In regards to the AL game Saturday night, you have to remember that the field shrinks significantly inside the red zone.
In the end Alabama's superior athletes won out, and made the plays to keep Ole Miss out of the end zone. In hindsight Lane should have kicked the field goal early in the game, but he didn't think field goals were going to beat Bryce Young.
Lane was one play away from beating an Alabama team that is beatable, yet one that also has superior athletes to Ole Miss at nearly every position. If you ask me it's a testament to how good of a coach he is just to be in that position.
