Thread: Braxton Miller to Alabama???

INTIMIDATOR, I am not making any excuses for Alabama losing, it was their own fault for being stubborn. I give LK credit because I do not think Bama would have even made it to play Ohio State if he was not there. However I think he cost Bama that game against the Buckeyes. Bama could have played smash mouth and stuck with the run and more than likely would have won that game. Buckeyes were not able to stop the run and Bama was controlling the game. Bama went away from the run and tried to pass pass pass and Ohio State was ready for it because they game planned against that because Bama did it against a lot of teams. Kudos for Meyer for being prepared for that, but shame on Kiffin for not running his way to a championship.

I agree, Henry is a BEAST...I think LK relied too much on the QB play! That game would have gone down to who had the Ball last!
I also think Saban built that team with more power than Normal and lost some of the speed needed in areas....IMHO, they beefed Trey up way too much for the SEC....he'll be ready for run stopping in the NFL, but several of the Bama defenders looked slow and a Speed/Power team with a mobile QB gave them fits in coverage's.
Like him or not, I think Urban is building the Perfect College team, just like he did early at Florida...OSU can play power football with the likes of the Old Guard Big Ten and SEC, and can run with the Finesse Schools out West and in the Big 12 but still over Power them.

To be honest, I never gave OSU a chance in the Playoffs...I like others, thought we were a year or two away...imagine my surprise...even more with Cardele...I'm a very Happy Fan!

WE NEED TO GET SLAB TO PUT UP A SPORTS FORUM...I lived in SC for 7 years and enjoy the SEC and "GOOD" fans who can chat, without all the BS....I enjoy learning about other teams and it helps understanding when I watch them!

Good Fishing!
