The 2019 #Bama offense was soooo stacked.
And it played like a stacked offense should play. It finished sixth in the nation in total offense and second in the nation in scoring offense. In fact, going into the post season, Alabama was first in the nation in scoring offense (ahead of even LSU). The defense (especially the loss of Dylan Moses in fall practice) is what inevitably doomed us. Middle linebacker is the most important position in a Nick Saban defense and we had a true freshman starting in that position for the entirety of the season.

Wrong.
Tua choked.

That's some pretty skewed data when you consider that Cushenberry, Jefferson, and Carter weren't ranked.
Well considering that’s two EXTREMELY important players it sounds like exceptional evaluation and development

Sounds like poor roster management and recruiting misses.

Roster management was about as good as can be expected considering the recruiting misses in 2017 and 2018.

That interception at the end of the first half likely cost us the game to be sure, but he put up some explosive numbers in the second half. He threw for 418 yards and 4 TDs. So yes...the offense still played how a stacked offense should play, sans the mistakes.

2 of those TDs came on big plays to DeVonta. In the 1st half, the only score by the offense was a 64 yard TD to DeVonta. And the other was an 85 yard TD, the last TD and time Alabama had the ball. Both of them were really mostly DeVonta being wide open.
1 of the passing TDs was to Najee. On the first actual drive that was basically all Najee the entire time. Drive meaning getting multiple first downs and scoring.
Najee would do it again on the next drive and score another TD rushing.
The drive after that is where Tua did a little work. Screwed himself a little to start the drive, but made a couple of nice passes on 3rd and 4th downs and moved the ball well. If he had played like that the entire game, might would have been a different story.
Other than that, for 3 quarters of the game he basically did nothing great, other than the 1 TD pass. Fumbled without being touched, throwing the int before the half without being pressured, on 1st down, with 22 seconds left in the game from his own 26.
Lived and died on explosive plays.

Exactly. CEO and staff maximize talent. I fear for the rest of the NCAA if we close the blue chip gap with Bama, OSU, UGA, etc.

Bama's offense put 41 on LSU. With a defense that was even average by Bama standards, those 41 points wins the game.

A defense even average by LSU's standards doesn't give up two massive touchdown passes like that.

Bama had a great offense, no one is denying that, but it seems more remarkable that LSU's was better/as good with less than half as many starters who were blue chip croots
