re: Why does Saban have so much trouble stopping legit, dynamic DT QBs?

You misunderstand. I'm not just talking DB's. You man up across the board and put a hat on the QB and RB on every play with the read option regardless of who takes the handoff. But that was not really the issue last night. Watson was incredibly precise. Watch LSUs games against JFF back in the day. No cutesy plays, just punishment.
