re: Bama is "Stanford on Blue Whale steroids"

Bill King said that on the radio this morning. I almost wrecked but basically he's right. Stanford is a very good team that plays our style of football. Stanford almost beat ND getting a TD no call that might have won the game. But they don't have our passing game and their OL is not even in the same category as ours. Stanford's OL is made up of 4 3*'s and a 2* center. I know, I know, star ranking is not everything. But on average its a pretty good indicator unless you think they are better at developing players than CNS. I don't. They only have 1 4* on the DL. So, Bill King was right. We play the same schemes as Stanford but we have a whole lot better athletes. And they had to beat them in OT with a quick whistle stopping a obvious goal line TD.
