Thats what I'm talkin about. Make them aggressive as you can and make it a point that they want dominate their opponet from start to finish. I believe thats what separate Saban's teams from the rest, the mentality he instills in his players. I know yall dont like Saban references but its the truth. I dont like him anymore than the rest of you but thats what makes him so successful
That was AWESOME! LOVED watching Russel Shepard get in there and mix it up. The team got a kick out of it, too. Looks like RS bulked up a bit.:thumb: opcorn:
This. I actually stood up out of my chair to watch that part! I think the team is already completely invested in RS. They were INTO that matchup.
I look forward to NOT having to start basically a redshirt frosh at QB for a change. By the way, what's the news on Chris Garrett at QB??? :hihi:
