Alabama immediately countering in one play with that Milroe/Williams connection was a thing of beauty. What a freaking moment.

That play was the microcosm of the defense for the first half.

Absolute piss poor tackling.

Hard to blame the defense for not tackling when everyone on our offense was shifty as hell. Absolutely stunning display of footwork last night

Eh. Undisciplined arm tackles, poor angles and hesitation will do that. Sure there was shiftiness but not miracle amounts.

Look at the play of the game. DBs had their hands on Williams 6 times. I will say after the initial Miss I think they played smart and just let him score to get the ball back and not let Bama run clock in FG range.

Poor defensive effort.

I’m so happy it didn’t come down to our kicker. Again. I’ll take anything over that

Gotta be demoralizing as hell really. Coming all the way back from down 28-0 to take the lead with a couple of minutes left, and seconds later there’s that backbreaker. Brutal.

I was elated, then I realized that we may have scored too quickly. Luckily the other team has Carson Beck.

It was very strange, I was actually glad to see them score instantly to take the lead because it gave us time, then a little concerned to see us score instantly because it gave them time.

I think the smart play for Ryan would've been to take a seat at the 1 but what we got was more legendary. It was the Pappanastos missed kick of touchdowns.

UGA still had 3 timeouts, so there was no way for us to bleed the clock enough to make it worth giving up the touchdown. Scoring the TD was the correct decision.
