After seeing us run that a bit against the barn, I'd not be surprised.Gary Danielson believes Bama will unveil a no huddle , up tempo Power running game.
Yes, I look for this against GA and ND if we get there.After seeing us run that a bit against the barn, I'd not be surprised.
I would love to see the first play. Play action pass with cooper on one side, and Black on the other side, and AJ hit the one that is left open.Chris Black.
An early onside kick would only mean we are in deep trouble.Do we have a WR that can throw the ball? Maze was our passing WR the last few years. Can Cyrus or Christion Jones throw the ball?
I expect maybe an early onside kick if we find our selves down early or unable to slow down Murray.

The most uncharacteristic thing I ever remember seeing CNS do is the fake punt in the BCS game early against Texas. Still can't believe he tried that one.
It would mean Georgia's not being careful.TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- With a game-opening onside kick to get things rolling and a John Parker Wilson-to-DJ Hall connection that never stopped, Alabama picked a fine time for its best game of the season.
The Crimson Tide's 41-17 victory over Tennessee (No. 21 BCS, No. 20 AP) Saturday turned into a rollicking debut for coach Nick Saban in the intense border rivalry that had been dominated lately by the Volunteers.

This wasn't the first time Saban has started a big game with the onside kick.
"We played Auburn at LSU once and I started the game out that way and the same thing happened," said Saban, a former LSU coach. "I think it was a tremendous momentum-getter for us."
I don't think we want to see Jesse trying to pass block. Being a road grader is one thing, but pass-blocking requires quite a long time to become proficient...I think we should run some quick tempo to confuse Georgia's defense and because they don't have the depth that Bama has. Georgia played great in the first half against LSU last year, but ran out of gas in the fourth quarter. Maybe, we will see Jesse Williams in the backfield pass blocking for AJ on key passing downs. I also would like to see Sims come in and run some option plays, but then try to burn Georgia deep.

Just can't see us taking a risk like that in a game like this no matter what because if it fails Murray is set up around midfield. If we are having to kick on side kicks early then we have had a quarter so bad it makes the first quarter against TAMU look good.It would mean Georgia's not being careful.
It's not about "having" to kick onside kicks. It's about taking opportunities that are presented. If Georgia is playing normally, those opportunities won't be there. If they are going to give Saban a gift, then he's going to take it.Just can't see us taking a risk like that in a game like this no matter what because if it fails Murray is set up around midfield.

I hear ya, but it would still be a huge gamble even if they were being sloppy on kick-off coverage.It's not about "having" to kick onside kicks. It's about taking opportunities that are presented.
