Alabama running back Mark Ingram had not fumbled the ball in 322 carries. That by any ones standard is a remarkable accomplishment. Until Saturday in the Tennessee Alabama game. The ball was knocked out of his arms just mere inches before his knee touched the ground, and then he landed on the ball causing it to squirt out from underneath him. The call was close, and the call had to be  confirmed from the replay official up in the booth, and it was confirmed, Tennessee ball. This fumble may have not been a big deal, say in the opening minutes of the ball game, or if  you were ahead by four touchdowns. But Alabama was clinging to a 12-3 lead, and Tennessee had the ball in Alabama territory with just a few minutes left in the game. Tennessee drives down the field, with little trouble against the top ranked defense in the country, and scores the games only touch down, to pull within two, 12-10. Tennessee get's one more chance after recovering the onside kick. They drove down the field, again, with little resistance from the top ranked defense in the country, to within field goal range. This fumble did not hurt Alabama this time, because great defense came through when it had to, and Alabama blocked the game winner. The moral of this story is, you can be a great fundamentally sound football team, and fumble at the worse most possible time. Then the intangible fundamental works out for you, LUCK.
