Both of which he mitigated by just copying ‘s approach as much as possible. I gave him credit for this strategy earlier in the thread

Actually Kirby did not copy Saban's approach. Saban is copying Kirby's approach.

When Kirby go his feet on the ground, Saban was transitioning to a pass first offense. Kirby stuck with a run first/defensive approach.

What was Alabama fans telling us Alabama was going to go back to? Run first defensive approach... after Kirby showed it was still an approach schools could win with.
