An you say having Major Applewhite and Muschamp is over stated? Keep believing that.

It's overstated because Alabama's defensive staff will know Texas' tendencies as well. Muschamp essentially uses the same scheme Alabama does. What Texas would gain from Muschamp having worked for Saban is made up in the fact that the very tendencies Muschamp would know, Saban would know too. Applewhite would be more of a threat, but he wasn't here when McElwain came, and while the terminology may be similar, there are many changes McElwain brought when he came from Fresno State. The short and sweet of it is, both teams will know each other very well when the game is played. It will come down to players executing more than what each staff knows about the other.
