Bama giving up some yards

[Bottomtime73]

2nd quarter and 216 yds given up so far.

 

[Cans4life]

Yards don't matter.

Yards don't matter.

I'm pretty sure they do considering that's what we've been *****ing about for the past four years.

 

[Canes_U_Pride]

Does the fact that they cant keep west virgina out of the end zone mean anything?

 

[cane since birth]

They run a similar scheme ehhhh

 

[rudebuddha]

If I was Saban I'd fire my special teams coach.

 

[rudebuddha]

They run a similar scheme ehhhh

So do the Seahawks, 49ers, Patriots, and just about ever NFL team, and successful college defense.

That traditional 4-3 is not made to combat spread offenses.
Same reason Oklahoma and Nebraska no longer run the wishbone.
You adapt or die.

They're bending but not breaking.

 

[rudebuddha]

These talking heads are terrible.

They show the replay of WV's kick return td and the analyst says, "This just drives Nick Saban crazy."

Like Saban is the only coach to pull his hair out when a kick is returned for a td.
Love college football but hate these morons spewing garbage just to hear their own voices.

Yards correlate to points.

The Seahawks system and the Patriots system are not really similar at all. Seahawks are a 1 gap 4-3 team. They play mostly one coverage and execute to perfection, and they use their big DL aggressively.

I could have 500 yards and 12 points. was that a successful day on offense?

 

[INCaneFan]

Clint Trickett is looking pretty good for WVU today and has had some horrible drops by his WR's. BAMA had that wide open drop as well at the 10, so I suppose that cancels things out.

 

[Waffle Honcho]

Yards correlate to points.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.

 

[Cribby]

Wvu is killing themselves with drops

 

[HurricaneU]

Yards correlate to points.

A technically true statement. However, I have yet to see the regression analysis that doesn't draw a very high correlation between the two.

Yup. And Bama's been on the lucky end of a few calls (shocker). They could very easily be losing this game right now.

Thank you. This isn't exactly rocket science.

There may be a very high correlation, but that fact that yards don't cause points makes me care much more about points and much less about yards.

You should care. More yards increase the chances of more points.
