The most exciting part of the whole game was the fact that Greg McElroy was the TV analyst for the matchup, and he did a great job.
Alabama opened with a couple of lateral passes/jet sweeps to the sides of the field, and things were going well—two first downs on two plays— until Lane Kiffin decided to run the jet sweep again with the big-bodied Cam Sims. Maybe I’m not the one to question that, but it seems to me like Sims, with his 6’5” frame, is probably the worst candidate to receive a jet sweep. A couple of runs and a false start late, the offense was facing 4th and 7, and the coaches did not trust Adam Griffith to kick a 52-yard field goal.
