a baller. hope all the injured/sick players for both sides get back 100% and have great careers. osu had an amazing season in a regrettably unforgettable season.
bama's season should go down as one of the best ever. it might not, cause a lot of people will have * beside it. but bama played all p5 opponents, went 13-0 beating 5 top 10 teams, and only 1 game was within 2 scores. and that 1 game they had a 18 point lead at half and the win was never really in doubt. only 1 team tops that 2 score margin stat, '95 nebraska (closest game 14 pts). they broke record for most individual awards, first time since 40's 3 players in top of heisman, and broke numerous sec and ncaa records as a team and individuals. just really fun to watch.
congrats osu. sucks we didn't get to see a full strength osu. good luck next year.
