I remember a recent game where the tv guys said that Bama couldn't get their offense in gear and in fact had -7 yards for the game so far.

However, they looked at the score board and Alabama was leading by 16-3. The defense/special teams had scored those points.

Bama's N.O.T.'s this year have everyone who seriously follows college ball's attention. Add that to a defense who makes their opponents offense one-dimensional and you make it tough to control the ball. If you don't control the ball you leave your own defense on the field- game, set, & match.

Roll Tide Roll

My computer will not run those videos. I don't know why.

Almost fifty years have passed since Vince Lombardi uttered the line that would endear him to Crimson Tide fans. When asked how it felt to be the greatest football team in the world, after winning Superbowl I he replied, “I don’t know, we haven’t played Alabama yet”

Just as well, you'd have to listen to Verne in most of them anyway.

Best defense ever!

Alabama Beats Washington 24-7 In 2016 Peach Bowl & Advance To Championship

[numberonepal]

Short of a miracle at this time, we’re looking at a rematch for the championship. Clemson looks real good tonight. Our offense needs to tighten up to beat them.

Well, OSU could not handle the speed of Clemson, and as always both games were showcases of the big “D”. I don’t think this years meeting between Clemson and the Tide will be a shootout like last year. Neither team will score 30 points, if defenses show up like today. ... I was pleased to see Ubrban-murban get shut out!

[PAR35]

I was surprised at how poorly coached Bama was on offense. The defense was generally great, but the offensive play calling bordered on the irrational.

‘They can’t shut down our runs up the middle. So lets start throwing passes and running to the outside where they have our number.’

[MHGinTN]

The ego running the offense play calling has been promoted to coaching a small college team, so he really isn’t interested in getting offense results at Bama now. Saban needs to take the reigns for the title game.
