You're right. Their DC is killing them. Grantham just gave up a score running a prevent defense.
Who has slowed Bama down this year?
They better not send Loafers sniffing around Starkville!
Bad clock management cost mullen again. He always refused to run the clock and it bit him in the ass. That was great.
Yeah, I don’t think he has ever taken the clock into consideration. It used to stand out to me when he was at State.Quote:

Mullen is a good coach, but he has flaws. I will always respect what he did for State and he will have Florida tops in the East most years but l can?t see him winning anything while Saban is there. He is not Meyer Saban or Dabo level good
I've often wondered how good Saban, Meyer and Dabo would be without the best players in college football.Quote:

Exactly. Meyer was good, because he had Mullen. Mullen doesn't have a Mullen working all the offense for him. Give him 3 more years, he will get UF in the playoffs. Saban will be gone too. Mark it.Quote:

Holy crap. Called a holding on bama.
Saban in the NFL proves he is a good coach but only great when he has the best players. Recruiting is as important as anything else in college. I will say Saban and Dabo have a way of having great players come together as a team. Not all recruiters can do that.
Agreed. Nothing works to become great, unless you can get all 85 buying in to a common work standard and goal.Quote:

If i remember the DOGS held them to 35 till last couple of minutes in the game.....Quote:

The sanctions came down after he had coached a season although they had already self imposed some of it his first year. 4 years probation and 9 scholarships in total lost (they had already self imposed 2 scholarships prior so they had to deal with just 7 lost). They received no postseason or television ban. Dantonio had much much better success than Saban ever did at Michigan State, and it was 7 years after Saban left when he took over a program in worse shape.Quote:
