It is a gamble. Saban is betting that your qb can't make enough perfect throws to beat his db's. So every time Bama runs across a good qb, people come away saying the secondary is suspect. Then they are surprised when Bama db's get drafted every year.
I'll never understand why other coaches don't do this too. Saban knows that def secondary play is very hard to get perfect at the college level. So he doesn't have his CB's and Safeties play "perfect", just technically very sound.

Thanks for that. That is exactly what I should've said in my description. As to why other coaches don't do it. You have to have the athletes to do it. Traditionally LSU, Auburn, and UF have the athletes to pull it off. UGA does now after their recent recruiting classes. But not too many do.
