I think Saban nailed it when he called this
A gimmick offense. All jokes aside
Do you really believe that Saban will tuck his
tail between his legs and live in fear of playing
this type of team or do you think that the loss to
A & M pissed him off to the point of not resting until he has
retribution ?

that's what coaches say when they struggle against it. 2008 Utah, 2008 Florida, 2009 Auburn, 2010 Auburn, 2012 Ole Miss and 2012 A&M

Spread or any system is one thing.. Bama got beat by an all around solid football team that got great play from a great player in JFF.

The spread offense does not work in the SEC UNLESS you have a solid running game and good defense. That's it.

I think it doesn't matter what Saban does, we're gonna lead the SEC in points and total offense as long as Sumlin is here.

Not sure what he is going to do. He better also get ready for an Aggie defense next year with a much improved secondary and greater depth on the D line as well as a kicking game that scores point, not throws points away.

Ags are gearing up but not worrying about Bama. Ags preparing for the totality of the SEC and the defensive side of the ball is what we will really be focusing on before 2013 comes around.

If I was watching the same game you were, we shut them down the 2nd and 3rd qtr and halfway into the 4th before yieldon fumbled etc.

Taking nothing away from A&M and the great game they played.

The SEC will have nine months to watch film and defense Sumlin and JFF.

The spread is not unlike the wishbone or any other system . Coaches in the SEC will scheme it and ultimately, A&M will move from the spread to more power type offense. JMHO.

So ATM should not leverage JF's talents to make Saban happy? If a coach and his team/defense are superior, they should be able to limit the offense.

Since he joined the SEC back in 2000, it seems he's always had problems with certain kinds of offense, provided of course they have the players to execute them.

I'm not a fan of it, but Saban will have to learn to evolve with the times because it's not going away. He has used it at times with some success, himself.

Spread offense is here to stay.. and it's really not gimmicky at all. It's not much difference than the offense the saints or falcons run when you boil it down to core concepts.

i don't think saban has coached against many spread teams. i know lsu played west virginia and oregon lately and that helped them learn how to defense it. the main thing is the qb runs. in a traditional offense the qb is not accounted for but in a spread your defense has to. as far as the multiple wr sets, that has been happening for decades. not all spreads are alike.

That's why he don't like those kind of offenses, his defense cant stop them. Bamas d line is too big to chase a qb like that. I think bama has a new thorn in their side, like aTm.
