ran it 3 times in a row and for all the people who argue that this is simple strategy, it's absolutely not how your modern Dabo or even Saban led team would play it.
Saban has always been conservative with the ball late in games and the lead. With Tua he might not but he is a defensive guy and not a good example for this situation. You act like we were kneeling instead of trying for a 1st down. If we had passed and threw an INT or had a sack fumble yall would have gone nuts saying kick the ball deep and let DA's defense win the game...no way they would have driven the ball 90 yds on our defense in the 2nd half

I'm talking about recently as in even Saban has changed, but I agree, his overall career is probably a bad example.

I think A&M played the run and dared us to throw and we didnt.

I agree with you to an extent. I believe coaches should play for the win and not care about the optics of how they lose if they are trying to win.

A little off subject but your statement brought back a good memory. When Bama got to the Clemson 1 yard-line and the refs called a false start on Bama. Bama did not score - they missed a FG. Later Bama got to the six yard-line and Saban must have told his players not to commit a penalty (they took it as not to hold also) because the next few plays looked like a Clemson fire drill. They were in Bama's backfield as soon as the ball was snapped. Good times.
And how about that Nick Saban fake field goal.
"That oddball sight persisted when halftime ended. Alabama moved some, stalled ultimately and lined up for a 40-yard field goal, then desperately faked it, Clemson’s Nyles Pinckney stuffing the hopeless run of Alabama holder Mac Jones."
It got so bad, poor Savion Smith faked an injury because he was getting lit up so badly.

This right here. They would've melted down.
