Last night read an article about the dominant run of Alabama the last 10 years. Emphasis?? Saban has combined a shut down defense with a power running game. No, I think the spread is better. Not.
My thinking on football was formed around Ara Parseghian, the Green Bay Packers, and the Chicago Bears. The formula is, Defense wins championships, special teams set the table, and offense puts you over the top. You can win a championship if special teams or the offense is slightly off balanced (not both), but the defense must be strong to carry home the bacon. The defense must travel strong each game of the journey. Bama wins them because they play championship caliber defense. I will hold my peace on the rest of the story.

Not only Saban and Alabama but the top 5 (according to Athlon) as well.
1. Alabama-Saban...........................RB Derrick Henry
2. Clemson-Swinney........................RB Wayne Gallman
3. Oklahoma-Stoops........................RB Samaje Perine
4. Ohio State-Meyer.........................RB Ezekiel Elliott
5. Florida State-Fisher......................RB Dalvin Cook
And of course, they are all excellent passing teams as well.
Alabama is not doing what they are doing because of scheme -- they are running a business down there and academics is not a consideration . If Kelly wins a national championship given all the bull shit he has to deal with the ND fan base should collectively get on their hands and knees and kiss his ass for he will have pulled off a legitimate miracle

Bama has the best players money can buy ..... period
Is it the scheme or the fact that they have 5/4 star talent across the board
Add in that they don't have to go to class and graduate
Football gets easier
