It's always been overrated but until the playoffs, it couldn't really be exposed because they manipulated the system so much in their favor. To the point where in a 2 team system in 2011, we get a rematch of a shitty game of LSU/Bama game. We also got 2 SEC teams in the 4 team format formulated so we could get a SEC vs SEC matchup in the championship a few times, I believe both were Bama vs Georgia.
Also, he will be a god at IU. No pressure at all. Making a ton of money. Why would he want to go deal with the fanbases and politics at some of these blue blood schools at his age? As you mentioned, he's not some young guy trying to build his career.
I wouldn't disagree but getting down that far to only come away with 3 while down 24 really does nothing for you. I have a feeling Bama wanted to go for it but that 3rd down play got nothing. If it was much earlier in the game, then sure. But time is now running out.
Hahahahaha. Bama had them where they wanted them, in a 3rd and long and could have gotten the ball right back. Terrible tackling and now IU keeps it and can run more clock. And I have a feeling they will score on this drive anyways.
He tucked his tail and ran once he saw he couldn't just hoard all the talent by paying them all under the table and stacking the deck against everyone. He's like an old man yelling at the clouds when he speaks on today's game when Bama built their program by being doing this same shit but under the table.
I mean it happened against Georgia in the SEC champ game. They also got dominated to start this season against Florida St. Bama fans should get used to this now. That mystique is gone.
Part of this on him. That 4th and 1 call around his own 30 was pretty ridiculous. It was only 3-0 at the time. It's been downhill ever since. Indiana has scored 2 TDs since and that 4th and 1 stopped really gave Indiana good momentum and a short field. I'm not totally against the decision but the play call was ignorant.
