Looking back on Saturday nightās game in the Georgia Dome, I have many regrets on the Tideās opener for the 2013 season. But the biggest one is this: I wish we had beaten the Hokies by 25 points.
The line on the game was 18.5, but if I could have an early birthday present, it wouldāve been Bama covering that line and tacking on an extra 6.5 points for good measure.
I wish our physical defense had made big plays, shown speed and aggression and had totally stymied the Hokie offense. With the lone exception of giving up one big play, I wish we had pretty much kept Tech completely at bay the rest of the game.
And, if I could go way over the line and ask just a little bit more, I wish that, even if you took away the non-offensive points the Tide scored, we still would have won the game even with a struggling offense still finding a way to grind out what it needed to get the job done.
