People keep saying we had a ton of 2's and 3's in but that's just straight BS. Our run defense is brutal right now plain and simple from starters on down. The d line can't get off blocks to make tackles, linebackers are nonexistent, and secondary takes bad angles. To say different is just a lie. Other than that however I think our team is extremely good. Can we improve? Absolutely. But we better or we're gonna have to score 7 touchdowns a game and that's just not gonna happen every time. I'm not trying to be negative it's just the honest truth. And remember it was UAB not an SEC squad.

I agree with you. I saw them constantly gashed right up the middle and then pretty inept around the ends. This should not have happened with UAB, and Gurley Man looms like a spectre.

Maybe it just is what it is.

I still think that the causes for the 2Q defensive showing was multifactorial, but what if it is just a lower caliber of D than we've been accustomed to seeing? So what?

We lost a lot of starters so this would be expected. This team still has the goods to make a NC run, so just enjoy the ride. It's quite possible that there is absolutely nothing that can be done about the D anyway so what good is worrying about it?
