re: My thoughts after re-watching the game.

I dont think it's this fully. Saban's base is Rip/Liz Match Cover 3. That base scheme isnt difficult to understand even for the common fan. I think it's more so of things Golding has added, especially pressure wise. It could also be that we dont have the guy in the secondary that can get the call and make sure everyone knows what defense we are actually in.

I’ve said the same thing. It’s not difficult if the guys are actually communicating, but they seem to just be flustered and not even trying.

#8 has been a huge disappointment. He should know the scheme by now, but he continuously takes himself out of plays.

The LB play lands solely on Golding. If he isn’t capable of getting someone like #8, who’s been on the field a couple of years, on the right page… well, it’s poor coaching.
