Just a stats observation

Here is why I don't like to rely on stats very much when dealing with very good or very bad teams: they don't reflect real game time.

The truth is, Alabama has not had to play more than two or three quarters of football this year. A lot of offensive stats have been with 2nd-5th string players. Many of the points scored against Alabama have been late game junk while Bama was showing mercy on offense and using some back ups on defense.

You can say Alabama hasn't played anyone all you want to. The fact is, they have eviscerated everyone so badly and so early, that we haven't got a clue just how much damage they are truly capable of inflicting. All of the team records they are breaking is happening in a half to 3 quarters of football. If Saban was the kind of man to run up scores, it would be gruesome.
