re: Saban: I had a bad feeling after seeing the low energy of the team before LSU game

Dude you have no energy for a game that will (98%) define your division, big impact in the playoffs, College Gameday....even POTUS is there.... and "It makes sense" Bama came out flat?

I don't think we were "flat" as in "meh whatever", I think we were unsure of ourselves on defense because of lack of experience and attempts to install a normal, complex gameplan like we've always done - and that led to thinking and then reacting, which is a deathnail.

It's not the first time it has happened this year, which is why it's pretty frustrating that we just kept trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Probably wouldn't have been a whole lot better with a more vanilla scheme, but at least guys would have been playing at full speed.
