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.

Yes they have great talent on defense and are well coached. They had a kid today in the Army game that is 6-7 315 and a DL that is silly good. Sa an has built a college dynasty.
 
BAMA is like the old Yankees. Very, very good. But they will come down to earth eventually.

I do however think they win another championship this year.
 
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

Ara, you being a big Parseghian fan like me … probably remember Tom Pagna saying that Ara put all the top athletes on defense and used the rest to play offense (with the possible exception of a QB). His reasoning was, "if our opponents can't score on us (back when there was no OT and ties were allowed) the worst that could happen was an 0 - 0 tie".

People say the game has changed and today it is impossible to have a lock down defense. They may be correct, but I still think the team that plays the best defense is going to be the team most likely to win championships (of course unless they have a really mediocre offense).
 
"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."

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.

Wonder how many of them are good passing teams because the opponent's defense is so busy trying to shut down the run?
 
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

There is no way that could happen as you've taken up residence in his derriere.....
Interesting, that now you think the vulgar wonderboy needs a miracle.

Exactly.

I don't dispute this. However, I am hoping some real investigative journalist or whistle blower would blow wide open the situation at Alabama. Where is Snowden when you need him??
