re: Saban's evolution both with offense and with game mgt (4th downs)

Or with his end of half aggressiveness. It really didn’t matter what the score was or how much time was left, we tried to score. Made a thread already but here is our last drive(s) before the half in each game this year excluding playoffs

1. Missouri: 10 play 75 yards touchdown drive taking 4:22. Left 1:38 on the Clock

2. Texas AM: 8 play, 64 yard touchdown drive taking :59. Left :21 on the Clock

3. Ole Miss: 8 play, 75 yard touchdown drive taking 2:15. Left 1:00 of the Clock

4. Georgia: 5 play, 41 yard field goal drive taking :23. Left :00 on the Clock

5. Tennessee:
a. 8-play 34 yard drive ending in a punt taking 2:03. Left :53 on the Clock
b. 3 play 29 yard drive ending in an incomplete pass. Left :00 on the Clock

6. MSU: 12 play, 88 yard touchdown drive taking 5:35. Left 1:28 on the Clock

7. Kentucky: 6 play 71 yard touchdown drive taking 1:36. Left :46 on the Clock

8. LSU: 6 play 58 yard touchdown drive taking 1:38. Left :45 on the Clock

9. Auburn: 5 play 23 yard drive ending in a punt taking 2:44. Left 1:23 on the Clock

10. Arkansas: 13 play 70 yard touchdown drive taking 4:31. Left :33 on the Clock

11. Florida: 8 play 78 yard touchdown drive taking 1:03. Left :06 on the Clock


9 of 11 halves ending in scores with 8 touchdowns

Average of 58.9 yards gained on these 12 drives


And against Notre Dame and OSU we were aggressive at the end. The Notre dame drive faltered but we got a massive late-half score against OSU
