Since playing Johnny Football, Bama has played Colorado State, Ole Miss, Georgia State, and Kentucky. There is no way you can honestly say that schedule is an accurate gauge for an improved defense.
Also keep in mind that Mariota was Oregon’s first choice over Johnny Football. Mariota is bigger and faster than Johnny, and faster than anyone on Alabama’s team.
Our two WRs are faster than anyone on A&M. It would be an entertaining game.
DUUUUUUUUUCKS
And Oregon’s schedule is this:
Nicholls State
Tennessee
Virginia
Cal
Colorado
Washington
Not exactly awe inspiring.
Ole Miss put up yards and points on everyone they played except Bama.
Manziel is out performing Mariotta THIS year..putting up more offense.
Mariotta’s 40 time is 4.48. Fast, but not legendary fast. Plenty of 4.4 guys on Bama’s team. In fact, Manziel is only SLIGHTLY slower at 4.53 or so.
Mariotta is good, but let’s not get carried away.
Manziel basically plays sandlot football throwing it up to 6 foot 5 WRs. It works, but its really just organized Chaos.
Oregon plays fast, but it isn’t really organized sandlot chaos. Totally different comparison in terms of prep..especially over a month or so.
The thing is, we’ll spend so much time arguing about this and Bama will lose to LSU and Oregon will lose to Stanford or UCLA and it will be jinxed!
I hope it happens to see what the outcome is.
