I find it funny how much shite they have given us about the O we run, bending the rules on O, Mickey Mouse O, etc, then they convert to a spread, recruit a QB that can't pass, and have to lean on gimmick flea flicker passes to move the ball. The worm has turned.

Don't forget, it took a trick play to beat Clemson the year before.

Yup. Feel free to take this to tRant. I don't feel like hearing their excuses.

They use way more tempo than us too. They go fast often and Saban was a huge hater on hurry up offenses a few years go.


Atleast Saban is willing to change and adapt in order to win. Can't say the same for Malzahn.

I am not being critical of Saban. This is about the critics of AU. Mainly LSU and Bama fans, both of which have converted to our style.

Everyone seems desperate to find that dual threat awesome passing QB with shut it down defense.

Looks good on paper, but hard to do.

Speaking of gimmicks/trick plays, have we ever faced a team that ran more in one game that Bob Stoops did?


Problem is, most of them worked.

Bama is running a textbook hurry up O with a punishing run game now. Sound familiar?

I wish we had a coach that could adapt to changing times like Saban but ours has been too busy regressing to a super slow QB roulette wheel with a N64 Blitz receiver route tree to throw to. It's nauseating.

After Bo Scarbrough went down with an injury at the 2:19 mark in the 3rd quarter, Alabama ran four designed rushes. Four. #NoBoNoGo
