re: What is your opinion now of this Alabama team?

I guess when Upshaw sacked or rushed the QB that does not count as a blitz. No they did not blitz with their cornors or safeties early last night because of the speed of FL WR. When a WR gets behind a DB, you are not in prevent.

How many times did AJ throw deep ? I remember at least three overthrows on fly patterns. What game were you watching ?

No that doesn't count as a blitz. Upshaw is a Jack linebacker. His job is to pass rush from the edge. Upshaw hands are on the ground most the time almost like another defensive lineman.

Also for the other guys on here discussing the prevent defense. I cleary stated the defense Alabama was playing right before Brantley injury was prevent and not the one where Debose caught the TD pass. Alabama was in prevent right before the half when Florida was moving the ball a little right before Brantley injury. They were trying to keep the ball in front of them and make the tackle. Others took that as the secondary being weak.
