I watched last evening. He said he was "pleased" with how we responded and how we "finished" the game.

Enjoyed watching those - thank you RTR91.

When Coach Saban said that first play helps with "crowd control" - he means it stretches the field - and opens up the defense a bit - right?

I enjoyed them too.

Interesting thought, maybe. I thought he was talking about quieting the home fans.

Yes......with conventional thinking - the definition of "crowd" at a football game would be the spectators.

Coach Saban is not a conventional coach - hence my question.

i think he was referring to taking the crowd out of the game early, which is very important in a road game.

In the show, Saban reviewed the wildcat play that was a loss of about 4 yards. He only addressed why the play failed (didn't properly line up and some other stuff) and admitted they properly should have called a timeout on the play.

Some of you may have noticed it during the game like I did, but Cooper was in the slot at the top of the screen next to Blake. When Dee White came on the sweep, Blake took a few steps back and Coop took off down the field. Looked like they were wanting to do something similar to this.
