But wait there's more:
--OL gave up only 2 sacks despite losing 2 starters!
--Dobbs would've been given credit for over 100 yds rushing but lost 25 yds because of those sacks.
--Bama's D is ranked/performed like this:
----- 3rd nationally in scoring defense, giving up only 13.1 ppg.
----- Is rated 2nd nationally in rushing defense.
----- 3rd in Total Defense (262.1 ypg)
----- Has only allowed 11 TDs all year (that includes the TDs we scored!).
----- Has only given up 5 TDs in which drives were 70 yds or more. (We had 2 TD drives and both were ~84 yds!)
**** ------ Speaking of their D, we are 2nd in total offense (production) against Bama this year. Only WVU put up more total yardage against BAMA. However, that was Bama's first game and a game their defense was not only bad/flat in but also one that featured a Bama D nowhere as close to the one we just faced. WVU put up 393 yds. UT put up 383 yds and remember we lost 25 yds in the stats dept. to those two sacks!
**** ----- We did this to Bama's defense with a bad line, zero depth, and a QB who hadn't seen snaps all year! Oh and Hurd and others fought the flu all week.
Tons of work is still ahead but there's lot's to be pleased about after this game.

I'm not big on moral victories, but I was extremely pleased to see the team fight back and make a game out of it when they started down 27-0. Would have been very easy to roll over and they didn't.
