This is a common misconception, that Mathieu didn't do much in the two Bama games. Yes, he did. He changed Bama's game plan. Most of the other teams we played had coaches that were too stupid to game plan for TM7. Being the great coach he is, Saban ran his offense to limit TM7's ability to affect the game. In doing so, Bama probably had to give up a lot of their best stuff.
