Another big factor:

[Woof Man Jack]

Something that doesnt show up on the stat sheet but absolutely killed us in the first half....field position. We were constantly starting inside our 20, sometimes 10 yard line...Bama had half a field to go...that's a huge difference.

 

[121Josey]

Punting.

Bell was terrible

 

[jakldawg]

Huge difference. Seemed like all of their drives in the first half started around the damn logo.
That entire first half was abysmal.

 

[bulldognation]

I think I pointed this out earlier. We had better stats only because we had further to go. They had short field, and thus scoreboard.

I think it's safe to say base that Bell chokes in any big play/big game.. Not good for a special teamer
