Didn't Eli get his start as a Graduate assistant or some role with AU team under Gus M? You know Eli would be on the phone after game to consult on what worked so well against Bama in prep for when they come to como. Course it was obvious they had all kinds of trouble last year with a mobile QB, Strong RB's and a great mid range passing attack? All of which MU has in spades.
Suddenly the Bama mystique is gone and now many teams think they can beat them. Real tell will be when they play WI, it's at home and a tough run heavy team could do damage Bama's vaunted D. Then it's GA who they beat last year but doesn't look good for them this. Of course they really want Kirby Smart to take over as HC and he was Saban assistant. Going to be lot of fun following the drama in Tuscaloosa all year.
Eli and Gus
