It is very obvious to me why the two minute offense is working for alabama. If you look at what Applewhite did at Rice, you will see that about 70% of Rice's scoring drives were under 3 minutes. That's because Major runs that style of offense. It's what he knows. Early in the game he calls the prototypical sec offense that takes 6 minutes to score and his play calls aren't matching what he really wants to do. Maybe it is Saban that is making him do that......but either way it is a lose lose situation. If we go to the two minute the whole game, the thin defense will have to be on the field even longer than they have been before...so until JPW can throw down field and open up the running game again.....we are gonna be stuck with fourth quarter comeback touchdowns because that's when we have to score quickly....which is exactly what CMA offense is designed to do. I don't have the answers. But i do think i have hit the problem right on the head. What do you guys think?
