Where did anyone say that? Players aren't the only ones responsible for their performance. Alabama were clearly better prepared last night and their coaching staff had made far better use of the long layoff. Plus, a bad start against superior opposition in the biggest game of your life when you're ~20 years old and things get bad fast.
The defense could have done themselves more justice, but all we're talking about is keeping it tighter for longer.
