Clemson - overrated
Alabama - underrated

Last night Alabama did exactly what Nick Saban and McElroy have been saying they wanted to accomplish. The intensity, execution, finishing plays, use of tight ends, short passing game, being extremely physical, QB friendly, consistency in the running game.

The fact that they did all those things is what stood out to me. It was an obvious result of very good coaching and it shows that the team has bought into what he's been selling. If the coaches can continue to get this type of consistent play from them, I see no reason that we shouldn't look this good every week.

The one thing we didn't show was the ability to score quickly. If we go up against some of the other SEC opponents who are just as physical as we are, and if we were to get behind, we might be in trouble. I'd like to see us work on the long ball the next few weeks.
