That was not a coaching thing, that was a players/recruiting thing. The starting OU front 4 would not have been in the rotation at Alabama. Same could be said about the secondary.Saban just outcoached Lincoln tonight it was that simple. Alabama was getting pressure with 3 or 4 man rush and containing Murray. Their D ends were sitting back and waiting for the slant routes that why there were so many batted balls.
And firing the defensive staff won't fix that defense. Need some dudes up front and some length at corner would be nice.
