A sack here.
A turnover there.
Just one stop in the red zone and it would have all been different.
It’s been 17 days since Alabama lost to Clemson in the final second of the College Football Playoff National Championship. Though coaches are busy on the recruiting trail, retooling the roster to make another run next season, the knowledge of those handful of missed opportunities in Tampa still lingers at home in Tuscaloosa and in the minds of everyone in the program. The image of Deshaun Watson’s pass into the end zone to Hunter Renfrow will haunt this team for a long, long time.
