🏈 How Lane Kiffin can build an Alabama-worthy offense

[XXL TideFan]

Decent read.

Lane Kiffin couldn't have found a softer landing spot when USC threw him off and then under the bus of his beloved Trojan program.

The Alabama Crimson Tide roll into 2014 with returning starters at right tackle, guard, and center. The growth and play of center Ryan Kelly down the stretch of 2013 and the increased experience in the interior suggests Bama will feature a road-grading offensive line more similar to what it boasted in its 2012 championship run.

As the late Al Davis said, "just win baby!"

Get the players to execute, preparation, run the damn ball, use a full back, throw it to our 6'6 TE who can run a 4.4, help Coker out on boot legs, hand the ball off to Henry, own time of possession, and score in the red zone. Its that's simple.

Stretch the field and use every weapon. If something is working, stick with it until it is stopped.

The players like him and his offense, so that's the first step in being successful.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

We win our first eleven largely from hanging on to the ball. The next four will take a bit more execution. For some reason, I am more leery of our fumbling potential in the coming year than any since the Saban epoch.

I guess we are all concerned about slightly different matters. Of the real or perceived issues facing the 2014 version of the Tide (e.g., left side of the offensive line, QB, defensive secondary, etc.), I am most concerned about place kicking. You can recruit highly rated kickers, but you can't teach anyone to have nerves of steel when the game is on the line. Alabama needs a clutch kicker in order to win the next championship.
