I wouldnt call bamas defense the worst in the sec.
The offense put up a ton of yards, but only 17 points. Being unable to get the ball into the end zone is a chronic offensive problem and it definitely reared it's head again. We started to score a lot more around around the time we started playing Arkansas, and Moo State, and Ole Miss. Not a coincidence.
Anyway, the defense certainly had problems defending the pass at the end of the year, but that isn't a chronic problem. We haven't had abysmal pass defense for 5 straight years. I expect it to be corrected because our defensive problems generally get corrected quickly. It it's a problem again next year, then I will worry.
But the offense has been average-to-bad for 5 years straight. Yes, even last year was merely average offensive production, it was just coupled with absolutely lights out defense and special teams play. That is a chronic problem that should have been addressed a few times over, and just hasn't been.
I'm willing to overlook a few bad defensive games at the end of the year, but not 5 years of mostly really poor offensive performance.

Meh, it wasnt last year. Yes defense helped out with short field, but at least with JJ and lee we were better in the redzone last year. IMO both these guys improved over the course of their career. just only minimal. Ad the biggest thing they both improved on was ball security. Even though they both had their ups and owns vs bama. Who was slated as one of the best defenses ever.

No but they have a pension for giving up some big plays that cost us in 09 10 and 12.

But it hasnt been mostly. in fact the running game has been quite good and one of the best in the country. Its not the entire offense. But our rushing stats dropped this year and thats a direct result of throwing the ball more.
Pass the ball more, get off the field quicker, defense playing a lot more. Something will always have to give.
Also i say this again, 2002 was worse than 09 and 10 in offensive production. 04 was worse than 2010. you have 2 diff ocs two diff hcs and the same problem. poor Qb play.
This isnt only a Les Miles problem.
