Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2986480, member: 7511"] I never thought I’d say this about a Nick Sabin team, but the Tide was out coached last night. Bama has lost a bunch of O & D coordinators to HC jobs over the past 2 years and it showed. Getting stopped on downs 3 times in the red zone on offense with questionable calls at best and their inability to stop Clemson on 3rd & long were symptomatic of the problem. For their part, Clemson designed and executed a wonderful game plan. One play in particular stood out to me. Clemson was in man coverage when a Bama WR shifted from outside the formation into a wing position. The Clemson DB followed the Bama WR inside, but rather than covering him, on the snap of the ball the DB blitzed untouched, sacking the QB and causing a fumble. That’s next level stuff you see in the pros. It’s a sight adjustment, where the DB reads an empty backfield and knows it’s a pass play and he will be unblocked. Great coaching and great execution.
