Could Bama's offense score on Nebraska with a true freshman QB?
Yes. It's a different and better era of cfb. Players are bigger faster stronger. Bama would possibly score enough on defense that it wouldn't matter.

By how much? Nebraska, Miami, FSU, were not that much off from today's. The last time this was brought up someone posted 2001 Miami couldn't hang with today's college athlete. So I posted this little tidbit of info.
So I looked at combine results and compared 1999 to 2016 averages. Here's what I found:
40 times(of those who participated)
1999 - 4.82
2016 - 4.80
40 times(of top 100)
1999 - 4.50
2016 - 4.51
bench reps(of those who participated)
1999 - 20.5
2016 - 19.4
bench reps(of the top 100)
1999 - 25.64
2016 - 24.95
Now tell me again how much stronger and faster are today's college athletes compared to 17 years ago?
