i'm pretty sure that utah's coach wittingham used to be one of urban meyers coordinators  and from what i know of them, they run a similar looking offense (with three key distinctions; tebow, athletes, meyer). so to kind of piggyback onto the bonus of extra practices because of the bowl game, we get added time working on defending the spread-option-gun or whatever it is.

i think the next few seasons could turn out to be like the early 90's where (cept we're going to win most of the SECCG's this time round) the west and east are pretty much dominated by us and florida. so any added time spent prepping to play assignment defense is time well spent.

maybe saban can get paul johnson to agree to a spring scrimmage (and bury the hatchet between the two schools, thus allowing us to resume our tradition of pounding the  yellowjackets every fall)
