But I was told “Bama was still ground and pound like the old days“ but they don’t know how to react to the I formation on d? Makes me wonder do people actually watch them play ?

“Tennessee got in what looked like an I-formation last week on the goal-line and our players actually did not know what to do”

Could you imagine if Cristobal or a UM coach said this at a press conference?

There’d be rioting in the streets across town that would make the McDuffie riots look like a 8 year old’s piñata party

He is literally the only coach who can get away with this. Although still hard to believe it’s the truth
 
Basically the running game is all but extinct. The kind of player today is just too big and fast much more than 20 years ago. This is completely the case in the NFL now and almost as much in college football. The ratio of run to pass is in the range of 80 to 20.

I seen it in high school football where the one team has it 1st and goal inside the 3 yard line and setting up with the qb in shotgun and rb at least 5 yard behind the line of scrimage with no fullback, no TE and end up either fumbling it away or getting stopped because they are trying to run up the middle.

Using a fullback and a tight end won’t get you into the end zone if your line doesn’t block. If anything it will just bring more defenders into the middle of the field, right where you’re attempting to run the ball.

If this old *** fogie could figure out that spreading defenses(his defense) out to the boundary creates an offensive advantage i wish.......ahh nvm

Saban is about to cry.

But it kills me...absolutely kills me in the nfl and in college when its 3rd and short or 4th and short and offenses go into 12 or 13 personnel.

In youth ball when me and my close friend ever had these situations we would spread the teams out and run it for the first and it worked 60 percent of the time...every time

No team in either the NFL or college football throws the ball 80% of the time.

Most college teams still run more than they pass. Nobody is throwing the ball even 70% of the time in 2022 and only ten teams throw over 60% of the time.

Funny stat. Arkansas, who runs an Air Raid system actually throws the ball only 37% of the time.

Saban was saying exactly what a bunch of us have been preaching on here. Space makes the game so much easier for everyone. Most people think passing but it also makes the running game better. Then mix in a decent athlete at qb and they have more problems to worry about. Not only are you spread thin vertically / horizontally the offense has an extra man in the run game. There’s constant pressure on all three levels. You can still be balanced and run the ball if you spread formations to the hashes.

*Cool Story Bro ...Youth ball coaching.

Cribby i was doing this with 10 year olds from Miami Lakes. Literally with cast offs(we had A and B team) and kids that never played football in their life (our fastest player didnt speak english and was a soccer player from colombia..put him at rb). Realize all of the other teams we would play would be more talented or atleast even....we spread teams all the way out and were respectable......this was 10 years ago lol

Our wrs didnt even have to block...pulled the cbs all the way out past the hashes...threw early in the game a go route (1st play) so now the 10 year old safety is 15 yards deep....and was able to move the ball running for the most part.

No they don’t. Somebody also tried to say it was a fluke bc Bama doesn’t commit that many penalties every weekend. When in reality they’re in the bottom 10-15 of all D1 teams in penalties.

Come on broham. You are being dishonest. Nobody said they were a ground and pound. Most on here said bama still runs the ball more than they pass.

Because They understand the importance of running the ball too. You know what made Tennessee so dangerous? They were able to run the ball just as lethally as they can throw it against bama. Guess what Tennessee pass:run ratio was? 31:39

They ran ball effectively, with their pass offense stretching them out. Bama had no answers
