^ Alabama ran the ball successfully to the tune of 6.6 and 6.9 yards per carry against LSU and Georgia. They only had 25 rushing attempts against LSU which explains the low total yardage. If you double their rushing attempts (and give them Jalston Fowler), LSU is blown out on their home field.

Seems legit. Why didn't Saban think of that?

The OP has no clue what Sumlin has done in the last few years with average QBs.

The reason teams like Alabama can rush the ball so well (other than talent) is because they still make teams respect the pass with play action. It's argument in fallacy to just say that Alabama can lose their QB and become some one dimensional rushing team and think they will be just as successful.

The OP is dead wrong about his assumption that losing McCarron wouldn't hurt as much as losing Manziel. JFF certainly adds another dimension, but both teams are dependent on a capable passer to fully exploit the potential of their respective offenses.

I do not have one single post on this board. I have lurked here for the better part of four years and in that time I have seen some of the most ridiculous shite ever posted. What you just said is, by far, the most elementary analysis of the game of football ever concocted on the internet. You should seriously punch yourself in the nuts right now. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
