Former Alabama running back Josh Jacobs has an explanation for what went wrong for the Crimson Tide earlier this month in the College Football Playoff Championship.
Alabama lost to Clemson 44-16 in what was the worst loss of coach Nick Saban's Alabama career.
In an appearance on PFT Live with Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, Jacobs said he could feel prior to the start of the contest that it was going to be a "rough one" and mental fatigue on Alabama's end played a major role in the outcome.
"Honestly, I know it might sound cliche or anything like that but, before the game, the feel, you could feel it was gonna be a rough one," Jacobs said about the energy in the locker room.
