This difference in Nick Saban and Pete Carrol at USC is written there in all it glory for you by Travis. It is, I believe, a coaching intangible that Carrol did not possess and thus his teams usually served up choke pie at least once a year. If this isn't the relentless pursuit of perfection, then I'd like to see it. I'm standing by my earlier week statement that we'll know a lot more about this team as it relates to the season after 30 clock minutes have ticked away in BDS Saturday.
Thoughts?

I agree with you 100%. We've seen let downs in the past after big opening wins. & this team is better than several of those teams. I'd like to see this team play like it's playing an SEC foe tomorrow. RTR!!!!!!

Sad, isn't it? I really want to believe the "Blaine Train" is reading to roll, but I can't.

Thanks TR, I have a feeling the offense may be a little vanilla for this game. And I expect quite a few players to see the field.

Our vanilla hat-on-hat offense should result in big gains against everyone on our schedule except a very good few. It is those very good few that keeps Saban lighting fires underneath asses.

I don't think the "Experts" / Media are too far off saying this BAMA team is the 33rd NFL team. This O Line is loaded with not only NFL talent but 1st round talent. Amazing stuff. I would also argue that this line does need a nick name for how special it really is. 6 plus yards BFC. Crazy. RTR
