Saban has a different opinion of

[BigDogMaroon]

Our coaches and team than most on here. Don't care how many posts you have or what your username name is I think his opinion carries more weight.

“Their coaches had a good game plan and their team played really physical football,” he said. “We could not control the line of scrimmage the way we want to."

And every coach in the SEC said Sly Croom was great too. Everyone loves MSU's coaches when they are losing and in their place. Not so much when winning and causing issues.

Bama's running game has gotten soft. They have been pointing this out for several weeks now.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I think what

he meant to say was "their defensive coaches had a great gameplan."

 

[myusernamesucks]

He kicks his *** every single year. Of course he would say that. He probably would be in favor of giving Dan a lifetime contract.

SEC corches Hated Jackie Sherrill circa 1997-2000.

I think he is just being a good winner

Sabands was saying what many people were thinking. We played a more physical brand of defense than we have all year. That, plus disguising the blitz, then dropping back into cover-8 befuddled the qb with the good-looking mom. We made Abalama one-dimensional for most of the game, and won the turnover battle.

Our downfall, again this week was on special teams.

Agree special teams were awful but if I could magically produce a couple of receivers who can catch the ball when it is clutch time I'd take them over about anything else.

I think they pretty well controlled the LOS on their defensive front. We had zero running game. Typical coach speak. I'm sure he has good things to say about all the teams he beats.

I agree, especially late in the game when our 3rd string qb threw a perfect pass over the cornerback's head close to the goal. Can't remember which receiver it was but IF they catch it, they fall into the end zone. College receivers HAVE to catch the ball.....

Our running game sucked because we continue the god awful round peg in a square hole approach by using Perkins.

And i I believe it was Bear Wilson on that pass to the goal line.

I understand your point, which may usually be the case with some coaches, but in this instance I think Saban was being sincere and showing respect.
