re: Alabama vs. Florida - Question for Bama Fans

Their OL pretty much dominated our DL combined, with poor tackling.

They held their ground but their running success wasn't because they were blowing us off the ball, it was because our LBs were making the wrong reads and Safeties were late/missing tackles.

They had minimal success on regular run plays (like 3 YPA). They had tons of success on the read option (like 8 YPA), and almost all of those were due to LB/S slow reads, misreads or running themselves out of the play. Mullen found something that was working and kept doing it until we figured it out - we never did.
