Alabama went RIGHT down the field with 10 straight runs, then a short pass TD.
I would imagine Cincy was expecting a lot more pass, but Alabama is missing their top WR, so maybe should have started with more guys at LOS on defense.
Nick Saban just demonstrated some of what makes him such a great coach. Called TO after Cincy rolled down the field to Bama 9, and they didn't gain another yard, settling for a FG instead.
Of course, why Cincy stopped running once inside the 9 is a mystery to me, given they had 5 YPC on first drive.
