we thought they'd limit the playbook and ask Cardale to do enough to win and not much more. They did nothing of the sort and kept running the offense.That was not an attempt to troll. Let me explain. Jones had one week to prepare for Wisky. Emotion was on the side of the Buckeyes with the death of a teammate thing. Urban, I would think, simplified the gameplan. It carried him. In other words, Jones did not know what he did not know. Now, he has three weeks to prepare for us. He's going to watch plenty of film. UrbN is going to give him more to prepare for. Jones will begin to feel the pressure now more so because he may feel he needs to equal his performance of the Wisky game. He will see that Bama's defense is a lot more complex and more athletic than Wisky's. I'm sure Saban will come up with some exotic defensive alignments and blitzes that Jones has not seen on film. Pressure and unsuredness does funny things to QBs.
