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?
