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.

I think Saban will drill it into the players that Texas may try to come out with a Utah/Barner kind of tempo so I think we'll be ready for that. Also, Anders and McClain did a pretty good job of covering UF's Hernandez on the underneath routes...and I imagine that he's a better TE than anything Texas has, so we're cool there. The Texas running game - do they have a running game other than McCoy?

I'm confident about this game, but not overly so. It will be a test for sure.
