Some things never change.

In the 2013 Iron Bowl, Alabama's Ha Ha Clinton-Dix fell for a fake on a read-option play by Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall, which allowed wide receiver Sammie Coates to break free for a game-tying touchdown.A year later, Clinton-Dix saw the exact same play, except this time, it wasn't Alabama vs. Auburn.

Clinton-Dix, taken by the Packers with the 21st overall pick in the 2014 draft, was in the secondary when Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson faked a handoff, allowing wide receiver Ricardo Lockette to get open for a touchdown.

Clinton-Dix didn't bite for the fake like he did in the Iron Bowl, but he had a chance to stop Lockette from getting in the end zone and couldn't wrap him up.

Some things never change.

And Pete Carroll after the game:

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll admitted to lifting the play from Gus Malzahn's Auburn playbook, according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King:

"We'll go anywhere to find a play," the Seattle coach said afterward. "And that one—uh, Muschamp at Florida, no ... Auburn. They ran it. Give Gus Malzahn credit. That's a great play. I kept telling them [the offensive staff and players] this summer, ‘It'll work, it'll work.' But it didn't work all summer."

Speaking of Ha Ha, he broke through the line on a run to the left by Beast Mode and hit Lynch at full speed in the thighs.  Tried to wrap him but Lynch just shrugged him off and kept going.  I thought it was a hell of an athletic play by Dix but apparently he found out, "We ain't in Kansas anymore, Toto."

"Muschamp at Florida. No....Auburn" What a dumbass. As if he is so far removed from the college game that he doesn't know the head coaches at some of the most powerful schools in collegiate athletics. Malzahn can coach circles around him.

Just have to have the right personal on defense.
