Alabama football fans, before we jump to irrational exuberance, some disclaimers are in order. Football games are not won just by select groups of elite players. As Bear Bryant was prone to say, “eleven men just doing their job and giving it a little bit extra.” Only Bryant pronounced the “extra” more like extry. The point being is the offense, defense and special teams units, with all the rotational and situational backups, must all do their jobs for teams to achieve greatness.
The opposite of that perspective is the understanding games often come down to who performs best on a handful of plays.
