They finished 4th in the West. Absolutely stacked year for the division. MSU was 5th, won 9 games, and put a 50-burger on Michigan in a NYD bowl.

Very talented team. They did have some OL injuries and new personnel,ankle injuries on the DL, Hightower was off knee surgery, and both Ingram and Richardson were nursing lower body injuries, but it was still a talented enough team to win the SEC. They were 2 4th qtr meltdowns and 4 points away from winning the West. But, again, it had much more to do with complacency and consistent effort than injuries. They didn't seem to handle the success as well, and it showed early in struggles with Arky and Ole Miss before their first loss.
The USCe game was a telegraphed punch that should have been seen from the year prior. The Old Ball Coach had Bama's # in 2009 in Tuscaloosa if not for Ingram's heroics. And, the team still went in looking half-assed and ill prepared. Then got punched in the face, repeatedly.
It is what it is.
