re: The decline of Bama's defense since 2011

Lambert isn't as good as his stats but I think he's good enough to beat us if we give them short fields to work with and/or our offense isn't productive. Our defense can play lights out, but if the offense doesn't capitalize, then it won't matter. This game comes down to Coker not making any back breaking mistakes and our OL doing enough to establish some running lanes.

IMO, we can't get behind early. Our offense just doesn't have the mojo to play that role again. If we can somehow get some points early, alleviate some pressure, and develop some confidence, we can win.
