Saban doesn’t respond that well to instant change, and that’s why we beat him the first time.


To the tune of 239 total yards

The true part of that statement is freezing those big backers.


“Those big backers” being slow was the myth that cost LSU the national championship. They came out and ran an option play, and back up LB Jarrell Harris forced the pitch from Jefferson AND ran the running back out of bounds for a loss. LSU’s entire team looked completely mind fricked after that happened. They were done.

the 9-6 game convinced Saban he needed to change his philosophy on offense. By the time the NC game came around he had AJ making aggressive first down throws he wouldn't have dreamed of trying against LSU just a few months prior.

He understands you have to constantly reinvent yourself to stay on top, Les never understood that and that's why he's not the LSU coach today.

That's probably the biggest difference between the two bc in his day Les was a very good coach.

jefferson always pitched early. He got popped one time and was scared for the rest of his career with options.
