that one play baffled me. he could have made any contact at all with the rb and made him step out of bounds, but he dove at the guy's feet instead of making contact up high allowing him to jump him

I think CNS, in the right setting, would probably admit it after watching the tape. Don't hardly see how he couldn't/wouldn't see it if he's being honest. But, it'll probably never get asked and, therefore, we'll probably never know.
a shortage of effort is what we saw from fsu. i dont think there was a shortage of effort on the part of our team, a lack of execution and focus, yes, but not a lack of effort. if there was a lack of effor, we would not have had 3+ chances to tie/take the lead in the fourth quarter after getting man-handled like we did.
My bust. I meant to say there was "no" shortage of effort. Brain freeze. I will edit my post. Thanks.
I agree with you, and I am not saying that because we lost to OSU. After watching Oregon play yesterday, they are heads above everyone else. Realizing anything can happen in college football, if Oregon plays their usual game, they are going to take home the first playoff trophy.
Still, there are plenty of positives for Bama this season. We performed better than most expected and have great potential going forward. Saban is not one to be content with anything less than perfection, always thinking of ways to change and improve. I anticipate we will see some surprise moves in he next couple of weeks. As uncomfortable as it is to change, Saban will do whatever is necessary to be successful.

250 lbs. can be very fast when you're trying to tackle something as big as you are or more.

Because nobody was near him on the big runs. LB's dropped back in coverage (in the zone coverage OSU ate us alive on) and the whole middle of the field was open once he made it past the DL. It's almost like we didn't think CUM would run his QB.
got it
looking at how much "adversity" (a lot of it admittedly self-imposed ) this team overcame this year to get into the playoffs as the #1 seed talks to the high character of this team.-----
There's a fourth possibility, Rich: We ran the same offense that we ran all year. For the first time since 2007, we did not have a 1,000-yard rusher. That doesn't mean we were pass happy. We've kept defenses off balance all year. In Ohio State, though, we played the most physical set of DBs since Ole Miss, and they didn't miss any tackles. Their linebackers also were very fast. The fact that our defense couldn't get off the field put more pressure on Blake et al to make plays.
Would the game plan have changed with a healthy Yeldon? I think we would have run it more, sure. But it seems to me that we're criticizing the very approach that got us to the game in the first place.
thanks, my espn streaming connection was so shaky last night, i wasn't about to attempt to rewind or do anything else that might interrupt.
This was me last night....
Hey, is this the Alabama sideline phone? Put Henry in and run around
left end...
Jesus man, could you change the channel....

Running and stopping the run are becoming a thing of the past only for a while. When I was a kid we slung the ball around pretty good... Namath, Stabler, Scott Hunter. And Bear's 1966 defense was fast, not big.
It is hard to see sometimes especially after a heartbreaking loss but these things really do go in cycles.
The thing about teams that run HUNH offenses (no matter what style) is they seem to be very efficient and I wonder if that has to do with the rhythm they get into while going fast? It puts pressure on your offense to be as efficient because odds are your defense isn't going to stop them many times.
