Well, back from the holidays in New Jersey. Conclusion – you have to be out of your fucking mind to live there.

Saw a lot of Bowl Games–how great was it to see USC go down in flames – lot of quitters on that team.

What I really wanted to see was Nebraska vs. Georgia. Nebraska actually could have won that game – when they went up tempo Georgia was totally confused and players running on and off the field were never ready. Of course turnovers and pass defense did them in at the end.

What I learned from that game was that Pro Style teams cannot handle up tempo option offenses. The other thing I learned was you just gotta get to the QB. Can’t let Alabama’s QB just sit there all day – gotta hit him every play.

That brought to mind the Buddy Ryan 46 defense from the Chicago Bears 1985 team that destroyed QB’s and got them the championship. You had to have 4 down excellent D linemen – so we have: Tuitt, Nix, Moore and Shembo. You need an outstanding MLB – Te’o. A big tough safety – Motta and good cover guys – maybe we have? So we have 3/4 of the guys. No matter if ND is to win we must get to the Alabama QB.

So here’s a short clip of the 85 Bear defense – we need a variation of that to win.
