One of my great ambitions in life is to do something so intensely badass that I am fully justified in running off in some random direction to celebrate. Not enough people celebrate by fleeing.
This play didn't get nearly enough attention during the actual broadcast. Keith Ford was the only person on the field who matched Alabama's level of irrational anger the whole game.
As an offensive lineman, the only thing worse than getting beaten by your man is trying to block him and getting completely ignored by him. Colton Prater on this play looks like a drunk guy hitting on someone way out of his league. He's about to buy a couple of drinks and get a polite smile/wave in return.
Not saying Erik McCoy's snaps tend to float, but when Christian Kirk caught the ball it had 45 Cuban refugees on it.
Claude George and Donno Wilson couldn't have coordinated this any better if they tried. George covers Damien Harris's eyes until Wilson flies in with the head-breaker. The 3 Stooges couldn't have executed that move so brilliantly, he never saw it coming.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Alex Sezer as a human being or as a football player. All I'm going to point out is that this was Saban/Kiffin's first opportunity to go after him and they did, to great effect. Render unto Sezer what is Sezer's, and that apparently is getting torched for a 50-yard gain.
