Tiffin Blows It, Arkansas Stuns Alabama
The newspapers and the coaches will be kind to poor University of Alabama Crimson Tide kicker Leigh Tiffin, saying he "struggled" in Saturday's overtime loss to Arkansas.
But the fact is, he blew it. And so did the coaches who left him in the game after he missed three previous field goal attempts and one extra point.
We don't know if he just had the worst day of his life, whether he was seriously hung over - or bet on the Hogs and did it on purpose.
But as a walk on, the coaches might think twice about letting him walk on the field in an Alabama jersey ever again...
This is the first story we could find online:
Tiffin struggles in Alabama overtime loss
The Mobile Press Register on Sunday morning says: Bama blows it, and quotes Tiffin as saying: "I just had a rough game. I guess everybody does at some point."
Any thoughts?

Whew... Why did I suspect that Alabama was destined to not only not win but find new ways to lose the Arkansas game. The Tide outplayed the Hogs in every category except the kicking game and of course that's where the wheels ran off. Do I blame Leigh Tiffin? Nah, he's a nineteen year old true freshman. Do I blame Coach Shula? Nah, he's a coach in training. I think it was just one of those Murphy's Law days where something had to go wrong.
Maybe the team can suck it up and start really playing well. I hope so as I just can't handle them giving games away. Wide right was a way of life for Bobby bowden for a while and he's the winningest coach of all time. Here's hoping the Tide will rally together and become a tighter unit. So....until Coach Shula finds out how to call a toss sweep and rev up the running game, I'll be pulling for them and hoping Murphy will keep his Laws to himself. ROLL TIDE ROLL!
