Not saying it can't be fixed, but I would think most any rational Bama fan would have been slightly disappointed had they been shown these Defense and Rushing O stats before the season.... anyone that says otherwise is just not being honest.
The defense is basically as expected. We are starting a billion freshman at important positions and last game we basically played base defense for 4 quarters because of it. It's an issue that will only be fixed with time, and if it isn't then we probably won't go where we want to go. However, it isn't unexpected.
The run game has been a concern, but we also know that by far our best run blocking guard returns in Week 5. So if things don't improve after that, it will be a big problem.
On the flip side, Tua is better than he's ever been and has added all the parts to his game that people hoped he would in the offseason. The only outstanding question is health.
So, all in all, still in wait and see mode on most of it.

Arkansas week 1 and week 2 are not going to be the same Arkansas team going forward. We scored 20 points and 17 points in the first 2 weeks, we scored 24 points in the 1st quarter against CSU(finished with 55).
Arkansas will be much improved down the road this season.

Can’t argue with you. We look like last year’s team Part Deux in every phase of the game, which is disappointing since Saban was vocal about wanting to be more physical on both sides of the ball. I would never be so bold as to second-guess His Majesty, but every time in an interview he says, “I really wish we would run the ball more,” I want to scream at the TV, “YOU ARE SARK’S BOSS, JUST TELL HIM TO DO IT.”
That said, we will beat the crap out of every team not named Clemson, Georgia, (maybe) Ohio State, and (very maybe) LSU.

You could say the same about a lot of teams, but do a thought experiment where some version of Fromm/Tua/Burrow go out for the season.
Offhand I'd think Georgia would have the easiest time adjusting, even if it would hurt. And who knows, given how they recruit someone better than Fromm could be on that bench now.
Not sure the other teams could deal with losing their starter as well.
