As we enter the SEC schedule we all know that it is rare to have great field position every drive. With that, let's look at Alabama's scoring drives so far.

Vs WVU:
7 plays, 45 yards, Field Goal
14 plays, 95 yards, Touchdown
13 plays, 88 yards, Touchdown
7 plays, 50 yards, Touchdown
6 plays, 70 yards, Touchdown
9 plays, 64 yards, Field Goal
11 plays, 60 yards Field Goal

Average TD drive: 84.3 yards; average FG drive: 55 yards


Vs. FAU
7 plays, 74 yards, Touchdown
3 plays, 74 yards, Touchdown
8 plays, 79 yards, Touchdown
9 plays, 37 yards, Field Goal
12 plays, 87 yards, Touchdown
8 plays, 71 yards, Touchdown
9 plays, 40 yards, Field Goal

Avg TD drive: 77 yards; avg FG drive: 38.5 yards

Vs. USM
7 plays, 70 yards, Touchdown
13 plays, 80 yards, Touchdown
6 plays, 38 yards, Touchdown
8 plays, 75 yards, Touchdown
7 plays, 68 yards, Touchdown
8 plays, 99 yards, Touchdown
9 plays, 46 yards, Field Goal
10 plays, 69 yards, Touchdown

Avg TD drive: 71.3 yards; Avg FG drive: 46 yards

ON AVERAGE: Alabama's TD drives are over 77 yards long. Alabama has only gone three and punt three times in the first three games (lowest in the SEC).

Other high powered offenses:

aTm: 6 punts
Auburn: 5 punts in 2 games
Ole Miss: 7 punts

Alabama overall is second in the SEC in yards per game with a shortened game against FAU in as well.

So to recap, Alabama is leading efficient, long TD drives against its opponents with very few three and outs, one interception, and one fumble, while also averaging the second most yards/game in the SEC.

So what you're saying is Bama's D couldn't even win the field position battle against scrubs. Got it.

Surprised there was no onside kick.

Also saying that Alabama has one offensive TD against this season, and in the end, not winning the field position battle doesn't matter if the defense shuts down in the red zone like it has been. Teams may make it to midfield, but when Alabama makes them settle for a field goal or punt, they can march back up the field.

Shocking. I guess Saban is letting Kiffin run the show.

Wait was it your team who had a score with 1:26 remaining against Lamar ( a game you were up 66-3 in)

Oh wait no its worse than that!

You THREW for a TD with 5:36 left in the game (up 59-3) against Lamar on FOURTH DOWN.

THEN went and scored another TD with 1:26 remaining.

Ags were so far into the depth chart we had a white guy at running back and were out past the 30 and ran between tackles.

Took the guy 9 minutes to catch his breath.

And Alabama was using its third string QB to hand off the ball to our 5th string running back, 7 straight times.

All carries with 4th and 5th string rb's.


Carry on with your hate of all things Alabama though.
