[See what other fans are saying on The Insiders Forum!]
— Great college football game. Congrats to Alabama. They made more plays in the end.
— No one was surprised by their performance. Competed their butts off. Came up a little bit short. Really proud.
— Can’t go on the road and have as many fumbles as they had.
— People can talk how they want to talk about South Carolina. It’s amazing how the perception of the team changes. They had a bad game last week. They expected to win this game today because they have a good football team. Life in this conference is really hard. They compete their asses off. Came up a little bit short. Got a bunch of fighters in that room. He hurts for them because they are sick of this feeling.
— They had a decent idea what Alabama was going to be in on defensive coverage for the two-point conversion. Didn’t block the play great, just gave up a little bit of pressure there.

— LaNorris Sellers is a warrior. He continues to get better each week. He did enough for them to win the football game. He’ll continue to get better.

What's next for Lane Kiffin
— The defense did a great job. Was a little disappointed in the first drive touchdown. Gave too much cushion there. One of the keys was to affect Milroe and that’s what they did. They did enough for the team to win.
— On the road in the SEC, they use a term that they are fireproof and can withstand it. Needed to have great poise in one of the greatest environments in college football. Needed to push through. The guys just kept hanging in there.
— At the end of the day, you’re judged by the final score. When you come on the road in the SEC, you can’t turn the ball over.
— It was good to have the receivers step up and make big plays. They knew they’d have some opportunities against this Alabama defense. There will be a lot to clean up. But those guys did a good job. Can’t be ground and pound to win. Need to throw the ball like they did today.
