re: Herbstreit on HUNH: "Look for more fake injuries"

Saban will likely counteract it like he and Bob Stoops developed to stop Tebow. In 2008 we tried to relentlessly play chess against the UF offense in the SEC championship game. If there tendency was to do something in a particular situation Saban played a D to stop that tendency. It worked for the most part but they still made plays by breaking tendencies and won the game. The next year instead of subbing a new personnel package that was PERFECT for stopping what we thought Florida would run we went with generally one Defensive package. This package was a Dime but the sixth DB was Barron and played the whole game like a LB. We didn't get caught up in the chess match and just went and played.

If I had to guess that is what Saban will do, focus less on having to run off and on a new package because it perfectly matches what ATM will likely do in a situation. Instead find a single personnel grouping that is good enough, play cloud over the back of it and instead of trying to strategize the game out just let the D go out and make plays.

If the No Huddle turns football from Chess to speed checkers then do the same on D.
