Probably, but to be fair, Bama has 4 and 5 star recruits as backups

Need to cash in. 17-13 is a whole new game.

Huge INT but now they are going backwards.

2 scores to tie. Now two TDs wins rather than ties. Keep scoring and keep them from scoring and you are always in it.

Too damn many tipped passes.

UC just can't execute basic plays, or block guys for more than a second

4 tipped throws now? That first one wouldve been a TD early in the game too

-16 yard drive... Way to make that turnover hurt Bama.

This O Line is just terrible

Sorta sounds familiar   LOL

I was about to say... Is holding not a thing anymore? Been going on all game.

Cincinnati has a well coached solid football team with a few high caliber players... but 70%ish of Alabama's roster will be in the NFL.

Except they need to be able to get deep into Bama territory which they hardly are able to do. When you have a chance like they did there with only 4th and 5 you have to take that risk and go for it. Agree to disagree i guess.

This is lost. The difference in quality shows.

Back-breaker there.

Alright... That is probably it.

I just hope UC can keep it respectable in the 4th Quarter, because a lot of folks are going to say "see, all should come from power 5"

I guess it is hard to overcome the fact that Alabama has 14 five stars and 60 four stars and Cincinnati has 0 five stars and 7 four stars.

Cincinnati could compete with alot of power 5 teams right now but most power 5 teams can't compete with Alabama.

Recruiting is lopsided in college football. 

At least he's smart enough to go for it on 4th down this time.

What a terrible timeout 4th down play.
