Even when we broke tendencies by throwing bubble screens w/ jefferson and a hb mid screen, Bama snuffed it out. They were on a whole nother level last night. I've said in another thread and will say it again, they put on a defensive clinic. Up & coming DC's are gonna watch, dissect, and learn from that film for years to come.

Wouldn't a vertical passing game helped? I know that we did not have that since the Russell/Flynn/Perrilloux days. I have accepted this after the 2010 season. Just hoped for some efficency by the QBs.

I agree with Bama's D. I don't any team would have had success on them last night the way they were playing.

Not to take anyhting away from the coaching job they did, but those up & coming DC's are not going to have close to comparable talent.

7thWardTiger you are right on. The other thing I think is we and our players were starting to buy into this team being one of the best ever. To me folks were putting the cart ahead of the horse with Bama being just as good or better than us. Any way they beat us like a step child and Bama is No. 1. Saban will continue to be a thorn in the side of Miles for years to come .

They didn't have to "sniff it out." They were in cover two almost the whole night and these were 2 man screens. They were set up perfectly to kill that play all night long. The weakness of the cover 2 is deep middle, not sideways. Did we have a QB or staff that noticed that and what it meant?????? No, we did not.
