The LSU game took a lot out of bama. AJ looked pretty flat all day and the defense had to recover in time to chase Manziel all over the field. Sam Montgomery said tackling him was like trying to play tag with a cat. I think the bama front learned just how true that statement was. A&M was probably the worst team they could have played after a trip to Death Valley.



Especially after your defense was.. frankly.. exposed as just "good" instead of great. You may have the least physical CBs Saban has ever coached and that's a huge part of the problem IMO. Weaker secondary than Saban-coached teams are used to and the inability to generate a pass rush without bringing extra defenders makes any team with a QB dangerous to Bama.

Emotional win leads to a flat performance in quarter 1.. and against a team that could probably score 20-30 points every game vs Bama.

pass rush


Biggest problem. It's been inconsistent and don't have the one guy to push the pocket in like we've had in the past.
