Living in Alabama, I'm sure I get to hear a lot more about Alabama's embarrassing loss to Vandy than others, so unfortunately many of you are missing out on one heck of a comedy show.

Instead of just admitting they just got drummed by a much inferior opponent, the excuses are rampant!

* Vandy runs an offense that is extremely tough to stop (Georgia State out of the Sun Belt Conference just beat Vandy two weeks ago).

* Alabama was flat after coming off a big win (Alabama has 10 xs the amount of talent than Vandy)

* We're everybody's Super Bowl, so we're going to get the opposing teams best effort every time

5*

The coaches came out flat because they schemed their asses off in the second half of UGA.

Georgia State runs an offense similar to what Vandy whipped Alabama with. A lot of veer option, RPO, short roll out route patterns that look like an option play, and the occasional deep shot.

It is hard to prepare for. Even Vandy, a team that runs a similar offense and practiced against it, couldn’t stop it.

It surprises me that more teams don’t incorporate at least some elements of it.

And nothing you posted is untrue.

My favorite one was in another thread earlier… “what if Vandy won every game left on their schedule”
