A HS coach that Saban had come to scout during Bowl prep came into my friend's store and flat out said every single coach said the RPO game is a dumb idea verses the best defensive line in the country. That putting Tua in a traditional system for Tua would give Alabama a tremendous advantage. But Locks stubbornly made the comment, "Well they have never seen offensive talent like us"
It’s really too bad. Such a waste. That was when we were in the “recruiter first, coach second” hiring phase.

Look, if you'd told me 3 years ago I'd prefer a loss to Ohio St than to Clemson, I'd have said you were nuts.


Btw - now Herbstreit is suddenly channeling his "Ohio State will hear about how they can't beat Alabama." Puh-leeze, Kirk! Alabama's players are going to be hearing about "watch your man, this is what they do!"

Reminder: pick up a jar of Maalox on January 10 at Wal-mart.
He’s been on that kick since the Ohio State upset of Miami in 2003. Ever since then, it’s always about the team that’s being “disrespected.” It’s a tired analysis.
