"The skill players they have are capable of beating you one-on-one," Saban said. "They do a lot of things that are real challenges when it comes to big plays. If you make one mistake when you're that spread out, you have a chance for a guy to catch it and run with it." Saban said last year’s 59-0 home shutout against Texas A&M was a crazy game. He said the Aggies’ offense because of the development of quarterback Kyle Allen and the addition of freshman receiver Christian Kirk. "He lines up in the slot quite a bit, so you can't really just put a guy on him," Saban said. "He is very explosive, great run after the catch guy, very good out of the break, very quick, has good hands, great balance and body control."

The Aggies have the deepest wide, most talented receiving corps in the country. It is going to require a Herculean effort for defenders to maintain their assignments, all while spying Kyle Allen, who can hurt opponents with his feet as well.

The Mothership won't tell you why they got suspended, but, yes, it's about the money. And, yes, it was probably because of the NFL, which partnered with Twitter this past offseason. The SBNation Gif and SBNation main hub thrive off of NFL Vines to draw traffic. No longer, I'd say, barring a licensing deal. That's fine, Yglesias and his Vox empire can afford it.
This brings up another issue with e-Media, namely licensing and intellectual property. Ours is a poaching business, grabbing this and that under the guise of fair use, with seldom regard to encroaching upon rights' holders (although, we crack a very sharp lash around this here Alabama site.) The levee is going to break at some point, especially with all the cash at stake for everyone.

I could write a thousand words about each and every one of these stories (as well as Laremy Tunsil's return to Ole Miss.) The only thing I do want to say is that Spurrier was the SEC's original modern villain, one who became grudgingly respected and eventually well-regarded, perhaps even beloved
The Hot Takes are flying off the shelf regarding his "quitting" on his team. That's frankly B.S. Quitting on your team and sticking it out just to play out the string from some misplaced obligation, knowing you're not doing your job or giving your kids what they deserve, is the greater offense. It's like staying in a dead marriage. A younger, hungrier interim staff, intent on proving itself, will be much better positioned to try and salvage the Gamecocks' season.
