Like it or not the last few weeks Bama has won because of the defense

I guess you could call that complimentary football.

Defense has issues, but has come up big when it mattered.

The defense is pretty solid outside of 2-4 plays a game. It's just that on those plays the other team gains like 150 yards and scores at least 1 TD.

This team can be really frickin good but just not have had all three units clicking at the same time. Offense didn’t do shite for most of today. Defense stepped up in key moments but was very frustrating to watch at times.

So how in the world does Grubb and DeBoer fix it because the defense can’t keep doing this. Like it or not this is the kind of offense that lady does not struggle against. They can’t stop running QBs but they fair much better against pro style QBs and offenses. Unlike Saban teams they f the past when Bama had a great running game to shrink the game and take it over in the fourth, this Bama team does not have that ability.

They give up a ton of yards and can't stop the run. But they do force teams to field goals.

Ty executing in big moments has been the difference between winning and losing.

The offense is consistent though. Just good enough to score between 25-30, points Max

Just can’t quite turn it on.

Same today. Got the ball in the 3rd, up 14-3 and shite the bed.

Grubb seems to go ultraconservative on the playcalling with a 2 score lead.

I've just accepted that 3 or 4 times a game, some linebacker is going to run to a gap that's already filled and leave another wide open or a DB is going to sit there and watch someone run right by with no help on the back side.

Overall though, today they were in terrible positions all day long and still held USCe to 22 points while scoring 7 themselves and forcing the game winning turnover.

In the end, the result is all that matters.

I agree.

I will say this 5 bourbons in, by the time we get to the end of SEC play we will be a battle hardened group. All the adversity this team has already played through makes them lethal.
