    Actually I thought the most Mullen thing would have been to go for it that early and is miss it. He didn't and I was extremely happy. We lose to Bama because we lose the field position game. We didn't last night and that's why we had a chance. We played sound football and didn't take risks to win.

    Basically we didn't have to do anything gimmicky to have a shot. We played that game straight the hell up and went toe to toe with the best team in the country. That's why I'm proud. We did nothing out of the ordinary and should have won

    I was fine with not going for it in the first quarter not so much in the fourth. In the fourth quarter it was becoming obvious our defense was wearing down and Alabama was getting the momentum. THAT fourth down WAS the time to go for broke and try to regain the lead and put the pressure back on Bama. Even if we hadn't made it Bama still had 60 yards to cover. Given the poor punt we only ended up netting an extra 20 yards in field position anyway. No guts no glory. Can't be timid when you are trying to knock out the champ.
