Quiet night, so I rewatched the Bama game last night. A couple thoughts: One of
Book's poorer games. Bad throws and missed some open receivers.
- continue to find the passing game a head scratcher. Really odd to see multiple receivers running nearly identical routes in the same general vicinity.
- I generally like the run game, but I don't think ND runs enough play action to have the run help set up the deep pass.
- comparing the creativity of the ND offense to Alabama's is like comparing a high school team to a college program
- option into the boundary on a 3rd and long? WTF!
- the RPO game killed the ND defense - why doesn't ND have more of that installed? Most of Bama's RPOs either were a slant behind the LB or a bubble screen. ND had no answer.
- the DB play was awful...bad angles, easy releases off the LOS, too much cushion, bad alignments. There didn't seem to be a real coverage plan
I think the game Monday night will come down to Alabama's DBs ability to play man-to-man coverage. I wasn't all that impressed with Bama's defense, I suspect they'll need to bring a safety into the box to help stop the run. That, in turn, will force man-to-man on the outside. I don't expect to see OSU's defense stop bama's offense. I see a very high-scoring game, especially if OSU is able to score early with a deep pass.

While Book was good out of the pocket, I thought he sucked at RPO and deep reads

Agree with your comments. I also noticed receivers running routes right by one another. On one
of the plays, two receivers started on the left and did a down and across the middle. They were literally 5 yds apart from each other. I guess if Book is high on his throw to the first guy, then the second guy has a chance.Lol.
I watched it in reverse...so at least it ended in a tie...

Try it in reverse and standing on your head. Our punter kicks ass.

Better to join Antifa than watch that mess again...

Thanks for the summary. The DB’s weren’t that impressive all season other than Lewis.
Just my opinion.

Another issue that may or may not impact the outcome of the game will to what extent that targeting hit the Ohio State Quarter back took affects or doesn't affect his game.
Did we play better in this one?
