I talked all week about Jimbo Fisher’s insistence on forcing a vanilla early-2000s offense based on slants, outs, and hitches into a spread formation and how it incredibly hard to watch against Vanderbilt. They opened up making it look rather effective against Alabama, as those slants just kept on slowly marching down the field. There was nothing memorable, but it just dragged on for 11 plays while only netting 55 total yards, and ended on a lackluster missed field goal.
It’s 2020. A slow, ball control offense ending in field goals gets you beat. And that’s assuming you even make the field goal.
