Alabama vs. Arkansas

To me, this game was much closer then it needed to be and I did not agree with Alabama’s defensive game plan. Why Saban decided to wait until the 4th quarter to really start blitzing Mallett is beyond me. Nearly every time the Tide blitzed in the 4th quarter, Mallett was forced to get out of the pocket, move his feet and make a bad throw. That is the MO on Mallett. When he is pressured and forced to move his feet, his decision making and his accuracy go out the window. For those of you who think it was too early in the game to blitz and Saban did not want to take any unnecessary chances, that is exactly what Alabama did in the first half and Mallett picked them apart.
