My issue was that you blamed the whole loss on Saban's preparation and game day coaching, when the reality is that certain areas of our team...OL and aspects of the kicking game...just are not good at all. When you start out with OL players who just aren't very good, you're not going to win no matter how well prepared they are. You can't game prepare and game day coach Womack and Cotton into Warmack, Jones, and Fluker.

Now if you want to blame Saban for poor HS OL evaluation and/or poor hiring of an OL coach, I'm all in with you on that.

I'd agree with you if we didn't ram it down their throats at will to start the 2nd half. We went away from it and it killed us.

As a Saints fan I saw this on Sunday. Mark Ingram was averaging 9 yards a carry and Payton refused to give him the ball.

We don't have Drew Brees at QB (nobody does) to overcome it, but in overtime the Saints went back to the ground game and won.

That's coaching errors. We have a offensive line group of road graders yet we expect them to pass block 60% of the time.
