As opposed to what? Watching a true freshman QB walk a Bama team into the red zone for 4 quarters

To the tune of 16 points.

Which of those teams a few years ago put 4-5 true freshman on the field with the first unit?

As said ad nauseum, they are in our back pocket because the risk of a bust outweighs the reward right now. We have to build some confidence in our inexperienced youth first. You've got to learn to walk before you can run.

As opposed to what? Watching a true freshman QB walk a Bama team into the red zone for 4 quarters. He might as well have been sitting in a Lincoln in that pocket, cause he sure looked comfortable. How do you make a true freshman QB with 5* talent think he's not the second coming of Joe Montana against mighty Bama?

Don't ask our DC, he doesn't have a clue.

Saban made is clear why he wanted to keep things simple (vanilla) for the front-7 vs SC and it's been re-explained to you quite well by others itt. It's a temporary measure that was taken for that game and more stunts, blitzes, etc. will be implemented going forward. But you still don't seem to get that.

It seems to me that our DC and Saban actually do have a clue. Maybe you can't admit you've overracted. Try exercising some patience for the next few games while our new young front-7 players are learning on the job.
