I love how Bama played last year's WVU team. They'll compete for the Big 12 title.


But dont you guys have 5 straight years of #1 recruiting classes? Im not jumping on you but WV should never have ever been in that game with all those athletes Bama has.

I agree. I'm tired of watching Bama do the same things over and over against these type offenses and continue to get torched. People will make all kinds of excuses, but that's all they are. It's the definition of insanity, and makes me want to claw my eyeballs out. But hey, it's Saban. Process, championships, etc. At the end of the day, though, Bama will compete for the West, as usual. But you're right about the talent gap.
ETA WV will put points on a lot of teams this year. The D gave up 16, with some help from WV. Not horrendous stats, but it was pretty ugly.

It's a mentality/matchup problem; I'll admit that I'm starting to lose a little faith in Saban. Alabama is not reloading at cornerback or nose guard. The rushing and passing defenses have declined since 2011. 2011 was the last great Alabama team.

The secondary has been exposed since the 2012 season. Saban may be hauling in the #1 recruiting class, but he's either not getting the right personnel or they aren't being developed properly.
