“It’s easy to dominate with 5 stars at every position” bullcrap that some people love to say when discussing Pruitt’s body of work. Bama’s defense has looked like Swiss cheese with those same players. Matter of fact Pruitt was down pretty much all of his linebackers towards the end of the year last year. We have our football coach, let’s let him coach
Clemson doesn't win the game without all the freaks on offense, but they also don't win if they don't have the dominant OL and stingy D. For all the equality on both sides of the ball, stellar QB play is the trump card...and coaching. It's all a cumulative effect. I think Clemson coaches out coached Bama, and may be starting to see that Saban losing coaches every year does affect their ability to win games where they aren't "out talenting" the other team.See post #28 over in the thread below. Over a 4 year recruiting period leading up to last night's game, Bama has recruited nearly twice as many 5* and 4* players as Clemson. You have to recruit well, but you don't have to 'cruit like Goliath to beat Goliath. Clemson settled that issue not once but twice.

So our talent level has nothing to do with how bad we looked? All of that is on coaching? RidiculousOk, I didnt say anything about their record, I said they look like trash in 9 of 11 games. Had they looked good in most games only losing by a score or two in most then my opinion of his first year would be different. They didnt.
