Speaking of defensive touchdowns/interceptions/etc.

[Harry Truax III.nafoom]

Why is it that no one is calling Alabama a fluke/flash in the pan/etc. that they pinned on us last year? I mean, seriously, they play the same type game we did
last year. Run the ball, don't be stupid, tough swarming defense with a stout line. Defense has won them numerous games this season and at the very least,
gave them big advantages.

And before anybody cries "They're 11-0 we were just lucky to get to 8!!!!", that's ********, because I'm completely acknowledging that
they have better players and a better overall coach that accounts for the 3-4 extra wins (in a down SEC year no less).

Most I've seen anyone say is that they are a little overrated and the Florida's/Tech's of the world would kill them. I agree, but the point is
still valid. Why were we a fluke but Alabama's just good?

Their offense is solid. They have bad games Tulane/MSU/KY, but for the most part they have been good all season. They have scored over 28 points 7 times this season and have held opponents to 10 or under 6 times.

They are just really balanced. Most commentators though are already predicting Florida to beat them in Atl, and I would expect them to be a 7 point underdog.

In games against Clemson, Tennessee, UGA, and Arkansas, they just kicked the crap out of those teams. Now they may not be any good, but they still kicked the crap out of them.

I think simply saying their defense has won them numerous games this season, is a bit off, their offense has been solid most of the season.

and 5th in total offense. I don't think they really compare to us last year...in any way.

I'm drawing a blank here ....

In the back of my mind, I'm recalling that they have something ... something ... that we don't have. It's on the tip of my tongue.
