Big package of bullshit justification.
You should work for the president. That way when he says "My health care package will only kill old people who are useless anyway, didn't any of you see Logan's Run?" you can rush in with a 50 page dissertation and throw up so much obfuscatory spin that it will look like he just personally saved a grandmother from a runaway train by meting the tracks with his laser eyes.
You and I both know that only Nick Saban himself is capable of such a feat.
Seriously though, we do have some issues. We looked like shit in the first half. There is a halfassed valid reason why we played like shit in the first half, and then there is the other half of that halfassed reason. We did play alot of backups and some freshmen, and I think they didn't really come into the game with the right attitude as well. If you think playing all of the backups, etc that we did has ZERO effect on the game, then thats an issue in itself. La Tech gave AU fits in the first half of the first game, and that was with 8 months to prepare and all the starters in. Don't act like it can't ever ever happen. I understand that La Tech is better competition than FIU, but in both cases, it never should have been that close at halftime no matter how you slice it. The ends justified the means. For the second game in a row, we came up with over 500 yards of offense without some elite uber cool offensive guru scheme. The only problem there is if we pull that waltz through the first half bullshit against a better opponent, we won't come out of it with a win.
