A rare third-down conversion led to an interesting explanation from Nick Saban on Alabama's offensive strategy in short-yardage situations.
On Saturday night, Alabama head coach Nick Saban explained the state of the sneak in college, and why UA doesn’t run that play more often with the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Milroe:
" ... You’ve got to worry about getting the snap and you’ve got to worry about voice command. But I do think there is a place in short-yardage situations where the quarterback being under center and not handing the ball off five yards deep in the backfield. But you can’t allow penetration like we did either.”
Alabama had three false start penalties amid a wave of cowbells in Davis Wade Stadium, McLaughin also had a handful of low snaps, a season-long issue, and snapped it once while Milroe wasn’t looking, nearly leading to a fumble.
