You Alabama people are so smug...

Georgia is coming to play football.

They pulled another one out of their ass! Had the INT not been juggled in the end zone, Bama would have LOST! Not to mention the non call on the face mask against Bama, that would have kept the UGA drive alive!

Was surprised they got away from Michel. He was the hot hand... Chubb wasn’t getting it done 

The loss was very similar to how GA beat OU.  Alabama made the better halftime adjustments.  When it came to sphincter puckering time, GA went away from what they were successful with and appeared to be playing not to lose.  I can see running that wildcat once but three times?   They took the ball out of Fromms hands just when they needed to open it back up a bit.

Only adjustment needed for Bama was inserting tua to quarterback. 

Agree, wildcat tells Bama it’s a run. With fromm back there at least have to respect the possible pass.

Helps when the officials refused to call Bama for offensive holding essentially entire game. There were some blatant and obvious ones right in front of the QB where the defenders were turned and the lineman behind them holding on for dear life. But no calls. My wife doesn't even like football and roots for no team but could see it.

And it also helps when Bama gets away with at least 2 blatant facemasks on the ball carrier that would have extended drives for Georgia (making the comeback far less likely).

Let's not forget the blocked punt that was nullified by a blown offsides call. Sure, it was also a false start -- which they also missed -- but they can't review penalties so if they didn't mistakenly call offsides it still would have ended up as a block.

I watched with a group of friends and we all pretty much called it a Bama win once they made the QB switch at half. Who puts in a frosh QB that pretty much hasn't played all season in a National title game? A desperate Nick Saban does.

If Tua Tagovailoa is really all that freaking good, then Saban and staff are idiots for not playing him all season. So I don't even want to hear how much a genius Nick Saban is for his desperate QB switch (from the media). He got lucky and bailed out.

Fact is, Bama got A LOT of help from non-calls tonight. And before someone points out all the calls that went against Bama, they better consider that they got the far better end of the deal. The offsides on the blocked punt and no calls on the facemasks and offensive holding were HUGE. They allowed Bama to hang around in that game.

All that said, Georgia deserves the choker tag because there's no way you can allow that game-winning TD pass in that situation. 2nd and 26 from the 41 (after the huge sack) and you allow a receiver to get behind you? Absolutely brainless defense. Also, they had the game in their hands on the 4th and 3 late in regulation. But they got little to no pressure the 2nd half (some of that due to lack of obvious holding penalties) and couldn't tackle a sole on the rare occasions that they did.

That was an atrocious exhibition of tackling the 2nd half. Poor officiating aside, Georgia deserved to lose that game due to their tackling and defensive scheme on that last play.

Props to Bama for holding the trophy, I guess. They got scoreboard, no denying that. But I certainly didn't come away from that game believing they were a better team than Georgia. But who cares. Their name is on the trophy now and nobody will remember how it happened 5 years from now.

They are the better team. They played like crap in beginning of game, and you knew when the fg kicker shanked that gimme to start the game , that Bama was not going to roll in this one. The big concern going into game was the play of Hurt at qb.  Against almost all teams in country, it wouldn't matter if he was Qb for Bama or not.  Bama is just that more dominant and can win without a true qb. Ga has probably the best run defense in country next to Bama. This game,  it would matter at the qb position for Bama. If Bama had got a good start, did not allow that big 3rd conversion of 30 yd run, made fg, and didn't commit the roughing passer on 3rd down near goal, they would have been near or even at the half . Bama's Defense was on the field the whole first half, wearing  them down a bit, props to Ga. But credit to Bama to out score them 26 - 10 in 2nd half. The way they played in first half, they  did need the freshman qb  brought in, in order to win the game, as you stated. For Bama to pull that out, not playing their A game, against a fired up GA, who played their best game, says a lot as to how dominant of a program Bama is. They have so much talent, that even their 4th sting rb, Najee Harris, is probably their best back. They lose their best O- lineman in Williams, and they don't miss a beat. You, like most people, don't like Bama. I get it. Even on a down year like this, though,  they are still national champs. Pretty impressive.

Smitty’s interview last year at the Army All American Bowl: (January 2017) 

Reporter: “A lot of schools are recruiting you. Did anyone try to get in your ear a little bit?”

Devonta Smith: “Yeah, Tua.... he was just saying we could do big things at Bama and that’s the place to be.” 

Tonight the two 18 year old true freshmen hooked up for the GAME WINNING 41 yard touchdown pass in overtime.
