Did it seem like our opponents NEVER turned the ball over?

If so, there's good reason.
Our 2014 opponents ran 47.3 Plays Per Turnover, the highest rate allowed in the Saban era. Our 2013 opponents had the second highest Plays Per Turnover rate at 40.6.
By contrast, our offense managed its worst Plays Per Turnover rate in the Saban era at 46.3. Our best years in terms of this ratio were 2009 (78.9) and 2011 (72.1).
The more we know
God I miss our 2009 defense (a ridiculous 27.2 Plays Per Turnover)...

Yeah, we haven't seemed to force as many TOs lately. And of course we've had more. Need our INT numbers to get back to form, and the backs could do a little better job holding onto the ball.

No surprise. We had way too many guys starting on this team that never would have seen the field in 2009 or 2011.

Yes. It definitely seemed like that. Even the teams like Southern Miss and FAU didn't turn the ball over to us. Really bothered me this year. I'll give them credit where credit is due though, they made some really crucial turnovers when they needed to. (Arkansas and Miss State)
Also, I specifically remember before the Ole Miss game when I said "Watch. Bo Wallace won't throw a single damn interception this game." And go figure.

Well, two things need to happen. More pressure by the front 7. Get in the QB's face, especially on 3rd down, make him feel uncomfortable, and throw errant passes. Secondly, DB's turn their fricking heads.
