Bama has also mostly avoided playing good offenses and when they did they looked average to bad.
There are also only about one or two good offenses to be found in the SEC in any given year. And while our defensive stats don't look nearly as good against them, we more often than not hold them well below their season average. Take Auburn for instance. Yeah, the defense got pushed around, but they still held Auburn 100 yards below their season average. Texas A&M got the better of that trend in 2013, but not in 2012. We held them to 140 yards below their season average in that loss at Bryant-Denny.

quote:The point was they are not playing enough teams to show they are that good and not just looking good because they don't play anyone. The top offenses they do play they aren't shutting down like you expect a top defense to and alot of the time the offenses are scoring alot.

Also as far as saying they held them to less than normal the same can be said that they scored more than Bama gave up on normal. There are teams that hold the same offenses to less.
