re: alabama builds their team to beat us

Saban has said in the past he designed his Bama teams to stop LSU. Not going look it up but he said it.

No, he didn't. You're confused.

I'm sure you're talking about what he said after the 2014 game.

Nick Saban LSU Postgame Press Conference

He said Alabama is built to beat a team like LSU. Not LSU specifically. College football teams like LSU.

He then goes on to talk about how the league has changed, and how you need smaller, faster players to defend the spread, but how Alabama still has big guys that play the power run.

Sometimes, when your opponent is doing something that is very effective, it helps to adjust your personnel/recruiting in order to give your team a better opportunity for success. This is incredibly obvious. Alabama is not just very effective. They are the premier team in the SEC.


Many on this board seem like they are so confused about what Saban does at Alabama, and why they are so good. Do you not remember what he did at LSU? Do you remember how big the DEs on the 2003-04 Team were (Do you remember how good they were against the run?)?
