You haven't faced a team with a pass rush.
It was close for 3.5 quarters and frankly Brown not hitting two wide open WRs in the first half basically kept Bama in the game. I don't like to play what-if games, but the 17 points we left on the field from those two missed throws and a missed FG would have had us up 2 TDs going into the fourth quarter and able to pin our ears back and rush Milroe all quarter long while running the ball on offense (which we had no problem doing).
Instead, Bama got the defense to gas out and we just ran out of steam which lead to 3 unanswered TDs in the last 6.5 minutes of the game.
Your OL is good to be sure but we're in good health and Ward has a history of getting sacked. Don't assume you're going to steamroll us when we were beating Bama OL off the edge in Tuscaloosa.
