Matt Hayes: "I'd be willing to bet Saban would admit that right now. Sometimes even the best coaches outthink themselves."

I doubt it.

BTW, "outthink" is 2 words! :lol2:

Henry improved a lot during bowl practice. I think it was more the play calling than the personnel.

These writers are desperate for something shocking to print.
Matt Hayes is simply speculating; no information about how Henry progressed during practice, his learning plays, etc.
Very easy to sit behind a computer and speculate AFTER the fact.

I think Matt Hayes is 100% right. DH would have made at least two first downs and Bama wins. Simple. And I don't care if he couldn't pass block, he would be running the ball for Pete's sake!
