re: Jalen Hurts will have to beat us through the air

Bama obviously has the better overall players of any team if the recruiting rankings are to be believed and I do think the recruiting rankings are pretty accurate. And Saban has proven himself to be the best coach in this era if national championships are a measure and they certainly are.

But I do think Bama has huge untapped offensive potential due to Saban's conservative offensive strategy: emphasis on execution and don't beat yourself with mistakes. And I think this conservative philosophy can make them vulnerable at times against opponents with prolific offenses and solid defenses.

Bama has played only 2 decent teams so far: FSU, who lost again tonight to Louisville and A&M. It will be interesting to see how the Tide looks against LSU and Auburn. LSU's young talent appear to be getting it together and Auburn's defense is good enough to limit Bama's offense.

Regardless, I hope for a rematch with Alabama in the SECCG.
