I say if Saban and his entire staff is coaching since 1/1, UND is a minimum of 7-1 with the lone loss likely being USU. Saban and staff is worth a minimum 10 points per game. When the "Jimmies and Joes" are in the same ballpark it comes down to coaching. Some of the "Jimmies and Joes" were noticeably different in our games vs USU and Drake.
99% of the staffs in America would have managed the end of the MSU game better and not called for the "razzle/dazzle" with an 11 point lead, ~ 6 minutes remaining, ball at opponent 27, 4th & 2 and averaging 6+ yards per carry.
