if we had played a team with an offensive pulse in the first half then we would have been down

All these ifs though... its like every game if this... if that.... show me the team with an elite DL, Elite LB corps and elite secondary that has an elite dual threat pocket passing QB with crazy skill talent around him along with an elite OL.

I hate to tell you guys that particular team does not exist and we are the closest thing to it. Guys need to get healthy and stay focused but this is the 1st undefeated regular season for us since '09. The other team would need all that crap and a perfect game to beat this Alabama team. Enjoy it...

It isn't that simple.

You're assuming a team with an offensive pulse AND a suffocating defensive front.

When Bama has faced teams with normal defensive fronts, they've scored early and often. Only LSU and Auburn had the D-Lines capable of holding back Bama.

I'd also argue that it takes more than an offensive pulse. Moo State is lighting it up these days. LSU lit up aTm. Neither did jack crap against Alabama.

A pulse just isn't enough. It takes an elite offense AND defense. The only team I've seen thus far that meets both of those requirements is Alabama.

Y'all are seriously under appreciating what you're seeing. This team is really, really good on both sides of the football.
