the bigger problem was losing johnson after the 2nd drive. saban said himself after the game that bama finally had to deal with something that every team in the nation already had to deal with. a big injury to a starter.
i can't help but think back to the times daily poll about how much of an impact losing smith would have...56.2% said little to no impact and now the day after there is thread calling for him to be tarred and feathered and multiple ones blaming him for the ENTIRE loss. wow.
Football is a 11 man team sport, that is why the other 10 are there. If i was a member of a team where everyone was saying that we lost because of 1 person then i would be really upset, Alabama did not prepare for the speed of utah, that is why they lost, hate to see any team of the sec to lose a bowl game, but to read the post from some of the alabama fans, on other topics, dont get me wrong, i have done the same, but only due to the fact that someone is down grading my team, then i get offensive, and defend them, but am a true football fan, not one that read's and lives on everyword that a local newspaper writes! utah beat alabama hands down, not because of one player, alabama was beat after the 1st quater. only because they was not prepared for the speed of utah, and was knocked on their heels, and was not used to that! so keep thinking that they lost because of big man, and there will be more disappointment during sabans career, because even though he is a great coach, he cant reach prefection, and will disappoint many bama fans.
