This.

I like Al, and I think he did a damn fine job for us the first couple of years - but I still think the hit he took on the sideline during the '05 Iron Bowl must've done something to his playcalling ability. Our offense was never the same after that play.

One of these days I'm going to add up our stats under Borges through the 1st quarter of that game, and then our stats through the end of the '07 IB. I'm pretty sure there's a dramatic dropoff.
