Given how coaches are often copy cats, I guess we should expect to see more huddles in the future
"One of the things that was a big difference in this game, which nobody ever talks about — it's a very simple thing," Saban said. "We're in no-huddle and when you play a no-huddle team and you're not going fast, which we didn't go fast enough, their signal-caller is basically making the calls to defend the formation and the alignment that you're in. They're the only team that we played all season that got in the huddle. It used to be every team was in the huddle so we play our first game of the season where we're playing against a team that's in the huddle so you don't have the advantage of seeing those formations until they come out of the huddle so you gotta make calls.
"That's changed a lot in football, the simple concept of do you huddle or go no-huddle? It does effect the game in a way that most people wouldn't even imagine.
