no question saban and major applewhite made the difference last week. shula would have NEVER won that game. that was Bama first 4th qter comeback since 2001.
Bama's thin on the D-line and at LB, the queations is how bad did the hogs beat that crew up?

What I like about the Arkansas game is that the tide played with urgency AND composure during crunch time.

Plus Georgia looked like a bunch of zombies at home against an overrated SC.

Gotta like our chances Saturday night.

Is Major Applewhite an assistant to Saban? Named for Major Ogilvie from 'Bama, I remember he played for Texas. I may have this wrong, but I believe he played h.s. ball at Catholic in Baton Rouge, which would put him in company with Warrick Dunn and Travis Minor. Florida State always liked the kids from Catholic, but I don't know what ever happened to TM. He was well thought of in h.s.
Go 'Bama!

applewhite is from BR and was the OC and QB coach at rice last season. he accepted a health pay increase to take the same job at Bama. IF he has any sense he'll stay at Bama, when saban leaves, applewhite could be next in line. he grew up a Bama fan but was not recruited by dubose's staff, he went to texas.
i like his play calling. he puts together a very good sequences.

I watched most of the Bama game last week.....

Either McFadden is a God - or Bama's run defense is swiss cheese.

Probably a little bit of both.

a bit of both, hogs 300lb+ offensive line, Bama D-line is small in size and thin in numbers, same at LB.
Bama will give up rushing yards and points all year but they have a decent enough offense to score points and stay in games.

McFadden is a God.
Got to be the #1 pick next draft if he stays healthy.

Major Applewhite was a huge favorite while at Texas.
He basically was the reason Chris Simms got treated so badly
by the fans in Austin.

I personally dont like Saban.
But he does not give up in games
and there is no way his kids will not
be in shape for games. He really loves
the 4th quarter when the speed of the
game changes so drastically.

Bama may get beat by more talented teams,
but they will not lose because they are physically
exhausted in the 4th quarter.

with this coaching staff i like our chances against any team. except Lsu, this year.
the team is just so different from what we've watch the last 10 yrs. it's hard to know what to expect from the players. the effort last week was great to watch!
