Also, Alabama is throwing the ball a lot more this year. Alabama was running play action last night and they weren't even trying to run the ball to set it up. Very strange. CSU and Va Tech games have both had very weird play calling.



The weirdest thing about it was the 3rd down plays. The WR's just couldn't seem to find the 1st down markers. Getting into 3rd and longs didn't really help that though

I'll be glad when Cooper is back out there at 100%. OJ Howard is becoming more integral week to week as well. Did Norwood play last night? I didn't see AJ throw to him once. Anthony Steen was out too. Saban obviously wasn't too concerned because he still put the backups in towards the end. But Like I said, it was a very strange game offensively.

Who knows, really. Bad performance in run blocking, and AJ and the receivers were really off. Dinking and dunking for 2 yards a play isn't going to help open up the running game.

We'll find out Saturday. I think they'll have a tough time.
