Taking off Crimson Glasses tonight&reflecting back on our season! whats your thought
First off I don't have that many post on here because I don't have a lot of time to be able to sit down and write an article due to work but, with a day off and time to think about our season I wanted to give my 2 cents on our season without sugar coating everything from a Crimson Shade of Glasses I always wear.
I know a lot of you are going to write that I am spoiled fan due to our recent success and part of that is true because we did win 11 games this year but, lets break it down in a non bias look from the outside. This was the easy schedule we have ever had compared to the championship seasons. We did not play a team a top 10 team realistically the whole season until the iron bowl. A&M was at the time of the game just to hype the game for better ratings but their D was one of the top 10 worst in the country and they almost beat us with 2 players! Coach Saban is without a doubt one of the greatest recruiters/coaches/development of talent ever in college football. But, this year the development part was left out. Some due to players and some due to the coaching staff. I am going to break it down it sections to prove my point.
First our defense as bad as its ever been under Saban and comparable to D's before CNS. They say numbers never lie, but no case ever have numbers lied more than our defense stats this yr. We were in the top 5 in so many categories defensively and didn't belong in the top 20. We were a top 5 scoring defense the entire yr and could not stop no one unless they played exactly into our hands. The only 2 defensive performances the entire yr was against a #21 Ole Miss & #13 Lswho. Other than that take a look at our schedule and the scoring offenses the 11 wins came from. Besides Johnny fball who put up 42. Our statistics came from these 8 powerhouses.
