Bama is cycling out!
- Thread starter Sparklecity
- Start date
I think it is a bit of both. Tennessee has a really good offense & Alabama is making too many mistakes. Still a lot of game to be played though.
UT is good. I dare say they'd beat the brakes off the likes of clemzon.

I am tired of Alabama but there is no way I can pull for Rocky Top.
Tenn. has a good team but I want to be at the same level as Bama even if they are cycling out.
There was a huge debate on it at the time he was recruited. IIRC it had something to do with his dad....same reason Clemson didn't look at him.
Who knows actually. I just know it was a big ongoing discussion during that years recruiting.
That was a BS call, Tennessee did the same to bama the only difference was Tennessee grabbed the face mask on the way down.
No...Alabama is still easily one of the best teams in the country. The difference is...UT is back....and in less than 2 years. It is very possible in today's college football if you hire the right guy, and if he brings the right system.
AIR RAID
The things about Bama that are striking to me:
1. They aren’t nearly as deep as they used to be
2. For a Saban-coached team, they are undisciplined and sloppy (this one is especially surprising)
3. They struggle on D
These have all been hallmarks of Sagan’s teams.

Young is crazy good. I loved watching him play yesterday. Everything around could be falling apart and he could have 4 defenders zeroing in on him and he keeps his head and figures out how to make a play.
Geez. We've lost some great players to those viles. I go back to Stanley Morgan who originally committed to us, Carl Pickens who originally committed to us and I could go on. It sounds like another one will go their way this afternoon after we all but had him locked up. Hope we doesn't come back to haunt
Alabama played abominably and yet would probably have won if that boy had kicked that late field goal. They could not have played worse. That's alarming on a couple of different levels - both for their constituency and for the constituencies of other people they might play. I'll agree this isn't the classic Bama, but they aren't exactly without hope, either. That old man out there didn't forget how to coach since they last won the championship. But now, they have to win out.
I don't think he's coasting. I think it's more likely that the constant turnover on the coaching staff has finally become too much to be sustainable.
I don't think he's coasting, but I do think we're witnessing what happens to all coaches. For whatever reason, they just lose their grip towards the end. Now, admittedly, there may be a lot of overreaction here, as Bama still will likely not finish the season with more than a couple losses, but it's the nature of their play that's interesting to me. Saban teams have always played disciplined, but that hasn't been as much the case the past 2 seasons. For sure, Bama is in no danger of becoming a 4-loss type under Saban, but their air of invincibility is gone. Small though they may be, you are starting to see some cracks. Who knows though? Saban may get fired up and whip this team into shape, win out and win the title. Or they could lose a couple more. Just hard to tell.
