Hard fought, but 7 turnovers will lose you games pretty much every time. I do like the fight, though. And the talent is there. Hope we can recover enough folks on defense to make Bama work for it next week. No way around it, the turnovers are about fundamentals and we know where that responsibility lies. We had a good shot at them. Turnovers was the difference.
You can see that the backs are careless with the ball. You can see that the receivers have a tendency to tip balls up every damn time. You can see that Dobbs rarely falls on the ball, but tries to scoop. These are all outside of a concept of valuing possession of the ball above all else.
What's with the shitty ass defense in the last 6 or so minutes? Seems like we gave up 300 yards in that span.
Which is what makes that throw by Dobbs hurt so much. No reason to force it on 1st and 10. We were fine.
I have a team of 7-year olds and each one knows to fall on a fumble. He failed to do that twice, and cost us the ball / points each time. One time? You had a lapse and made a mistake. Twice? You're a [dadgum]ed moron.
