re: Anyone who watched on TV or analyzed : deal with running game?

This is what Saban was talking about. Before we wanted more explosive plays in the passing game and now when we get it we all want to go back to the power running game. Tua runs an RPO offense. In this offense it's tougher on the O line. They still can improve but that is part of the reason. Also, Tua sees the slant when an extra defender crowds the box and he will let it rip. Back in the day(as Saban said above) we would call a run and it was a run no matter what.
