106 in the country in pass yards allowed.

Bama has, thus far, won every game in blowout fashion. Opponents have been forced to abandon the run game in favor of the pass. This generally results in a defense giving up more yards thru the air. Also Bama has faced a couple of stud receivers and sometimes the other guy makes a great play.

Bama defense is different than the lock down Saban defenses of 2011 and 2015 but I believe that is mostly a result of how the game itself has evolved as opposed to coaching philosophy. They do give up some yards but play great situational defense and create lots of turnovers so it's kinda all in the eye of the beholder.

I am old enough to remember Arkansas when they were in the SWC and they were a perennial contender. They have been very hit or miss in the SEC with a whole lot more miss in recent years. Really since they fired Petrino, which they honestly had no other option after he lied his arse off. I wish they would at least get back to a level of a middle of the road team. As it is they are the SEC bottom feeder.

This Bama team could be elite but that will be determined by how successful they are at playing more disciplined football. Way too many stupid penalties from pre snap to motion. Seems Bama has a TD called back every game. But yeah they are dynamic on offense and play great situational defense and create turnovers. Gonna be a tough out for anyone.

Haven't reached that point yet. I am late 50's

I am no fan of either of these. But I ain't voting for no Democrats.

I'm not sure she thinks I am a POS but my mother has let plenty of people know that I am a disappointment to her. Not really sure why she feels that way other than she is a control freak and little tolerance for those who aren't in lock step with her way of thinking.

Bama, LSU, Georgia for sure are all > than Texas. I would say Florida and Tennessee would be close to their equal. And Oklahoma has been their daddy since way back.

Years ago when Gene Stallings was coaching Alabama, a reporter referred to Bama's next opponent, a mid-major school, as "not a big game". Stallings told him if Bama didn't win it most assuredly would be a big game.
