Saban quoted during the Iron Bowl broadcast saying you don't win or score points for winning the time of possession after UK dominated them in ToP as Auburn is (up 28-6). It's impressive how he's moved past all that old school folk knowledge, modernized the offense, etc. He's been doing his reading on analytics. Yet his understudies seem stuck in the old days and all the old school disavowed nonsense.
Just go score. The defense takes care of itself. Play optimal football, not to protect your defense.
