A friend of mine played for ulm and said that putting guys in motion and unbalanced lines helped them win the game in '07. Don't know if it would work for all teams but it worked for them.

Good plan. The only problem I see with it is this isn't the 2007 Bama team.

Just a minor detail, though.

Don't let your QB get hurt in the 2nd half , get a couple of first downs in Q 4 with 10 minutes to go and run down the clock, don't get a roughing the punter penalty, and avoid getting completely fricked by cheating SEC officials. That seems like the right formula.

The problem is, this isn't the 2007 Alabama team. Regardless, Alabama had over twice the amount of yardage against ULM in that game, but an eight of the heart. That was a team that had completely quit, and many of the seniors on that team said as much after their careers were over. If ULM's "formula" was so successful in the long run, I guess Charlie Weatherby would still have a job, and Alabama wouldn't have gone 26-3 since the ULM game in 2007.

The games I saw Saban loose was when the opponent kept him off balance and played a fast tempo game. These teams threw the ball over the top hit under neath routes and when least expected ran the ball up the middle. The most important is the middle with screens TE releases, you have to play error free football while controling field position.

It also help if you have a bunch of shitheads that care nothing about the program or university but instead are worried about themselves and what you can do for them.
