Just Crazy to think about!

Our USF defense held College Football Playoff Team Alabama to its lowest point total all year in 13 games. They scored 10 more points on Georgia than they did on us. Bama didn't even take the lead in our game until I believe 3:52 left in the third quarter. Granted Bama's qb mess contributed to this but what exactly did we do that day on D? Did not understand how we could not duplicate that pressure the rest of the year. Thought we would be sending DeDe as a spy on a qb the rest of the year and not drop him into coverage so much.

I don't think the answer is what USF did differently.... It's what Alabama did not do that day.

Dont be amazed by that one game. Saban sandbagged that game to teach his team a lesson playing without their starting QB.

Take our starting QB out and see what our offense looks like for a whole game.

 

What's even crazier is that a undefeated conference champion from a P5 conference doesn't get a shot over a two teams with loses. Just doesn't seem right.

Too bad we couldn't have made that blow up in his face .....

That's what I heard from a UGA friend as well.  He was just trying to teach his team a lesson by almost losing to us.

Just illustrates there has never been a P5.  Just what ESPN wants.

We can say Saban was playing shenanigans with his team, their starting QB was out, blah blah blah, till we're blue in the face. I was most impressed that their OL didn't just simply run us over. That their DL didn't absolutely have a field day with our offensive front. Theoretically Bama has enough talent from being in the top 3 recruiting classes for almost 20 years that they should be able to run back ups out there and still win handily over a 1-11 team with what ended up being one of the nation's worst defenses. It at least showed what was possible, just lacking the overall depth on defense to be able to play like that week in, week out.
