Arch doesn't deserve it but you know people gonna rip him for that game. Played a tough road game against a very good defense and Sark had the training wheels on for most of the game.
 
Arch played a lot better once they were down, 14-0 and that deep TD throw was very nice.
 
Read an interesting story. BAMA is about to enter the "Just Another Program" territory.

Really. After the unheard of run by Saban I kinda expected a slump from BAMA unless they pull something together. The talent is there. The coaching, well, we shall see.
IMHO a lot of Alabama fans, all of them in my family specifically, are having a hard time understanding that it is self contradictory to proclaim Saban as the GOAT and to expect any other coach to replicate that level of success. Don't get me wrong, Saban is the GOAT and to be that means a one or two more wins per season than having a really good or great coach in his stead.

Following the Bear Bryant era, Alabama went through Ray Perkins and Bill Curry as coaches, going a combined 58-25-1 with one SEC championship.

There was a brief resurgence in the Gene Stallings era, and then the team fell into middle of the road obscurity for years, until Saban came around.
