McCarron and the WRs were 7th in the conference in passing. Ppg they were 4th in the conference and ton of that was attributed to defense/special teams scores. They were 6th in total offense. That's pretty average, slightly above if you give them credit for D/ST points.

so basically the same as they were the year before? where is the great decline that was predicted?

quote:
Comparing Bama 2013 v. Bama 2012 is worthless.

Yet it is OK for you to use the 2012vs2013 metric in your next point,
"2012: 445 ypg was good for 4th
2013: 473 ypg was only good for 6th"

quote:
Also, using ppg game alone is an exceedingly weak argument:

I didn't use them alone, I also used ypg

Bama improved offensively from the BCS Title team. Bama regressed on defensive side statistically. You predicted a down year due to offensive woes, you were 100% wrong.

Yeah, your statistical evidence was so compelling and convincing

Statistically evidence is not needed for this argument, it was very obvious that Bama did not falter due to a much weaker offense. I just threw in a few stats for fun.

Great decline? I said they would struggle with above average Ds. How'd they look against VT, Miss St, and OU? You don't need stats to know they looked atrocious. They got the best of LSU, but a few teams did that last year. Those are the 4 top 20 Ds they faced.

Not sure if you're serious with this statement.

I predicted the offense wouldn't be world beaters like the majority of Bama fans on this board thought. And they weren't. They barely finished in the top half of the conference in total offense. Are you suggesting that the O's inability to run the ball down the opposition's throat when needed or to protect the passer effectively when needed didn't directly contribute to the last two losses?

Damn son, you might want to call Saban with that intel and be sure he brings Nuss back. I'm sure he wouldn't have nudged him out the door if the offense was what Saban thought it would be.
