Who were the elite QBs they faced since 2010 ?
Cam, JFF, Murray (how did they play against them)
I can not think of the better than average QBs they have faced. Maybe Knight, Marshall, Mett or Garcia.
Their secondary has been propped up be the lack of great QB play in the league the last 5 years. When they played a great or better than average QB, they were exposed.



Still waiting for someone to challenge the list of better than average QBs that Bama's secondary has faced since 2010. It is easy to get a reputation of being a great secondary, when you only face a few decent QBs. Your stats can be skewed when mostly playing a soft passing team. What did those better than average QBs do against Bama All-American Secondary ?

Probably the same QBs the rest of the conference has faced.

Here are some of the stats against SEC QBs that in anyway could be considered average to above average passers since 2010:

Garcia 17/20 201 yards 3 TDs
Newton 13/20 216 yards 3 TDs
Manziel 52/70 717 yards 7 TDs
Murray 18/33 265 yards 1 TDs
Dak 27/48 290 yards 2 TDs
Wallace 35/62 410 yards 3 TDs (Good and Bad Bo)
Marshall 38/59 553 yards 5 TDs

Am I missing anyone ?

Most of these were either close games or losses, so no cheap yardage.
