This Bama O is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Amazing personnel, play design and execution. Crazy.

On a related note, ND was the only team not to turn Bama over this season. Let that sink in...

Yuck. Not surprised. We didn’t seem to have any luck with that all season. This Bama offense may clear 31 points. Even if some “experts” think they just stopped trying against ND, I’m pretty impressed by somewhat keeping them within reason. Too bad our offense pooped the bed

The athletes and level of play in this game so far is pretty crazy.

Watching this game reinforces Bama basically going vanilla with the playbook after they went up 21-0 against ND

Sark using a TO to setup a TD. LOL. Had to think they were going to throw at the blitz after that fumble.

At the same time, you and I both know there was a very low chance he'd bench Fromm after he took them to a natty.

And that’s why he’s Kirby. Dabo benched Bryant for a freshman the year after he took the to the playoffs. Saban benched Hurts after winning a NC. Great coaches are cutthroat

It’s not exactly the same, but they’re running similar action pre-snap and many of the plays have been likewise in result. They use motion and space to get their speed and talent the ball to work and it is effective. Really not different.

And this shows how bad Rees screwed up by not going more up tempo.

The first drive they went slow lol. The tempo is a wrinkle but not a “screw up” that would have materially changed anything

It allowed Bama to switch out the d-line almost every other play you can’t do that.

Yeah, anyone who says Bama went “vanilla” after getting up 21-7 can’t support that with actual evidence. It’s just opinion or feeling. Heck, one of the drives ND killed was blowing up an end around to Devonta Smith.

The truth is the front 7 for ND started making stops in the running game and they challenged Bama a bit more and got lucky they made a couple mistakes.

I watched it with my eyes. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to bring in terms of evidence outside of talking with someone on Bamas staff.

Could be looking at 42 - 17 before next time OSU gets the ball. This is the game ND did NOT WANT
