We could just run the damn football. Passing is for girls. Saban said himself that they got away from the game plan.

When did he say that?

He said they got away from the game plan a little bit when it came to how they were going to use Terry Grant in the offense.

He said we got out of the game plan a little bit "in terms of the perimeter and using him as a receiver." It wasn't about being out of the game plan IE: running the ball.

See the Tulane post game interview, part II on Tidesports, about 50 seconds in...

DUH!!!!!!
hahaha

It's important to note he said that specifically in regards to Terry Grant and passing the ball. He didn't mention it in other regards.

That said, he also said we didn't run the ball effectively. I wonder what defines "effectively" running the ball.

Our of our 26 runs, 8 of those were two yards or less. By his own definition, we ran the ball for over 160 yards against Tulane.

With Grant not being the power back is that what we're to expect from him this season? Coffee seems to be able to run straight ahead as well as catch the short passes. Mark Ingram the same. Grant seems hidden/knocked down the depth chart just a bit, yet it seems a shame not to use his talent. Is this a case where there are too many guys to get the touches to make it down to Grant. ????
