I don't think anyone is going to confuse us with teams that run creative offenses. Then again, Alabama isn't all that creative either. They execute. To this point in the year, we haven't. But, IMO, a lot of that has to do with injuries and turnovers. Not sure how much of that can be blamed on coaches. Our defense gives us a chance to win every week. If we execute just a little on offense, we're going to be hard to beat. Will that happen? Don't know. And the comparison to Spurrier is irrelevant. Spurrier didn't have the talent at SC to run the offense he knew. He adapted to the talent he had and has continued to run with it. Not to mention that SEC defenses had already started to catch up with those offenses before he left.

I disagree with you because execution comes from football fundamentals taught and practiced daily by the coaches. Lining up incorrectly, wasting timeouts, false starts, missed blocks and assignments are fundamentals, carrying the ball so it's stripped easily, fumbles and other details come about because fundamentals are not taught and coached.
