There's a lot of truth to that statement. Coaching can only do so much in one week, a big part of what you're trying to trying to get guys healthy and focused. If he has a few weeks to prepare for something, then he really has a chance to out-coach someone.Yeah, give Coach Saban more than a couple of weeks to game-plan and he does ok![]()
I'm really worried about the playoff though because of the close proximity of the games and the semi-random nature of the second opponent. I fear injuries and just sheer luck will end up playing a larger role, and really how do you prepare when you have that much down time and two opponents coming up? It's tricky and it's never happened in college football before.
