Bama Game Thread: Official Game Thread - Bama vs. USF, 1st Half...

[Bamaingeorgia81]

I have to admit, when Griffen said we had a fourth down decision at midfield, I had to laugh. No way Coach Saban would do something that crazy.

saban is the goat, but it's actually not crazy to go for it fourth and 8 around midfield and supported by analytics. Like I said saban is the goat,(and smart also has this issue but even moreso) but if you had to tweak one thing about him it would be more aggressive on fourth downs like that.

We've made *a lot* of progress in college and pro football in terms of more coaches following analytics and going for it on 4th down, but there is still a lot more times they should.

There actually isn't that many times in football a team should punt. A punt is a turnover after all.

Well. Consistency was never his strong suit I guess.

What exactly was his strong suit?

Think Burton should have made that play. That was a quality throw.

OTOH, Burton has 4.3 speed...

Booger just said quit blaming the QB, it's time to blame the OC.

Hopefully there aren’t any bad ref calls before they move the cameras back bc there’s no chance of a review
