After an excellent first week, Alabama fans are back on Bill O’Brien’s offensive play-calling.
The Crimson Tide scored two touchdowns on offense, including one in the fourth quarter. It did not achieve balance between the running game and passing attack. Several fans wondered why O’Brien went away from the run game when it was having success in the first quarter. Also, O’Brien did not have creativity in his calls. Alabama looked predictable at times versus Texas.
Mike Johnson, a Crimson Tide alum, was critical of O’Brien’s play-calling. Johnson was a starting left guard on Alabama’s BCS National Championship team in 2009.
