The morning of the championship game, I’m sitting down with breakfast. I’m watching ESPNU, air Alabama football and Georgia, 2012 SEC Championship Game. Who could forget the Georgia Dome, the dumb play that caused Georgia to lose or Aaron Murray getting absolutely whopped all over again by Ha-Ha Clinton Dix? (I still maintain that the hit was legal).
What I had forgotten was the Alabama football offensive system at that time. It was all about ground-and-pound. It relied on backfield talent instead of a spread. I saw players like Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon run right through the Georgia secondary for first down after first down.
