Alabama football fans saw more bad than good for over a half of football Saturday afternoon. By the end of the 50-17 Crimson Tide victory, the bad may have still outweighed the good. It is hard to call a 33 point win, winning ugly. And staying undefeated while reaching 11 wins would bring unconditional joy to most college football programs.
But the Alabama Crimson Tide is different from most programs. In the context of an active Dynasty, arguably unparalleled in college football history, surrendering 17 points to a 4-5, FCS team is unacceptable.
Nick Saban took responsibility for his team not being “psychologically” prepared.
