re: Blame the "Heisman Factor" & Watch Replay of game at 6 pm Sunday on SECN

Not for the faint of heart. However, you can see how futile it was to be telegraph to Saban that "chasing a Heisman" rather than a team victory was the agenda.

Watch for the lack of pass protection for Harris. He limped off the field two or 3 times, and there were very few spread sets where he did not get sacked before he could throw. Long single receiver isolation routes are hallmarks of CCC. I wish LF had never heard the word Heisman or that Miles had LF had downplayed it like they did a month ago. When the receivers said they would not have come here if blocking for LF was going to be more important than a balanced offense. That died down after Harris had 3 200+ games.

Whenever Saban praises anything that LSU does well before the game, like "LF is the most talented player in CFB" you can bet that he will show up after the game at midfield with Henry in tow to show off the real 'most talented player'.

Saban said he knew from the first play it was going to be a good night.

LINK Listen to his post game analysis.

Also note how many times the kick and punt returners get sacked immediately. Guice got drilled.
