It has been called Alabama's kryptonite, the thing that makes Nick Saban's seemingly impenetrable defense weak in the knees.
To get the right effect, just follow a simple three-step process: (1) Spread the field, (2) Push the tempo, (3) Have a mobile QB.
And voila!
It began with Cam Newton and Auburn in 2010, and every loss Alabama has suffered since then has been a result of the same formula, with the exception of a 9-6 slugfest against LSU in 2011. There was Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M, Nick Marshall and Auburn, Trevor Knight and Oklahoma, Bo Wallace and Ole Miss, and Cardale Jones and Ohio State.
