Saban defended the fake FG saying...


Jan 8, 2019, 1:48 PM

it was a good call but one player missed their block?

I was drunk and could tell before the snap that Clemson defenders were lined up looking for a fake.

a number of his comments before, during, and after the

game left me thinking he's not really in touch with the game anymore.

You know, if they committed to running the ball


Jan 8, 2019, 1:51 PM

it would have been a close game.

It was an odd game plan to say the least


Jan 8, 2019, 1:54 PM

They were easily reeling off 7-8 yards a carry between the 20s. Once they got in the redzone it like Rob Spence was calling the plays.

And we had Kevin Steele as our DC, lol.

Granted, Kevin Steele couldn't have ultimately stopped them like Venables' group did.

they ran the ball well between the 10s's basically. After they got into the red zone, the safeties don't have to play so deep and the run support gets tighter and tighter until they get inside the five, at which point the run and pass are much harder to accomplish against our defense. I think them moving the ball with the run was just something we knew they were going to do as long as we were taking away the deep shot, and we were confident that we could keep them out of the end zone.

There was one player that didn't seem to think he


Jan 8, 2019, 1:55 PM

should be blocking, like he missed the playcall or something. But I don't think they necessarily get the first down anyway.

My assessment is Alabama was looking past Clemson


Jan 8, 2019, 1:58 PM

To what....IDK other than hoisting the trophy. The did make mental mistakes and Clemson capitalized on them. But that wasn't the whole story. Our defense held strong in the redzone

They thought they'd come out and destroy Clemson. So they played lazy and it showed on that play

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I don't think so...


Jan 8, 2019, 2:05 PM

I think we had a game plan for them and when it worked and we got up a couple of scores, Saban couldn't figure it out because it had been that long since he was down a couple of scores.

Probably not many situations before last night...


Jan 8, 2019, 2:38 PM [ in reply to I don't think so... ]

Where they really had to throw the ball, and it exposed some weakness. They played from way ahead all year because they jumped out to big leads.

Jan 8, 2019, 2:09 PM

It is partially true. Watch it again. They had 3 guys blocking 1 guy. The blocks were missed. I still don't think it would have worked anyway. Weren't they about 3rd and 6?
