Saban is a defensive mastermind, correct?

Can't believe no one has found this but here goes: Ala's 0-2 finish giving up 83 points is worst finish since 1900 giving up 88 in final 2.

In fairness, one of those was vs Auburn who made our pretty good defense look awful too.

Looks like the defense gave up 73, right? Not that 73 is really any better, but still.

I wouldn't be surprised if we some serious philosophy changes in the offseason. Our inability to get pressure with just our D linemen is killing us against the HUNH.

You can believe it buddy. You're the only person searching through 113 years looking for scores.

derp
why are auburn fans so obsessed? just enjoy your NC chance. why worry about bama's 11-2 season and enjoy your 12-1. It's not like bama went 3-9 last year. bama had a down year and went 11-2, let's make threads about it.

What is twitter? Is that what Miley Cyrus was doing at that awards show?

A simple query that takes a minute to write really doesn't constitute "searching" (as you imagine) through 113 years of game scores.

Yep. Saban's gonna have to change his philosophy which he has formulated and codified over many years of coaching and has ingrained in his coaches and players. But in just the last 5 years offenses have increased in sophistication to where you have to approach them with a different mindset. It's no longer about beating your man but anticipating where he's going to be. Requires an aggressive approach and quick, heady players.
Some of these route trees I see now didn't exist 10 years ago.
But you definitely can't have a bunch of bruisers who were recruited as 3-4 DE's trying to rush a quick, mobile passer when you're in dime. You have to have true pass rushers and you can't afford to give up coverage by blitzing LB's and DB's every single play.
That replay of a 300 pound DE trying to contain Trevor Knight running to the sideline when he threw that touchdown back across his body showed exactly why Saban's defenses have so much trouble against those offenses.

Better watch out, you've made a very clear, accurate and concise argument here.
Gonna make the Bammers very confused. My guess is the most likely reply will be "21-0"

34+45=79 last time I checked (not 83). point still stands but dodd (and the OP) should have caught that.

Don't have it recorded but I remember a play in the 4 th quarter when a okie LBer was spying on AJ. The 4 linemen came on a rush and the lb looked to be blitzing then hung back. When it looked like AJ had beat the rush lb was on him quick.
C NS never did pay attention to how CLM beat JFF. Pride is a terrible thing sometimes.

We lacked our usual bad arse DLs this year and still was one play from Pasadena. But don't worry we have our best DL class we've had in a long time coming in. We win our next 2 NCs in the next 3 years.

Saban is so far in your head you had to search the web for this.
