They seemed to have figured out the cast at CB. That was the biggest weakness. They are still the weakest at that position since 2007.

See this is the stuff that makes you such a hard person to reason with. If it's an Alabama player and he gets hurt then he's a big pussy who can't stay on the field. This is the stuff that makes an argument with you like pulling teeth. If we have big LB's...they're all fat and slow. Like I said same shite different day with you.

Yep It's by far our weakest unit on D. They're improving though...our safeties are pretty good fwiw!

Sunseri was their best DB and he's out for the year. Odell and Jarvis are licking their chops.

not staying on the filed part was an obvious jab.

the scheduling part is not.

The schedule BAMA has played is downright embarassing and it's humorous they way the SECr and that silly little BAMA board doesn't seem to think it gives BAMA a false leg to stand on.

All about sample size. Everyone throws stats out there that BAMA has been DOMINATING teams for the last month. As if it's a train that can't be stopped. If I were wrestling with a teddy bear, I wouldn't be stopped either.

Why can't you think Alabama has improved at all? Why does it have to be who we've played? I understand LSU has regressed but why doesn't Alabama get better?

What do you mean Bama won't admit it? We all realize our schedule is rather weak. Look at the top 3...who's played a tough schedule out of those? Don't even say FSU because Miami has been trying to lose a game for weeks. Clemson was obviously pretenders as well. Besides those two games tell me who else they paly that's worth a damn? Oregon is finally about to play a tough team. LSU's schedule isn't hard either...



I agree. LSU schedule isn't as tough as once thought. The main difference between FSU, Bama, etc and LSU is the level of coaching. LSU coaching is average at best.

Really?!? Until he was injured, all we heard was that he was the weak link?

and....ummmm.... his replacement is a guy named Landon Collins.

So you think that Georgia St., Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are all efficient indicators to tell if Alabama has improved?

you play the schedule that you are handed... 80% of which is identical to what LSU plays, since we are in the same division.

LSU's most impressive win so far has been Auburn.
Alabama's most impressive win so far has been aTm... or maybe Ole Miss, since we did SHUT THEM OUT

So complain about our schedule as much as you want... but it isn't like we are squeaking by... we have third string in by the 4th quarter with CNS yelling at the student section... "Are you not entertained!!!"

It's always funny whenever I say that Alabama has played no one to tell us they should be without a doubt #1, they bring up LSU's schedule as if that's the focus of the conversation.

Both top 10 wins with FSU being their only loss.
FSU is the best team in the country. Rationalize their schedule all you want but Bama would be a dog vs FSU on a neutral field.

By that logic it could mean that LSU is prime to gain 500+ yards vs. Alabama, right?

How so? You've played one top 15 team (at home) and won. Bama has played one top 15 team (on road) and won. UGA is a 3 loss team. UF is a 4 loss team. I assure you Bama would not have lost to either of those teams, so them not being on Bama's schedule means nothing.

Bama played a top 15 Va Tech team and won by 25. They beat Ole Miss by 25.

This constant narrative about Bama's schedule compared to LSU's perhaps had a modicum of validity before the season started. Now that the season has played out we see that UF and UGA are not particularly impressive teams.

Who has LSU beaten that is an impressive win outside of the home win against AU? That win isn't any more impressive than the road win Bama has against A&M. The schedule argument isn't valid. Losing to Ole Miss helped make it invalid, but so too has the lackluster seasons by UF & UGA.
