Saban's traditional style the reason for success

Well it is set in the history books and it looks like a carbon copy of previous years, Nick Saban and Alabama on top of the college football world again. Just like in previous years they do it with average at best quarterback play but dominate defense and running games. So what is it that makes Nick Saban's traditional form of football so unstoppable? Exactly that, it is traditional. We can talk all day about how boring his style can be but that's what it takes to overcome people these days. With so many people going to uptempo offenses, defenses are looking to get lean and athletic. That becomes a problem when you line up against the brute, unstoppable force that is the Alabama offense. They do not want to spread you out and play sideline to sideline, they want to line up and pound you in the jaw time after time. It is rare you find a team these days who even line up under center or play at a slower pace but it is getting to a point where those teams are hurting themselves. Yes no huddle offenses gas a defense quickly but so does 4-5 minute drives where they are constantly having to maul with lineman shoving them down the field and wearing on their bodies. The formula to Nick Saban's success isn't flashy, he sticks to what works. By going against the trend in college football he is becoming a match up nightmare defenses. Speed can win you 9 or 10 games but it will not win you all of them when you are playing Alabama.
