re: Offenses evolved to score more points. Defenses haven't evolved to stop them.

Someone mentioned a couple of weeks ago, a good way to neutralize an up tempo offense is to try and premeditate where a play is going before the ball is snapped. Most up tempo teams only run a handful of plays for most of the game, so the odds of doing this successfully aren't that bad. Jumping routes, play man, don't play zone and give any cushion. Could bite you in the arse, but it's better than playing soft and getting burned anyway.

High risk, high reward. I think Saban is a great defensive mind but this isn't normally his style is it? He usually plays it safe unless he knows for a fact that something would work.
