He won one championship with a defense that didn’t give up a TD in eight quarters and change against the only team in the country that was even remotely comparable to UA that year.

He won his second with one of the greatest offensive lines in history and a beast of a RB in Lacy. ND’s D looked as invisible as Te’o’s girlfriend against the running game that night.

McCarron was a great QB, but he had all kinds of muscle on the roster with him back when physical dominance was a bigger part of the game.

I mean, from 2010 onwards Alabama QBs enjoyed a plethora of offensive talent the likes of which had never been seen before in the history of our program. Just look at how talented the 2018 Alabama roster was on the offensive side of the football when Tua was the starter:

Tua Tagovailoa (1st round pick)
Mac Jones (1st round pick)
Josh Jacobs (1st round pick)
Najee Harris (1st round pick)
Jerry Jeudy (1st round pick)
Henry Ruggs III (1st round pick)
DeVonta Smith (1st round pick)
Jaylen Waddle (1st round pick)
Alex Leatherwood (1st round pick)
Jonah Williams (1st round pick)
Jedrick Wills (1st round pick)
Jalen Hurts (2nd round pick)
Irv Smith Jr. (2nd round pick)
Damien Harris (3rd round pick)
Jerome Ford (5th round pick)
Ross Pierschbacher (5th round pick)
Deonte Brown (6th round pick)
