re: How long can the streak last?

2011 may have been better, but this idea that A&M caught Bama in a down year defensively is silly. Bama was still the #1 defense in the country and likely will be again this year, but that doesnt automatically mean you'll shut us down.

looking back at last years game, Bama had very little success against us even after the first quarter.

Our first half possessions were TD, TD, TD, 40 yard drive that ended on fourth down by an inch and then end of half. Three of our six legitimate second half drives ended in points (or should have, one was a missed 30-something yard FG). Another was the end of the game.

Essentially, Bama stepped up and stopped our offense could only twice the entire game. Even one of those drives was helped by a 20 yard pass called back for questionable offense PI. Bama might do better this year and still give up 20-30 points.
