If only there was a Defensive Coordinator out there who seemed to have figured out how to slow down and disrupt the HUNH offense... and we played against him last year, and he trots out a new young aggressive defense with a gutted D-line and runs 3 safeties and brings pressure and continues to have success.

A lot of excuses going on in this thread and no accountability. Not hearing any excuses out of Venebles. We've had injuries but we have comparable or better talent to Clemson and watch what they do to Carolina this year and watch what the Aggies do to us.


I knew somebody would take the bait!

Team A:

443 yards
23 first downs
73 total plays
2 sacks
7 TFL
2 turnovers
16 points allowed

Team B:
459 yards
31 first downs
86 plays
3 sacks
7 TFL
2 turnovers
23 points allowed


Team A - Clemson's defense against us in the National Championship Game. Total master class!

Team B - Alabama's defense against South Carolina on Saturday. Total disaster!

What did these remarkably similar outputs have in common? Venebles kept everything in front of him between the 20s and gave up the dinks and dunks to later stop us in the red zone. Sound familiar?

Did you just compare Clemson's performance against the #2 offense last year(barely #2) to a team coached by Muschamp which doesn't even have a top25 offense?



Do you really not see a huge difference between Alabama's offense and South Carolina's?

Totally different levels of competition in this comparison... one was a 14-0 team with its starting QB (a Heisman Trophy finalist, BTW), the other a 1-1 team playing a TF backup QB.
