This is true but Bama hasn't played an offense this good during the season. Nebraska never played a defense that good either. Bama would just need so much practice against that offensive style. They struggled figuring it out against a bad team a couple years back.


i understand all of that.

Nebraska isn't just going to be able to push bama around and have their way with the TO like they did everyone else. It's impossible. Nebraska would have never faced a team that powerful, to assume they would experience the same success is kind of silly IMO. Not to say you believe that.

Bama could easily lose to Nebraska. they lost to Ole Miss twice in a row. If we are all being honest, then Nebraska isn't going to take their 95 roster and go HAM on the league in 2016. its not just bama that would stop them.

On the flip side even though Nebraska had a good defense they didn't see the HUNH and read option looks that you see now. It took Saban a couple years to adapt so it's very possible that Nebraska defense would have issues there.

It's the styles that make it a very hard to really compare. I will say that Alabama has the defensive talent to beat anyone that has ever played college ball. Regardless if Nebraska gets time of possession on their side, then they'll stomp anyone.

In my opinion Nebraska isn't a more talented team but they're a more dominant and better college team. That being said, I believe they're the best team of all time so obviously I'm going to think that. I really loved watching that team regardless of hypothetical matchups, etc.
