Mettenberger 2012 prior to BAMA:
112-198 56.6%
1419 yards
7 TDs-4 int
7.2 yards/attempt

Burrow 2018 prior to BAMA:
120-223 53.8%
1544 yards
6 TDs-3 int
6.9 yards/attempt (nice)

Stats are strikingly similar through the first game 8 games for these 2. Another note, both lost to Florida on the road; both in their first year as a starter; both were transfers. Can Burrow have his best game by far as a tiger against BAMA? Mett sure did.

Mett vs. BAMA 2012:
24-35 69% (nice)
298 yards
1 TD-0int

The difference could be Burrow's legs:
2012 Mettenberger rushed for -208 yards and -22 against BAMA
2018 Burrow has rushed for POSITIVE 250 yards and 4 TDs

TIGERS WIN THIS ONE 33-31

You forgot the biggest factor. Both of those games are on November 3rd.

Wasn't that the first time we rolled Mett out of the pocket to give him more time? The big difference is that Mett's receivers were more dependable.

This is a solid OP


Could definitely see Burrow blowing up like a Mett did six years ago to the day.

It seems like the last time I saw Alabama just be totally helpless
