This only tells me that Alabama's defense is a little more prone to giving up a few more points in spurts.
Alabama was leading Ole Miss 48-30 with 3 minutes to play in that game (and 23 of those were offensive points). Ole Miss then got hot, made a bunch of long throws (with Humphrey, Jackson, Foster and Fitzpatrick all out) and scored 13 quick points.
Alabama was leading Arkansas 42-17 with 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. A combo of 1st and 2nd team defenders got complacent and started getting beat. Arkansas kept their 1st team in the whole game (including while down 49-24 with 4 minutes left) and scored a few late TDs.
This isn't to say those stats don't count, but there is a little of bit of context there. Alabama has a tendency to take leads and then give up yards and points. We've done more than a few times in the last few years.
