re: DeArmond: Kiffin thinks Bama's skill positions are better than 05 USC

still cant figure out why last year when we needed a third down Howard was not the first option. the guy is a complete mismatch against both Lbs and 99% of corners. Hes bigger, faster, stronger, and can leap higher than any of them

When he outran LSU's entire secondary last year, I was thinking, why don't we do that more? A LOT more.

Nuss was a horrible gameday coach. His playcalling was annoying.

Horrible? Come on now. And before we anoint CLK remember we didn't target OJ a single time on A-day

Yes. Horrible. He just relied on talent.

A-Day. Don't tell me you think Saban is gonna send them out on A-Day running the offense like it's the season. It's well known that A-Day is EXTREMELY vanilla.

Kiffin may turn out to not be what he was at USC as an OC or in 2011, but Nuss was a shite playcaller. He was a solid QB coach, but his playcalling was annoying. We've been over it for months, so I'll just leave it at that to avoid an argument.

Agree to disagree. Also I'm sure this is exactly what USC fans are saying about Kiffin

Agree to disagree indeed, but they're saying that about the Kiffin that was trying to focus on everything and running the program.

Throwing a pass to the TE isn't exactly digging deep into the playbook. In fact, we targeted Vogler a couple times.

FTR I think OJ should be targeted about 5 times a game too. Have to wait and see if that's what happens.

---

You're right, but one guy not getting targeted in the A-Day game isn't a negative. Also have to consider that Howard had Sims at QB the whole game. Would have liked to see Bateman throwing to him.

Yeah, Nuss was terrible. Might be one of the worst playcallers I've ever seen.
