Ole Miss Coach Rebuts Coach Saban

[pmull]

If you google the phase you get conflicting answers. It appears either Darrell royal or Woody Hayes was the first to say it. UT Bob Neyland and Mich St Duffy Daugherty are also mentioned as possible.

I've heard Gene Stallings credit it to Coach Bryant as well.  Apparently it was a popular phrase!

Bama has always done pretty well against the hurry up/ spread offenses, with one exception; aTm. The ONLY reason that happened, IMO, is that we came off of a very emotional and physical game against LSU, at their stadium, the week before.

Cliff Kingsbury was dead on in his interview, when he said that Bama would most likely come out flat and that aTm would have to take it to them early and hold on. That's exactly what happened.

Saban has always had the right approach for those offenses, big and fast is always better than small and fast/ big and slow.

    We actually did well against it in that game... 75% of it anyway....
