2 Questions about the game

[RollTide2432]

1. When Shula went insane, what was he upset about (couldn't tell for sure at the game)?

2. I noticed only playing three linemen and putting Jeffery Dukes in alot(haven't seen him play a regular defensive play all year). I am guessing this was the scheme changes some hinted at earlier in the month at. Well so far they yeilded terrible results. Shula went back to the regular D and it produced better results. Wondering your thoughts on that?



I thought Shula actually coached pretty well in the game. He had some inventive plays that worked.

1. a) when the RB fumbled but was called down
b) when the play clock expired but they were given a timeout

2. Not sure if that was the "slight change." If I had to guess, I'd say no. But, like I said, don't hold me to that one.

It's not...

the defensive change that is planned....

I'd seen Jeffrey Dukes play some at LB late in the year

so, I don't think that was the new wrinkle. The 3 man front was used some against Auburn. Since the 4 man front wasn't getting great pressure, I'm not a big fan of Alabama using a 3 man front.
