You must not be watching the same 5 years as me. I can only remember 2 games against Bama in the last TEN years in which our team was outclassed and never had a chance. 2013 and 2015 at Bama.
However, it is concerning that those two contests are pretty recent.
And yes I'm intentionally omitting 1/9/12. Bama did not pull away until very late in the 4th quarter, and one break could have swung momentum in our favor. Plus, we defeated them earlier that season.

2011: Yes and no Beat them @Bama and then got our arse kicked in the NC
2012: Yes. Had the lead in the final minute and blew it
2013: No. They kicked our arse
2014: Yes. We had them beat, and once again our defense blew it in the last minute with some help from the officials
2015: No. They kicked our arse
So yes, we have been able to match them in the trenches in the last 5 years. Just not consistently.

ABSOLUTE BS. First off, 2011 season is within the last 5 years. Second, we were at least equal in ALL of the games aside from last year. Bama arguably had one of the best, deepest, and most experienced front 7's of all times last year, and THAT is what made the difference.
in 2012 we absolutely manhandled Bama in Tiger Stadium. they had exactly ONE decent scoring drive. the other 2 were 2-minute drill drives before each half.

2 out of the last 4 matchups Alabama has had to score late to either win or put the game in OT. One was a gift personal foul call by the official when we could have run out the clock...so yes we can compete!
