I've been saying this for a while now as have most SEC fans. The fast paced offenses, flashy uniform changes and video game passing yards don't get you a National Title. Proper training and guidance from coaches, consistency, hard work, dedication, physical and sound football is what makes a Champion.- Power-run games force safeties to help defend the run, leaving the speed receivers one-on-one outside for a downfield pass attack. What may surprise you; Alabama’s offense is more explosive than Oregon’s. Despite the Oregon offense’s flashier attack and No. 5 national ranking, Alabama averaged more yards per play (6.9 to 6.6).
- The college football world had better take notice. In a world of hyper-marketed high-paced offenses wearing the uniform of the week, there is a program that is about toughness, defense and substance over style. It keeps winning the national championship.
this is my favorite5. It Runs the Ball. Power-run games force safeties to help defend the run, leaving the speed receivers one-on-one outside for a downfield pass attack. What may surprise you; Alabama’s offense is more explosive than Oregon’s. Despite the Oregon offense’s flashier attack and No. 5 national ranking, Alabama averaged more yards per play (6.9 to 6.6).
I think he's got this wrong. Doesn't Bama practice thud instead of tackling in practice due to Coach Saban's theory that most injuries are when a player gets taken to the ground? I know they do practice some tackling drills, but I doubt it's as much as Paterno makes it sound here.4. Tackling. Tackling in the college game is bad. Many teams don’t tackle enough in practice. Alabama does. Tackling in practice toughens everyone on the team. Alabama's tough running backs ran through Notre Dame’s defense.
This is why I prefer how we do things. It produces more consistency in the winning department. And by winning I mean winning national titles.Alabama’s defense sees the power-run game every day. It’s easier for a defense with speed to adjust to the spread offense than for a defense that practices against the spread to find the toughness and tackling to play the power-run game.
Paterno knows his football and writes an article that's fun to read.
I'm left wondering how he could be so perceptive about football but so clueless about Sandusky.
I am a little concerned about loosing all of the talent on the offensive line. And I am hoping that Chris Black, along with Cooper is going to stretch defenses enough to make up that difference? With Chris Black, teams cannot double team Cooper, or Black will make them pay the price.It's the Most powerful offense I have ever seen at Alabama, & just wait till Chris Black is back.
It's not a curse word. It's a word in the standard english language. It's in the Bible. Why would you not want someone to use a word that, despite what it means, is still just a word? You can't shelter kids forever...heck, more kids probably need to know what it means so they can turn in the creeps that keep doing this stuff and getting away with it.Thanks,now I get to explain to my grandsons , who sometimes read my posts on this board , what sodomized means .
