The most stunning stat he mentioned in all that is that BAMA is only +0.5 turnovers per game. I swear it seems like so much more. That defense is always making plays...and special teams.

This is true. Bama's offense can and has turned the ball over, to the point where it almost negates the defense's turnovers. Still the defense scores and it is thing of beauty.

Interestingly enough, we don't have THAT many turnovers from our defense. It's just that we have been able to capitalize on ours WAY more than other teams.

If someone was tracking "points off of turnovers", Alabama would probably be leading that category.

As fast as Alabama's defense takes it away from the other team, Jalen Hurts gives it right back. The only difference is that Alabama scores of their take-aways, the other team doesn't. But Alabama in general and Hurts in particular seem more than happy to give it away.
