Me...here for that very reason... "Like shit through a tin horn" - Nick Saban

I figured this would be the featured comment.

[@mickeypowell1600]

LOL! You guessed it. Those guys 'Southern' really were a great rushing offense.

[@Ralphdawg]

That interview by Saban got me here

[@drwinstonOboogi]

Alabama had to keep their starters in the whole game. Georgia Southern lost 35-7 to North Dakota State in the FCS playoffs. Iowa State would have beat Alabama by six TD's.

As an Auburn fan, I'll always respect Nick Saban for one thing: Almost a decade later, he is still furious about this game. My kind of coach

[@speakingtruths4215]

It’s his own damn fault. He’s the coach, not the media. If he is so pissed off, get your f ing team ready to play the damn game. Obviously, he didn’t do his job that week.

[@rileyblack4415]

@@speakingtruths4215 The thing about the option is, it's hard to get ready for in one week because it's so alien these days. Option teams are usually garbage in bowl games because the other team always has 2-3 weeks to prepare. It's why Saban won't schedule them anymore

I'm old enough to remember the Tide offenses under the Bear. GA Southern's is run like that. They line up about 2 feet behind the center and explode off the snap with enough momentum to smash and chop. I mean I saw Bama DLs getting blown down! Eagles just didn't have the raw talent against today's Bama.
