ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit was on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on Thursday and had high praise for the Alabama offense and Tide offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.
"I think Alabama- what Lane Kiffin has done with their offense- I think it's fascinating. All the Alabama fans and SEC fans when Lane Kiffin got hired (said ) 'Nick Saban had the audacity to bring in Lane Kiffin to Tuscaloosa.' Now, they've never seen an offense like what they've seen so far with an inexperienced quarterback like Blake Sims. I've had head coaches and defensive coordinators I've talked to in the last week say 'this is scary now,' and 'now it's officially scary,' because Nick's always won with defense and being tough and physical on offense with a good running game, but the scheme and the athletic ability they have at running back and receiver is frightening."
Alabama is 4-0 on the season and rolled up over 600 yards of offense against Florida last week. The Tide are currently fifth in the nation in yards per game, averaging 594 yards per contest.

Damn right Kirk.

We really need to hit the brakes on the hype train

What really makes my pants tight has been our efficiency on 3rd down.
On 3rd and 5 under Nuss we ran a 4 yard drag route or slant-stop 80% of the time. That was infuriating.

Well 05 USC averaged 586 yards per game...we're doing pretty damn good. Can't wait to see the future of the offense

Did Colin have a snarky comment when Kirk said that? I'm sure he did.
