Play calling today has been terribly predictable and our lack of execution on early downs has forced us into some impossoble situations on 3rd down. Defense has been on the field way too much and playing so many backups has just allowed their inexperience to be exposed.
The only chance we stood to win this game given the circumstances, was to shorten the game and keep the Bama offense (and subsequently our defense) off the field. That hasn't happened and the score, game flow, and play-calling reflects that.
