re: I don't think Alabama will win Saturday

The offensive line didn't look great for a lot of reasons. Virginia Tech was certainly one of them, but play calling was another huge factor. How many draw plays, counters, screens, and play actions did we run? How many times did we audible at the line so that we would not be running at an 8 man front? How many plays did we run that would have caused the defensive line to have to adjust to what we were doing? The answer is not many. A lot of their mistakes were missed blocking assignments which are something that are correctable. The offensive line was asked to man up and beat a very good VT defensive line. They didn't do a great job of that, but they didn't get too much help from the play calling either.

I understand they could have helped out the line more than they did. And I know it's all correctable. I've said a few times here that I think Alabama will be by far and away the best team in te country by the end of the year. But it's gonna take some time to reach that level.
