We'll get to that when we do a Rose Bowl preview.

But once Bama was able to protect him, this was pretty much...

I mean, they motored down the field.

They absolutely moved down the field almost at will against the Brent Venables defense.

And I think the most damning thing about this is that a Brent Venables defense couldn't hold a 17-point lead.

What are you talking about?

And R. Mason Thomas played.

And they really could not touch him in the last three quarters, for the most part, in the last three quarters.

He's like wide receiver four, dude.

They got Mateer going in the first quarter.

They had some sequencing stuff that was really nice.

They had one where he was a QB power, and then they came back to it on one of the touchdowns and threw a glance behind it where he faked the QB power and he threw the touchdown.

They had some nice things in the early going there with Mateer, but it's just...

They just don't have what difference makers on this offense.

That's really what it came down to when you really needed it when that game gets tight in the second half.

And then, yes, Tate Sandell misses those two field goals.

Groza winner.

Shocker.

One of them was short from like 50.

Oh, yeah.
