re: Great win for program momentum

5 star Linebackers in a see ball, tackle ball defense are fine, but in a Saban defense you have to process information at a fast pace.


Alabama produces more players per capita and definitely more Linebackers so its weird that we are playing 3 linebackers from Baton Rouge.


3 star Linebackers like Monty Rice from Madison, AL where education is just different than Baton Rouge looks a lot better in a similar defense.

McClain, Nico Johnson, CJ Moseley, Reuben Foster, Reggie Ragland, Rashaan Evans, Shaun Dion Hamilton etc. Pretty much every inside linebacker except Hightower that has been successful have been from Alabama.

We all know Saban has this irrational obsession with players from Louisiana. We all saw him play Denzel Duvall over Ryan Anderson for 3 years. Duvall while an ok player never made a difference like Ryan Anderson did.


There is a reason that QBs don't come from Florida at the same clip they do from Texas or California. Thats a cerebral position and those states do education better.

Certain regions produce certain positions better. Thats not slight to Louisiana they have lots of WRs,CBS and Rbs. For a thinking position I'd rather have a kid from somewhere else.
