re: Saban: Good defense doesn't beat good offense anymore, UGA has an elite D and we scored 41

He’s dead on the money. It’s pretty impressive that as a defensive minded coach, he’s been able to understand the changes to rules and schemes and adjust his offensive philosophy to remain competitive with the best in the country.
It’s also frustrating and strange to watch formerly elite defensive teams like Bama and LSU win at a high level with top notch offenses and swiss cheese defenses.

LSU wasn't a "swiss cheese" defense especially at the end of the year.
Lets not forget Bama was gifted one TD on a PI on 3rd and long and awarded a 1st down on another PI that immediately led to a TD.
Monken should have kept the ball on the ground in the 3rd qtr instead of putting the game in Bennett's hands.

Yeah, I recall a few years back when Saban spoke out about rules such as offensive linemen blocking downfield et al and made the comment "It's really about the kind of football we want to see"
He got a lot of criticism for "sour grapes" at the time but, I, for one, enjoy football a bit more when offenses don't have the advantages they do now.
