On a talent level can you really say we have way better athletes than MSU. We do not have great athletes...people wonder why we cant win big games...Our players are average...If you look at a team like georgia, they have great players at every position and players to back them up that are just as good. When it really comes down to it agree or not....We dont have half the athletes team like georgia, lsu etc have.
Yes our players compete, yes they have heart....but they arent as skilled as they need to be to win on a consistant basis.Just like South Carolina, great coaches not great athletes, they wont be good just like us until they get good players. Call it playcalling or whatever you want, This is the only game all year we lost to a team that had equal talent. I think it will take a few years (atleast) to even catch up with teams like USC.
I know this is such an obvious post, but i dont care, We will not have good seasons until we get the players we need, When it really comes down to it talent and depth means more in sports than anything else, more than coaching, more than anything. What do you think made bryant such a good coach???? Sure he was a good coach but he had skilled players all over the field, he was a great recruiter.
When we finally do get the talent we need to win week to week, You will see a HUGE change in alabama football.

It's been 4 games now and still no word from the NCAA on the Alabama football / textbook incident. We've lost the last 2 games with the lack of quality OL. I guess the NCAA can't process anything in a prompt manner. With the equality of the teams today, they know by withholding eligibility, the NCAA can directly influence the outcome of our season. Makes me mad and I know there is not a D--- thing that can be done to speed them up. :?:
