Bama's defense "grew up" during the A&M game regarding fast-paced offense. See the later part of the game...
ND reminds me of 2005 Bama... Riding the coattails of the defense.I honestly think we would beat ND by 10+ points.
The way Bama's D struggled yesterday with the hurry up offense solidified many's thoughts that Oregon would present a challenge. No doubting that.I can't believe the pessimism I'm seeing here. Would Oregon be a challenge? Sure. Would we have a month to prepare? Yes!
I sure hope our team isn't reading this!
I get that, BUT one game doesn't equal a trend.The way Bama's D struggled yesterday with the hurry up offense solidified many's thoughts that Oregon would present a challenge. No doubting that.
You nailed it.I get that, BUT one game doesn't equal a trend.
All I'm seeing all over the board today is "we've got to rethink things" or "we need to go dual threat qb" etc.
Every now and then a CNS coached team has a flat game.
Remember he lost to UAB when he was at LSU. We remember the LaMonroe and Utah games, but these are few and far between.
I'm just not sure it is time to panic in regards to the HUNH.
I respect your p.o.v. 230, but will also add about Murray - he can be 'spooked' pretty easily into throwing into coverage. That's why I think Bama's D will rule the day in that game.Honestly I'd be more worried about Aaron Murray than I would be Marcus Mariota. Optimus Klein is a worry too but his supporting cast is what would hurt them against us. I think we'd try to take the option away and make Mariota throw (I don't think he really can against a great defense). Murray and Klein are proven even against some good teams.
I like our chances as well against Oregon..As long as we would commit to running the ball like we should have against The Aggies..I wouldn't like our chances if we used the same offensive game plan we ran against The Aggies..Oregon has 3 freshmen and a tight end playing on the d-line. I'd like our chances..
