Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4824587, member: 1559"] I agree with a number of your points, but I don't think Saban is downplaying passing. The Alabama offense is set up to play to their strengths and Milroe is a good runner so you take advantage of that. Of the top 15 ranked schools, 10 had passing yards ranked in the top 30 and only 2 had running offenses ranked in the top 30. I think you have to be able to pass the ball to be able to catch up in games. I agree about OL as I think you have to recruit and develop your OL as you are not going to be able to find many developed and proven OL in the portal, especially if you are not a top school. Also, I agree about your point with UConn's offense. What are we trying to do? Charlton has talked about balance, but that hasn't worked too well in keeping drives alive. Year 1, I don't fault Charlton at all as he had a true freshman QB and many of the offensive skilled players got injured Year 2 was better, but I think Roberson not running enough really killed drives and we have talked about poor schemes and play calling a ton. Hopefully Charlton studies offenses and takes a hard look at the offense and makes changes. [/QUOTE]
