The fact of the matter is that most of us thought (myself included) that we had no chance to beat/stay in the game with Alabama unless we could hit big plays. We literally grinded them up and down the field. That's sustainable in the future, and is a testament to the buy-in Mullen has gotten from the team
Amen. Great word choice with "sustainable"....That's what has me so pumped. This wasn't a flash in the pan game...we played our game and went on multiple drives mixing run & pass and being successful at both. That is definitely a recipe for long term success if you can do it against the best. Saturday night we showed that we can do just that.
