Ravad 77 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 blamed his players? There was no such spark for Alabama's offense. "Maybe we need to improve our design," Saban said. "But I have a feeling once we watch the film, it will come down to execution." "We had a great opportunity to come here and keep improving our identity as a football team," Saban said, "and I am not sure we did that by the way we performed in this game." "I did not feel like we played with the kind of poise to execute the way we needed to execute to have success against a team of their caliber."

Justin5 20 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Regardless if it is the players fault or not coaches should always take 100% of the blame. See: Steve Spurrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLink02 8 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Saban hates getting the blame. He always has...now, he will say after games that it is his fault, coaches fault, etc....but inside, he has always hated it. When LSU got spanked by Bama in 2002 (I think it was), he went after his players a good bit. I only remember that specifically because I got sent that article by email from everyone I knew at LSU....I need to find it...let me go look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalensGhost 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Guess you guys missed his press conference last week. Selective perception. Take one incident and use that as the only basis for making a judgement. Tebow throws one good pass and he's the greatest quarterback ever. No other quarterback has ever thrown an on-target pass before. Saban says the loss to Georgia was at least partically his fault so he always does it.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Tebow throws one good pass and he's the greatest quarterback ever. I said he was the greatest QB ever? Or I said he's a GOOD QB? He only completed one pass? Selective perception. Selective would be using this week's quotes while leaving out last week's. Wouldn't it? The question was posed "does Saban ALWAYS blame his players"...and I pointed out an example just six days ago where he took TOTAL blame. What's wrong with that?

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The same Clemson team that didn't score in the entire 2nd half against FSU? And don't forget, 14 of UAB's 24 points came from turnovers. One, a pick run all the way back, and another fumble that put them RIGHT near the end zone.

TitanTiger 20,510 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'm not surprised at FSU's defense playing well as much as FSU scoring 21 pts on Bama's D. The Seminole offense has been a case study on ineptitude all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'm not surprised at FSU's defense playing well as much as FSU scoring 21 pts on Bama's D. The Seminole offense has been a case study on ineptitude all season. They didn't exactly score 21 points on our D. They only had one drive. And our O kept putting their O at midfield. Remember, we had a fumble on the 4 yd line which led to a TD, and the 70 yard hook route came because we were having to sell out for the run to get the ball back late...our rookie CB had no safety help and they decided to throw instead of run. I thought our D played exceptionally well considering the circumstances they were constantly put in by our O's mishaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 bg i get your point (and i totally agree about last year being irrelevant), but you're kidding yourself if you really think fsu only had one drive OR that fsu's defense is really one of the best saban has seen. c'mon now. they're a good defense, but they're not even the best defense you'll see THIS SEASON (hell i'll bet you a dollar they're at best the third best defensive team on your schedule). fsu drove it like 60 yards to your 7 before prince hall stepped in front of one. the fumble was basically the pay off for keeping you in crappy field position. they had at least two legit drives and one really big play. that's enough to win you a lot of football games if you play defense. in the end, bama is exactly where i thought they'd be. i picked 'em to finish 7-5. i said 6 of the teams on their schedule had better talent. i thought they'd pull one upset, and low and behold they're 1-2 in the games i was talking about.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 They drove it to our 7 but you can't discount the interception. Prince made a good play on the ball. That's like giving us credit for a 3rd touchdown because Keith dropped that bomb in the end zone. Considering all the jams our D was put in yesterday, I thought they played very well. I picked 8-4 or 9-3 to start the year, and I think we are still on pace for that. At the beginning of the year I thought LSU would cream us. But considering how EVERYONE is playing so up and down this year, even that game isn't a given as a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 the game that's going to swing you to 8-4 is tennessee. i thought they'd have more defensively than they do. they're a joke on that side of the ball... the offense is pretty solid though. i still say msu has the horses to run with you if their defense is clicking. pegues makes their secondary dangerous, and titus brown is the one of the top two ends in the conference this year. the way they run the ball and defend... that's a team that could shock you again. i know you don't believe me because we went at it over this in the offseason, but their starters are just talented as arkansas'.

Bama's D held offensive powerhouse FSU to only three TD's in an instant classic defensive struggle. Forget about the fact that FSU had their fifth-string QB in the game.... It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
