First of all - haven't posted in a while here, I think I need a new account / change in name.
I know Alabama was heavily penalized in this game, but did it really make as much of an impact as everyone is saying it did? It seemed like for the most part they overcame almost every penalty. For example, when they had the ball on 3rd and goal from the ~2 yard line and got back to back penalties to bring them the 3rd and goal from the 17, they ended up getting bailed out by defensive pass interference (bad call) and having a first and goal. It also seemed like they converted several other 3rd and longs after penalties. If anyone has the time or ability, I think it would be very interesting to see each of the penalties that were called on Alabama laid out and the impact it had on the following couple of plays. Because it seems to me that in the vast majority of the situations (when Bama was on offense), they were able to pretty quickly make up for the loss of yardage as opposed to having to punt as a result of those penalties. Thoughts?
