Ok, so now were going to the "well the rest of the team sucked" bull shite arguments.
No. Our defense was really good. Lindsey Scott was a very good WR. But all you have to do is look at Georgia's statistics to see what other teams had to expect.
Buck Belue threw the ball 156 times all year. He averaged 14 passes a game.
Herschel ran the ball 274 times all year for an average of 24.9 times a game. (Herschel also caught some passes on the year. (7 I think)
So, you tell me. If you were a Defensive Coordinator would you prepare to stop the pass or the run?
Now I gave you our stats.....take the QBs when Derrick Henry played and tell me how many passes Alabama attempted per game. Alabama had a much more balanced offenses I would think, so defenses had to play you more honestly.

And you also recruited lineman who were more focused on the run etc. So since we're making dumb excuses at this point, does Derrick Henry running behind a line that was balanced instead of a line suited solely for the run mean he's better?
70% of Henry's yards were after contact.
Alabama passing game in 2015 was largely based on the play action(wonder why), and Alabama is generally based around 60% run plays overall. If you want to compare just the 2 players, it was around 50%.
But what does any of this really matter when you are playing easy teams every week, while the other guy faced what you consider to be "9 ranked teams".
