Offense wins games, Defense wins championships

After last night, can we officially retire this saying? When a Nick Saban Alabama team wins an NC despite giving up 40 points and 550 yards, I think it's safe to say that the old formula just doesn't always hold, and that the game is different these days.

I think talent wins championships more than anything else. Clemson is a really fricking good team, but it still didn't matter because Bama had an unused 5 star they just chucked out there (Howard) they couldn't account for. Only Bama and to a lesser extent tOSU have that privilege.

don't think the game is a bit different. It's just a stupid cliche.
Bill Walsh, Mike Shanahan, Joe Gibbs - offensive coaches. Spurrier, Bowden, Urban - offensive.
You can't really go back beyond modern times because most coaches were not side specific til the mid 60 to early 70s.
But there have always been offensive coaches winning. You just can't win with a shitty defense. You also can't win with a shitty offense. See 21-0.
