re: I hope the players see all the "the Tide has turned in the SEC" nonsense from the pundits

Yea, and we were "turning back into Alabama again" after the Clemson game too. Instead we average the most penalties I can remember an Alabama team averaging since the Shula era.

We're a good team. We're not a great team. It is what it is.

Coaching turnover combined with poor replacement hires and a frick ton of recruiting misses on the defensive front 7 have finally caught up with us. Hopefully all the young guys playing so much this year will benefit us in the future, but on the flip side of that none of those young guys really played better than you'd expect a freshman to play. They played OK, for freshmen, when in the past we've had young guys just play well in general.
