Connection is he used to be Alabama's OL coach. He came with Sark to Texas. Bama dropped off the power run noticeably last season.

I appreciate offensive innovation, but I still  believe football works from the inside out. If you don't do anything about it, I want to run the football through the A gap off the Center's butt. I need you to commit defensive resources to stop that play. After that, we'll attack other areas.

If there's a voodoo skill in college football, it's going into a high school, seeing the 16-17 year old males, and deciding which ones of the 6'4 270lbs guys in there could carry 310lbs on 6'6" and still be fast enough to pull by the time they're 20 years old. I believe strongly that Flood is one of the better coaches at doing that.
Re the bolded, I completely agree.
Like in the old wishbone days--run the fullback dive until they stop it.

I think when you have Bryce Young at QB with a pair of near AA receivers, you might shape your offense around that to an extent.    I think Bama's defense had taken a step back from earlier years as being a factor.

Weird college football, just recalling how if Tank Bigsby doesn't run out of bounds, Bama misses the playoffs.

Bob Bowlsby said that his biggest regret was that OU didn't beat Georgia in the Rose Bowl.

I regret it too.  And I hope the Muleshoe regrets it till the day he dies, as that game was his to lose, and he lost it.

UGA had a bad first half obviously, but that late FG gave them some spark.  Then the running game got going.

I regret that blown coverage in the next game with 2nd and forever.  I felt that was about to happen again this year.

Beating Georgia in bowl games is fun.  I'd rather Texas have won the 1984 Cotton Bowl than the 2019 Sugar Bowl, but unfortunately, I don't get to decide these things.
