Alabama is 76th in rushing offense and gains a paltry 3.74 yards per rush.

Combine that with the fact that they are 126th in sacks allowed, with 35 on the season, and it becomes clear that the Oline is trash.

Saban has been there 16 years, why is the oline in shambles?

You answered your own question.

Sack yardage is bringing down the rushing offense.

The LSU defense should have no problems keeping Alabama under 20 points with that shitty OL. Right?

This will be the worst 14-1 team of all time. Embarrassing.

Their fanbase told us all offseason that they had 3 first round picks on their offensive line.

Is that why Alabama is undefeated vs Kirby outside of the *rematch (without two key offensive playmakers that blew UGA out a month before for the second time in a year)? Is that why Pruitt proved to be a better DC under Saban than Kirby?

Interesting.
We were without 2 key defensive players.

Do you have any more interesting factoids that still leave you as the loser at the end of the day?

We have had both Pruitt and Kirby at UGA, too.

Guess which one has the most rings (at UGA and Bama).

Interesting. Because we had a few defensive starters out too. But that paled in comparison to losing two of the three best players on that entire team.

Yes. 41-24 twice in a year. You definitely get blown out in the rematch for the third time in just over a year with Metchie and Williams starting that game - especially considering Bama still had a lead late in the game, despite struggling to find the endzone with a green freshman WR who had only been targeted three times going into that game and had multiple drops. Plug Metchie and Williams into that game and it's how many losses in a row for UGA? Sorry you're still in denial and those painfully obvious facts sting worse than all those times Saban's penis penetrated your arse does.

But hey, I guess a tainted title is better than no title at all, right?

Also, tell me more about how you blamed your loss against Texas on opt outs and injuries... At least Bama proved their argument by not just beating you with those players, but blowing you the frick out. And still led the rematch in the 4th despite struggling to find the endzone.

Your lone win over Bama since the Bush administration was courtesy of injuries. Not a good look for UGA and the bowl cut redneck.

You sorta answered the question yourself. The backs are averaging ~4.5ypc but sack yardage goes on rushing yardage totals in college.

Of which about half are on the OL and the other half are split between the backs and tight ends (early in the year) and Jalen's decision making.

In reality, the LT pass protection has been awful. The rest of the OL has been between average to good in pass pro and good to very good in run blocking. Especially the last 2-3 weeks.

Colt McCoy. Injuries only matter when they happen to Alabama players!

No sunshine pumping the left tackle situation. Alabama doesn't want to be in 3rd and medium or longer because Proctor simply cannot engage defenders on speed rush in that situation. The rest of that line has really just been gelling together while dealing with injuries at the guard positions. Proctor has improved somewhat with Booker back beside him. Still, that is going to be a legitimate limitation for the rest of the season. When your left tackle cannot redirect a 3rd down speed rusher most downs, you're really relying on 1st and 2nd down success to keep your offense on track.
