Yep, goes to show Miles and his coaching staff got a lot out of some very young talent. I'd say that is coaching up in some pretty key positions. Good news is next season they will have tons of experience. Things could be looking bright for the future. Of course if a few necessary changes aren't made it may not.
what caught up with bama this year and hopefully for years to come is that they are the big dog now. a season maker when you beat them. for everyone. last year and the year before i thought were saban's best coaching years in his career but this year was a stinker. playing with a lead is right in his wheelhouse. in his three losses he lost three different ways: trying to keep pace/come from behind with carolina (probably his weakest suit) trying to trade punches with us (normally he's fine with this because of his defensive prowess) playing with a lead vs AU (how many times when he was at LSU did we say he sat on a lead?? horrible job to lose that game i don't care what theranking of the team you're playing. plus you're at home. miles would've had a u haul out in front of his house if he'd lost that way)
