Yes, the point difference could be accounted for by the poor PAT conversion, but I think the real difference came down to the Tide going to sleep for about 20 minutes after they scored their third TD. It was nice to see them mount a rally at the very end and there were some nice personal performances as you have reported. We just need to see them play four solid quarters of football and they will come out on top.

We have to have at least one student (male or female) who can kick a football. PAT's have been a problem for years.
