Insane hit rate on offense

2015 was coming off Jake Coker, Derrick Henry, and Kenyan Drake, with a slew of defensive talent.

The 2016 team was going through an experiment with Jalen Hurts and Cooper Bateman at QB. Defensively, Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster, and Eddie Jackson were the ones making a lot of headlines.

Point being, these guys signed when Saban was right in the midst of a transition between offensive and defensive styles, and the points explosion had only just started.

Crazy that they bought in when they did.
