Saban said he overruled Kiffin on fourth-and-inches play call. Kiffin wanted to give to RB, Saban wanted QB sneak.

Saban, please, stop trying to call offensive plays.

How are we not covering how to do a qb sneak during practice?

Pretty sure he didn't envision Sims trying to crow hop over the pile.

And somewhere out there, underneath Katherine, A.J. cracks a smile.

I want this team to just run the damn ball. I want the '08-'09 offense. The fact that the coaching staff had to debate a fourth and inches play against an Arkansas team that should have been out of the game in the first quarter is enough evidence to me that this experiment is not working out.

Terrible call either way. QB sneaking when your O-Line has been getting blown back isn't smart at all.

I want the offense from the first four games of this year more than anything.

Have you actually seen any of Arkansas's other games? They aren't bad at all...

They remind me of Bama's 2007 team. We lost 6 games that year, but none by more than a TD. Arky is on the verge of being a pretty good team.

I think the sneak was a good call. I think Sims executed it terribly.

I am a little shocked we have a quarterback who can't execute a sneak. Unbelievable.

Well, a QB sneak is a fine play, assuming you run it properly, which Sims did not.

Yeah, that would be nice, but our OL isn't nearly as good as what we've become accustomed to. And neither Yeldon nor Henry are as good as Lacy, Richardson, Ingram, and probably not even Coffee.

That would be nice also, but those were four pretty weak teams defensively.

Saban is only a decent game day coach. Too stressed out to make tough calls. Not that I could do any better but you know what I'm saying.
