I'm not sure I've seen a worse officiated game.  Bama's OL frequently held and never got called for it.  Is it any wonder we didn't get to Milroe?   A&M sacked him 5 times and our pass rush is better than theirs, hands down.  

The one that got me was when our LB clapped and the refs threw a flag.  That's the first time I've ever seen that.  

How do you hear a clap from a single person in the stadium>?

Simulating snap count is automatic penalty and everyone is in shotgun using the clap so our defense should know not to clap 

But the hold on Baron on their long TD pass ….WTF !!!!!

and then Heupel going for it on 4th …..terrible decision , terrible play call . Alabama’s offense is not good so make them go 85-90 yds instead of 40 

I didn't understand the play call at 4th and inches at all.
They needed to put in 340 lb Elijah Simmons at QB for the play with a quarterback sneak....
...or 320 lb. Omari Thomas.
We needed less than 1 yard on two separate 4th downs and didn't get it.
That said, I was convinced we had gotten a 1st down on the play before one of those 4th downs.

But give credit to Alabama's offensive line - not committing a single hold against our defensive line the entire game is pretty amazing...

I don't think we need a D-Lineman running the ball to get a yard.

How about going under center and sneaking it with your 6' 5"  245 lb QB ?

These shotgun formations in short yardage situations makes me insane.  Butch ball nonsense.

Hypeul has soiled his pants several games this year.

He needs a shave and a clean set of drawers

I have to say, Milton isn't all his fault.
The receivers have dropped a lot of passes this season.  Keyton has dropped at least 2 wide open touchdown passes.
And the receivers aren't getting as much separation as last year's receiving corps did.
And I'm not as impressed with the play calling this year - new Offensive Coordinator isn't as good as last year's?

It all gets back to QB play and it isn't just over throwing or missing receivers. It isn't all arm strength either the QB has to be able to read the defense, scan the field to find open receivers, have a little touch on short passes, make the plays under pressure and other tangibles besides throwing a ball ninety miles an hour on a froze rope. 

Even Alabama with all their talent is still not as good as they could be because of their QB situation. 

If you don't think it isn't the QB take Tom Brady for example to see how the Patriots have faded into oblivion since he left. 

Great quarterbacks make the entire offense look better, makes the plays when needed and opens up the entire offense so it isn't limited.
