I really don't a see a glaring weakness. What's your weakest position group? They all look really elite

We have the best talent you can have in every position possible

A freshman QB is what could break down but he is doing just fine

Basically. SEC screwed

Correction: Nation screwed!
I don't see any team that can stay with them. Only Clemson and Washington come to mind, but they don't face anyone close to Alabama. Kills me to say it, but its true

Other than Bama coughs up 400 + passing yards to QBs that are halfway decent, teh defense is just fine.

Well, our defensive backs either make interceptions and run them back 106 yards or we commit pass interference/give up a 50 yard play.

It's interesting, at least.

Eh, you guys held a high scoring Arkansas offense to 30 points in their house. That's impressive imo

Their secondary isn't as good as past years but it's still good. Minkah is showing he's in another league than Marlon.

It really wasn't. We looked lost quite frequently in the back end. Arkansas does have very, very good receivers and a helluva QB, though.

Either way, got work to do back there.

It's as good as it was last year and much better than the 2 years before that. It still gets beat, though.

Marlon has had a rough last few weeks.

DL is easily our weakness. We're DBU!

Yeah, he's still talented though and will be drafted in my opinion. Unless he just falls off.

ETA: meant to say will be drafted at least in the 4th or 5th round.

Yesterday's game showed a defensive weakness. That weakness was when the offense scored so fast from explosive plays that it placed the defense back on the field. It didn't start to show until midway through the second half, after the 2nd sustained drive by Arkansas. Time of Possession was near 20 minutes for Alabama and 40 for Arkansas. So, the glaring weakness would be depth. The first 11-18 are great then it starts to slack off - generally due to experience, but its there nonetheless.

Not gonna lie, hope he declares for the draft

Tre White came back for his senior year this year and is fricking killing it.
