There were multiple reasons as to why we lost the game. Emory not being overly successful throwing the ball, throwing a pick that led to 7 points, the failed 2 point conversion, the BS calls against us in Bama's favor, or the missed extra point. In my mind, the single biggest reason we lost was because we started the game 21-3. It's difficult to dig yourself out of that hole against any team, much less Alabama. To successfully climb out of that hole we were going to have to be absolutely perfect on both side of the ball, which we're not capable of doing. We have to act faster on offense and defense against these teams to have a chance. The big positive was our OL opening up holes for Pierce and Davis. Against a team like Alabama, that was really impressive.
There is no excuse to have a record worse than 11-1 or 10-2 this year with our remaining games. Georgia has a great defense, but they look average at best to me on offense.
