Truest words today! I knew they’d pivot and make it about themselves instead of giving it up and eating crow. All I heard was “SEC speed” and “our athletes” and “the B10 is trash, Michigan would lose 5 games with Bamas schedule”. But here we are, we dominated them physically all day in the manner I’m sure their fan base thought they’d dominate us. It time we say it; Alabama would’ve finished 3rd in the B10 East and they hadn’t seen athletes on defense like these.
