I enjoyed the 1st game between these 2 immensely. Both teams hit hard and do all the little things right.
How many stupid penalties did you see out of Bama last night? Were there any? I enjoy watching a team play smart football, grudgingly, since it was bama.
No jumping offsides repeatedly. No illegal formations. No silly blocks in the back. No lining up offsides. No touching the ball after they went out of bounds. Etc. etc etc
And yet we're told that penalties can't be coached. I think I heard that Alabama averaged 3 or 4 penalties per game throughout the year, and that they had 1 penalty last night. Why? Because Saban is a phenomenal coach. Alabama has a ton of talent, and probably no less than half a dozen 1st rounders playing for them last night, but then, LSU probably has that many as well. There isn't a tougher defense that Alabama can face (outside of practice) than what they faced last night....but I don't think their offense committed a single penalty, even though they were facing the toughest opponent the college ranks has to offer.
That's a stark contrast between the idiocy of the Cowboys' professional players and Alabama's college kids. Night and day.
