Nick Saban's coaching success is built on preparation and accountability rather than flexibility

He will adjust and he will recognize what he needs to do week to week. But there's a foundation that exists... It is all preparation... a hundred percent accountability. He expects accountability and he shows accountability. And there are plenty of times when he stood up [to the media] and says, no, that's on me. I didn't get them prepared well enough.

This is an assessment of a coach's methodology based on personal experience.

Kyler Murray's height causes some of his interceptions

Kyler Murray does have interceptions where he's too short... it's not even that he couldn't see over Leonard Floyd. It's like, he didn't understand that Leonard Floyd could easily jump up and catch that because Leonard Floyd's that much taller.

While Murray has had passes batted at the line, attributing specific interceptions solely to height is subjective and debated by analysts.

Home field advantage doesn't matter as much as volume when it comes to stadium noise

I actually think that the fact that we could hear that guy yelling so loudly, that ties into their [Arizona Cardinals] home field advantage problem, because everybody should be yelling as loud as that guy... We shouldn't be able to pick out that one dude yelling, you need to have louder fans at home.

This is a subjective observation about stadium atmosphere and fan engagement.

Kyler Murray's height helps him duck under sacks

He's able to duck under sacks more easily because he's five, ten or five nine or whatever... sometimes its height works to his advantage in a weird way.

It's a recognized athletic trait of Murray's, but remains an opinion on how much height specifically contributes versus pure agility.

JMU has a legitimate chance to upset Oregon in the playoff due to extreme weather conditions

We have an atmospheric river coming here... you're going to get a sloppy game with potentially some James Madison fans there against an Oregon offense that's missing Corian Moore... Is it going to happen? Probably not. But it could.

Oregon defeated JMU decisively, 38-10.

Oregon can win the National Championship behind the maturity of quarterback Dante Moore

What do you need to make a great run in any playoff... you need a quarterback who's going to take control... he [Dante Moore] has absolutely just matured into a guy who's now completed almost 80% of his passes in the back half of the season.

Oregon lost in the semi-finals to Georgia.

NCAA Football is the greatest video game ever made

That college football game was the greatest game in the history of video games... maybe Tecmo Super Bowl [is close]... but it's up there.

Greatest of all time is inherently subjective.
