Which is easily fixed. DB's were looking in the backfield, had their hands down on the line playing man, safeties were playing out of position. Expecting that will happen every game is a little "the sky is falling" mentality. Yes, they played horrible against the Aggies. Some of it was the talent and size of the Aggie WR's and some of it was the size of their Oline giving JFF time to make throws. Oregon is a smaller team on the line than the Aggies, and wouldn't have the success the Ags did. Bama will play better against more traditional offenses. Could the lose to Lsu? Sure. Lsu has tons of talent and good coaching. Would it be because Bama sucks? No.
This.
I don't know of another offense, other than Oregon, that compares to A&M's. It was going to be a high-scoring game. The trick is to....
...wait for it....
....wait.....
.....score more points than the other team.
Alabama won the game, and beat arguably the best offense in the nation. Alabama out-JFFed JFF. I don't see why some are hitting the panic button. If Alabama plays Oregon or a similar team, they already have the formula to win and those teams don't have a stable of receivers that could each play small forward.

I checked rosters too. Oregon overall is about 15 to 20 lbs lighter on average than the Ag's Oline, so I could see more pressure on their QB, and their receivers don't have near the size. Their tallest starter is 5'11"

Not an excuse for the horrible DB play but Belue was injured in the 1st Q.
Geno Smith was/is in the doghouse.
Evans is a matchup issue for any DB. Belue struggled finding the ball much like Fulton did early last yr...however by seasons end Belue was noticibly better.
