I think the lost is by only one play, no more. If the call had been different (yeah, the call is terrible), 'Bama had won the game easily and this thread wouldn't exist, it's that simple. But we can not blame Major Applewhite or Saban's hirings, and I don't think Saban is unhappy with his job, simply (as someone has said before) we don't have the players we would have to have now, and the LSU day, in spite of our amazing job, was showed. The difference (in talent) between both teams was huge.
I think we need to develop and to go on with the work in our offensive line, we need to win the battle in the trenches. Our puss-rush really sucks, we haven't developed yet any disruptive force, we need skill players in the skill positions, we need more playmaker, etc.
I think the product hasn't taken off yet, it's early, but we need continue working in this process. And the future is bright, not doubt guys... Only think how the nation respects The Tide now.
