I keep reading bammers here, and others agreeing with them, that the "game plan" was fucked up...."why didn't they run the ball more?". Well they ran 64 plays, and 29 were runs...for a whopping 36 yards. Oh, and South Carolina's Pass Def? Only 103rd in the nation. Saban/McElwain had every right to put a game plan together that was pass heavy due to that fact, AND the fact that their Run D is 23rd in the nation. Bammer only ran it 31 times vs FL, 31 vs PSU, and 40 vs Ark. So they weren't that far off their pace anyway.
News flash...bammer got outplayed on the field. Simple as that. Blame schemes, blame coaches, or whatever, sometimes you just run up against a team that's better than you on that day, and has enough talent to pull off their game plan, and be ready for yours.
