re: SB Nation: Bama never sold out to stop the run.

The only thing that happened was Nick Saban challenged his DL and LB for 2 weeks. Telling them no one thinks they can stop LF. Telling them LSU OL is supposed to be the best in the SEC. Then those DL and LB's came out and every single one of them played to their potential. It's really not too hard to understand. Nick has recruited the best front 7 for 4 or 5 years in a row and now he can play any of them without any change in performance. The only problem Bama has had was getting all those guys motivated at the same time. Unfortunately we have the exact type of offense Nick Saban has built his defense to beat. No team is going to line up and run at those guys and be successful. The only chance it to spread them out, try to keep them guessing, and get a lot of turnovers, or what Ole Miss did.
