No Touchdown November

Cruiser · Nov 27, 2016

I find the fact that no team has run a play inside our 10 yard line in 4 games possibly the most astonishing stat of all.

I don't care if the four games were against Div 3 schools, that's an amazing stat in this day and age of college football. Color me impressed.

Fantastic, truly. But with modern rules, offenses, and player development, it's unlikely that team could hold their season score to 10x what they did then.

The game has just changed so dramatically.

Think about it - if you put the 2016 Bama D as it stands right now in 1961, would anyone score anything?

The '61 team (like the rightfully heralded 1992 D) is appreciated as it should be - but the modern game is so much more intense it's incomparable.

Wholeheartedly agreed, in its day still phenomenal play. Not even meant to compare with today, we just have such a heritage of defense in our program that is honored by this team.

I wonder when was the last time any team allowed zero touchdowns during the month of November?

Anyone notice this streak started the game right after Eddie got injured? Seems like his injury made the other guys on D pull together and play even stronger. They said they were going to dedicate the remainder of the season to Eddie and they are sure playing like it.

NEXT MAN UP... We loose Eddie and everyone plays lights out.
While I loved the 92 Defense, I think this Defense is better.
Admittedly a different kind of football these days, but this team outshines the great 92 team.

Just saw this:

My favorite play of the game might have been at the 0:51 mark of the video...Pettway is charging straight ahead and Ryan Anderson comes in from the side, stops all his momentum, picks him up, and places him down on the ground like he was a little kid.

In the middle of my working day so unabale to check but didn't the no touchdown run also coincide with the end of our NOT run?

Cruiser · Nov 29, 2016

Heard yet another incredible defensive stat yesterday, there have been 158 possesions by opponents, 75 have been 3 and outs.

Goodness!

Through 12 games, Alabama has only allowed 824 rushing yards. At that rate it would require 15 games to eclipse the 1,000 yard mark for the season...

TAKEPRIDE22 · Nov 29, 2016

WOW...in the redzone only twice...amazing!! Especially in this day of spread offenses.

These numbers are just sic. I thought the 92 defense was one of the best but these stats are pretty amazing.

TAKEPRIDE22 · Nov 29, 2016

Yes, but in the day of spread and hurry up offenses, this years defense is doing an unheard of job!!

We have held the #19th, 32nd and 37th offenses from scoring any touchdowns. We will face #88 this saturday.

After the Auburn game every starter except one in our base, nickel (including the re-alignment after Eddie went down), and dime packages has either intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble or forced a fumble so far this season

Guess who the one is?

Foster - who would have thought that.

Well, he doesn't really have hands in a game - more like clubs.

Don't know about No TD November, but heard last night that the last team to go this long without allowing a TD (17 quarters) was in 2005 and was led by DeMeco Ryans and Roman Harper.

Foster wants the ball in the offense's hands so he can hit em
