Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Alabama won big, even covering a large spread in the process, and to many Alabama fans it almost felt as if they’d lost. Indeed, all of this happened, among other things:
- A lost fumble in the red zone
- A roughing the punter penalty on 4th and a mile, followed by a coverage bust TD
- A blocked punt deep in Alabama territory
- Several bad drops
- Multiple coverage busts
- A missed field goal
Despite all of that, the Tide walked away with a 28 point victory in SEC play.
