Yes to 2014. I was going to say 1989 until I saw the references to 2014.
Nick Marshall threw for over 400 yards on that defense in BDS... Sims, Cooper, and Kiffin saved Kirby’s butt that game.I can't say 2014. I'm reminded of a few things from that year. I don't know if it ever has been. Just my opinion though.
Yeah, I deleted it. I got my years mixed up. I would say 2014.Nick Marshall threw for over 400 yards on that defense in BDS... Sims, Cooper, and Kiffin saved Kirby’s butt that game.
Yes LSU and Arkansas were exceptions to the rule of that year, but we probably are a 9-10 win team without the offense playing at a high level that year.
Yep. I was a student then and it was miserable times.1969 such that it was
Conversationally that question may interest some, but it is pretty clear that this team is not like any of those previously mentioned.I think 1989. Now, here comes the next question. How many of these years that people are mentioning did we win a title?
Yes, this team is very, very talented and very well coached. However, it is difficult for some of us not to worry about the defense because when you grow up a Bama fan you learn that defense wins championships. We are in unfamiliar territory. Personally, I am enjoying watching this offense execute, but I would also like to see the defense smother some folks because I certainly do not want to see a game come down to needing a field goal. Is this being a bit greedy? Yes. What can I say? I'm a Bama fan.Conversationally that question may interest some, but it is pretty clear that this team is not like any of those previously mentioned.
Did you see the stat that showed that this Alabama team is only allowing 0.9 points per possession before the game enters garbage time? That is the best in college football. Your second team has been giving up a lot of points, and your first team seems to relax a bit when the game gets out of hand. So that represents a difference from previous teams. But the stats show that this Alabama defense is among the best in the country when it needs to play well.Yes, this team is very, very talented and very well coached.

No. But the offense lost a key play maker in Drake. 2014 defense is a lot like this year and 2010 defense in that they were very talented but very inexperienced. Plus I think by 2014 Kirby was not what he was from 09-12.Wasn't 2014 an injury riddled season on the defensive side of the ball?
