Saban vs. Miles: Contrast In The Use Of Depth

I thought it was very interesting how these two top coaches approached the game in such opposite ways when it came to using their depth, and it more or less defined the game. Saban kept his starters out there. The best players at each position played all game. Miles more or less rotated in two teams all game long. In the first half, it looked like Saban had the upper hand (as his starters looked a little better than the mix of starters and back-ups that we were using). By the second half it had swung the other way. Bama's starters looked worn down. and our team was still fresh. By OT Bama had nothing left.
