For those defending our defense the last couple of weeks...when's the last time a Saban defense was ranked 37th in the nation? That's throwing it back to the Mike Shula era bad. They need to get better and get better fast or this is a 9-3 type season.

Half of the Shula era maybe. 2004 and 2005 were incredible defenses with NFL players all over the field.

In week 3? I'm not going to try to find exact figures but maybe
2007 when we gave up about 500 yards to Arky in game 3.
Or 2013 when we gave up 628 to aTm in game 2.
Or 2014 when we gave up 400 to West Virginia in game 1.
Or 2015 when we gave up 430 to Ole Miss in game 3.
Or 2016 when we gave up 530 to Ole Miss in game 3.
If Bama is 37th by game 7-8, get back to me. Until then, have a little perspective please.

Brother, this is the kind of stuff that makes us look crazy. 3 games, 2 trash oppenents, lots of young kids playing, 5 injured LB's. Relax people. If our starting offense stays on the field for either game we might score 65-70 points. Thus the def not being on the field. Saban let Tua go out in both games and struggle a bit for reps.
