With that said, it is remarkable how poorly of a job TT is doing shooting his argument down, not even realizing he is providing the wrong stats. When this is pointed out to him he gives some illogical response and runs away.

are those stats so wrong they don't even shed some light on the BS. I mean Bama fans have been trying to tell us that our D gets so winded and tired because the offense doesn't wear down the clock and give them a rest. so wouldn't the stats provided support that?

First of all at least on this thread I don't see so many Bama fans who have totally bought in to what Saban has said. I would say that it appears like a plausible thing that more injuries would occur when there are 20 or so more plays run, but I have no idea if the stats play that out or not. And even if they did, I wouldn't use it as an excuse to eliminate the HUNH. And even if all that was true, we still know Saban's real concern on this issue isn't player safety. So again, I don't even know why we have this argument every day because I see that most, even Alabama fans, seem to see this issue for what it is.

But with all that said, to answer your question NYC, no, I do not think TT's stats really provide any real understanding of this issue. It is too small a sample size and it isn't even the right sample. I guess they do address the more plays per game, but they do not focus on the subset that I think Saban has always focused on: the injuries to the defenders on the slow paced teams when they face fast paced teams. That is what we would need if we really wanted to talk about this.
