To be fair, a lot of the first half throws were to Eifert when Dee was covering him. I think their gameplan was "get the ball to our best offensive weapon at any cost." They really found success in the second half going to their WRs because we weren't giving them Eifert. They should've adjusted earlier; we were clearly trying to take the run and Eifert out of the game and taking chances on their WRs.Well....imagine we're in a coaches meeting and I say.."I think we should pick out their absolute best corner and throw at him all night"..
Am I dumb or gutsy?
I agree, and Bama disguised coverage all night to fool Golson into thinking Dee was in man or press man coverage.Gutsy move I think... they had to try it
that's using a pretty generous definition of "success"To be fair, a lot of the first half throws were to Eifert when Dee was covering him. I think their gameplan was "get the ball to our best offensive weapon at any cost." They really found success in the second half going to their WRs because we weren't giving them Eifert.

This is the correct answer. The coverage dictated it. Part of Sabans plan.I think they knew milliner was going to be left on an island most of the night and they wanted to try to get the one n one matchup.
Maybe they thought, if, they could connect they could get a Saftey cheating that way and open something else up.I think they came out cocky and wanted to show him up. It didn't quite work out for them.
LOL, and that's why they rarely threw at Milliner all season. :biggrin: That was a great pick, haha.Michigan tried it 1st game of the year - shoulda watched how that worked out for them.
FIFY. :cool2:Trying to take a page out of our book from last year? Where we kept throwing at the honey badger. Only exception is Milliner can actually play cornerback.
