Saban hates to play against the uptempo spread. More and more schools are going to this offense. L'il Nicky will have to adjust or get passed by.


Not only does he not defend it well, he whines about everybody running it and tries to get the rules changed (claiming some unsubstantiated stuff about injuries). Makes him come across as whiny.

That said, Miles & Chavis do a very good job of defending against the HUNH offenses. See Auburn and A&M this year and Oregon & West Virginia last year. GTHOM is the only HUNH team to beat LSU since 2011 (and our two interceptions had a lot to do with that).

Every coach has his vulnerable spots.

One thing that is true, the running back pass is never well defended by Saban's defenses. Both Fla and Okla did it to us continually in 2003. Watching his defenses, it is still a problem, because like a running QB, the back down the middle is not easily defended. His lbs are also mismatched against an athletic TE. The only problem is that since 2008, Les hates the middle of the field and since Lee, we haven't had anyone who could consistently throw it. Also, Les wouldn't let Lee do it once Crowton left. I almost think Met was too tall and had too big of an arm to screen and make really short throws. Actually Bama's offence would work well against Bama's D, because they do a lot of that.
