re: Saban: Jalen Hurts doing ‘much better job’ as passer in spring

Nobody wants to do that because the defense is tied to Coach Saban, and nobody wants to indirectly criticize a legend (somewhat rightfully so).

Some of you guys seem to ignore the fact that the defense played well for more than 3 quarters of that game, but eventually, when the offense keeps turning the ball back over to a prolific offense, any defense will tire. As previously noted, only 2 offensive series produced more than 5 plays, so Clemon got 99 plays. That is 99, as in 1 less play than a hundred. Also noted was the fact that the defense produced 2 turnovers on Clemson's side of the field, and the offense parlayed that into 3 whole points.

That loss was not the fault of the defense.
