🏈 RBR: Early Observations

I found this interesting.

Here's a real head-scratcher to me... today in his press conference Coach Saban said the following regarding Star Jackson: [He has been] making a lot of athletic plays. He's a guy that ought to have some kind of role for us on this team, this year.'' The emphasis is obviously mine, and with good reason. When Coach Saban is referring to him making athletic plays and then discussing how he should have a role for us this year, I highly doubt he's referring to him being a back-up quarterback. But what else? I've said before that I don't think Jackson is a good enough of a raw athlete to star at another position, and truth be told we have more experienced guys there anyway, so that seems unlikely. This is all complete speculation on my part, but I'll throw this out there... Is it possible that we see Jackson used some this year in some sort of a Wildcat-like package?

Does anyone think we will join the "Wildcat" craze like many teams are? I can't help but remember this play.

i watched a replay of alabama lsu from 1993.. palmer played qb for almost the whole 2nd half. he was the origional wildcat..

he threw 2 td passes and was untouchable behind the line of scrimmage. i had almost forgotten how good he was..

I think it will be a good way to mix things up and throw the other team off guard a little

Didn't we lose that game?

I think you are correct. We had gone undefeated the season earlier (NC) and they were the ones that broke the streak. We were undefeated up until that point. If memory serves me correct it was an afternoon game at BDS. Before they had added the upper deck on the West side. Only held 60 some odd thousand.
