We stopped it well enough. If we had a kicker who was worth a damn, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The problem is the special teams, not the defense.

This. Saban has been needing to fix the kicking dept. for some time now.

There is more to it than that
Auburn had a easy TD where the defense was burned but our QB just plain ole missed a guy 10 yards wide open.
You cant have one without the other

296 yards rushing is not stopping an offense. Imagine if AU had a QB that could throw the ball, Bama's D would have really been on their heels.

The offense struggled in the 2009, 2010, and 2013 Iron Bowls. All games were decided by 6 points or less. Texas A&M had an explosive first quarter in the 1st quarter of the 2012 game partially due to the fact that Alabama's offense couldn't stay on the field. After A&M's scoring success was halted, Alabama had 2 more turnovers, and AJ underthrew two deep balls that were sure touchdowns.

Actually you don't stop it well enough. If Marshall could throw better, you wouldn't have won if he could make those FGs.
