No, the reason they lost was struggles on offense. Mike Johnson, the right tackle shifted to left tackle and was knocked out of the game in the first ten minutes due to injury. Alabama's offensive line was down to their third and fourth stringe tackles and it showed. They had no running game and were sacked nine times. Their defense kept them in the game the last three quarters. Their offense wasn't able to come back. No Andre Smith had a huge impact on the game's outcome. JPW was harassed all night, sacked eight or nine times and they had no running game. I understand their offense struggled, but their vaunted SEC defense got torched in the 1st quarter.
