Their DL is ok but not a strength
Disagree, our DL is very good. Smith, Mathis and Young have become very good interior run defenders and Turner has evolved into an excellent edge setter the last month.
The interior guys aren't great pass rushers (Mathis is solid), but they are very good in the run game. Solid stonewallers and moreso have very good quickness.
We've played one of the best collection of rush offenses in America and our run numbers are still elite.

They are ranked higher than Clemson. Did you watch them against Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, 3 of top 5 offenses in the SEC?
Held #1 SEC offense Ole Miss to less than 300 yards.
Held Mike leach MSU to less than 300 yards
Held Tennessee to 2/13 3rd down conversion and only 10 1st downs all game. Much better defensively vs UT than UGA.
You know UGA has the #3 rush defense in the country, well Alabama is # 4 .
Clemson and UGA are tied with 43 sacks on the year, 4th nationally guess who is # 3 ? Bama that's who. Guess who leads the nation in sacks? Will Anderson.
You should watch more football.
UGA has an elite defense, but not other worldly. Bama is still 2 scores better.

Young isn't much of an upgrade over Hooker despite being a better pro prospect. They're actually pretty on par. Check the stats and the QBR ratings. That said, BAMA has more players on offense and more importantly they don't lack depth and they won't have starting playmakers out.
Something like 35% of Hookers throws are at or behind the LOS and 30% of them are fades to the boundary per the last stats I saw.
He's very good at those things, which makes him a great fit for Tennessee's scheme, but Young's plate is much, much fuller in terms of throws he is forced to make and the fact that he is forced to make them in and out of the pocket and against massive amounts of pressure.

We also had a spotty OL and RB1 out. Too thin. BAMA does not have that issue.
We are down our #1, #2, #3 and #5 running backs, so we're not exactly in a good place there.
And our OL is spotty at the very best.

Similar opponents
UGA gave up 34 points
Bama gave up 107 while playing their starters the entire game.
I don't like transitive but 4 games is telling. Bama is good. The best UGA will see all year but they have a hole. They give up points.

You must have slept through the 2021 season.
Home team matters.
UGA played at tennessee.
Bama got them at home.
Georgia held tennessee to 4.61 yards per play.
Bama at home held tennessee to 6.31 yards per play.
Bama is a solid defense. But to pretend like rankings mean anything is funny (rankings ignore the gaps between teams like ypp and hard stats).

Combine Ole Miss Offense and Clemson Defense…that might work.
Alabama total offense Rank 7 Scoring offense rank 5
Ole Miss total offense Rank 5 Scoring offense rank 18
Alabama total defense rank 7
Clemson total defense rank 9..against a baby soft ACC schedule

And we beat everyone by 30+ points. What's your point ?
Going into the 4th qtr with 0 points against Auburn is not an offensive juggernaut.
Yes Dawgs for life it will be severely disappointing if Georgia doesn't win by 4 or 5 TDs.

The Ole Miss that scored 31 against Vanderbilt. Georgia did that in the first quarter.

That’s Bama’s only hope. They get into a grinder with Georgia, they’ll lose by two touchdowns.
A grinder bodes well for Alabama granted the Alabama defense can slow down Georgia's running game and keep the game close. A think if this is the case, Bama will hit some big plays in the passing game which can be the difference.

Wait. You think Alabama's offense is as good as Ole Miss' offense and their defense is as good as Clemson's defense?
Yes they are...on both...BTW, how did Ole Miss do at Auburn..Oh they lost 31-20.
Alabama's offense and defense rank better than Ole Miss and Clemson in total O and Total D.

At it's best, which it's been for 75% of the year, this is our best defense since 2017.
It's also still inconsistent at times against the pass mostly due to busts at Safety, which led to the A&M game and the 2nd half against Arkansas.
It's the best, most dominate run defense we've had in 5-6 years. That's pretty much been consistent all year
I haven't seen anyone do any kind of in depth study on this, but it seems incredibly hard to pair a stout defense like Bama/LSU 2011 and UGA 2021 with a hell on wheels, explosive play after explosive play offense.
McElroy talked about this on his radio show, that you really have to choose what you're gonna center your team around and the other side of the ball is gonna be downgraded. I'm not sure why it's so, as he didn't go into details. But that's certainly what it looks like.
At the beginning of the spring, we thought we were gonna be more like Bama the last three seasons. Explosive offense averaging 500 plus yards per game, 300 plus passing yards per game with JT throwing it around the field. Defense would be among the best, but not generational. By the time Clemson game rolled around, Muschamp had already told Kirby he thought the front could be the best he's ever seen. Kirby said he didn't really know how good it was until the Clemson game. JT's injury changed the philosophy.
Maybe Spurrier and Bowden's team were dominant on both sides a few years. USC and Carroll early part of this century? 2008 UF? Though offensively they were statistically stronger when their defense sucked the year before. Just hard to have both sides be elite, at least from a statistical standpoint.

Alabama's defense is better than Clemson's?
That's probably a minority take even on an Alabama message board.
Clemson likely has the second best defense in football this season. I'm not saying that because they handled us well. But considering the pressure the offense has put on their shoulders, they've held up extremely well.
They are fourth in the country in defensive yards per play.

Just me spit balling, but I'd guess it might have to do with keeping your defense fresh and at the top of their game.
If you have 2019 LSU's offense going out there and scoring a touchdown every 4-5 plays, then your defense is never going to get adequate time on the sideline to rest, recover, and get some brief coaching adjustments.
No defense can ever outplay exhaustion and the other team at the same time.
The Dawgs are at their best when the defense does their job of limiting their time on the field by getting 3 and outs, while on the other side the offense does its job by allowing the defense to have a chance at resting on the sideline for a good chunk of the game with more methodical drives.

Just go through his post history
He's so desperate to prove he's right and has some sacred knowledge about Georgia vs. Alabama.
Won't see that frickface here on Sunday.

Until ESPN finds a cure for Georgia trotting out three defensive tackles that completely negate Alabama's five offensive linemen ... it's just like every other thing the four letter network says. Total self serving horse shite.
Georgia's front three on defense cancel out Alabama's five linemen. And that's pretty much game over.

What I was thinking, at least generally. Thanks for the clarification.
It says a lot since they are so young. This weekend would not be a good time for them to gell. (Jell?) Whatever. It wouldn't be a good time for all the pieces to fall in place.
