The NFL has stricter standards for steroid testing.

Alabama's development of talent and coaching exceeds that of NFL coaching. It's a testament to Bama's coaching that they got so much out of such talentless players. It's the opposite of LSU. Players languish in mediocre coaching and subpar development at LSU, which is why guys like Odell explode once they are in the NFL. They can finally shake off the shackles of bad coaching at LSU.
But I though Saban wouldn't have been as successful had he stayed at LSU? I mean, if he is the best at "coaching players up" and LSU has better talent than Bama...

He wouldn't have. LSU is to Nick Saban's career as Texas A&M was to Bear Bryant's.

Former Auburn OL Greg Robinson knows all about that. Drafted #2 overall, couldn't handle playing tackle, so they moved him to guard, and he sucks so bad that he couldn't even start at guard. Sad.

Yeah. Yeah. Marshall and Mason made him look better than he was. Now how many 5*s has Bama took in and turned into nothing? I bet they have alot higher ratio not amount to anything than anyone else.

Your Alabama thread notifications are running late.

The bad news for LSU fans is that Barrett Jones will probably be making his way into the booth soon. He's been doing lots of media, including calling the last two Title games for the "Homer" broadcast.

Because once they leave Bama and get off the juice they are revealed to be average at best.
Do you remember Toni Mandarich from Michigan State? Same thing.

Alabama puts their real stock on defense and will take a top DL over OL all day. It's worked pretty good for them so far amirite?
What Bama does well enough is signing solid enough offensive linemen to hold their own. Add solid RB's behind that and you've still got a running game too.

I see someone doesn't understand how NFL contracts work.

Allowed to hold in college and can't in NFL. Pretty simple. If LSU's line could hold like Bama Fournette wins 3 heismans.

I won't lie , you are right. I think Bama teaches what you can get away with on the holding stuff. It seems to work and always has without being called. If you watch Alabama games closely you will see holds just long enough not to be called as they release. But it's effective on both sides to buy that extra second. It does work.

A substandard Bama HC beat a Saban L6U team 31-0.
In the so-called 'Death Valley.'
Your rebuttal is lacking.
