I realize we have a generational player in Tua. I am completely amazed at his amazing throwing accuracy (which will make him millions in just a few months if he stays healthy). I also realize that we'll have a drop off next year and, if we are being completely honest, we may never see another QB at Bama like this again.
Having offered that caveat, are we seeing a change in football here at Bama and really in college football in general??? There is no question that with the new safety rules that benefit the offense it is making the passing game easier because defenses can't hit QBs or WRs the way they used to be able to.
Add to the fact that "basketball on grass" seems to be the direction of HS offenses and many offenses in college like the Big 12 schools. And then the most conservative offense in the country revolutionizes their offense and immediately it looks like they don't have a running game or defense and it just seems to fit the general direction that an old school offense that features a dominant OL that controls the game with "3 yards and a cloud of dust" is "going the way of the dodo."
The recent discussion about our inability to run block because we pass block so much seems to fit this narrative as well.
Is the mighty SEC that prides itself in defense going to become like the Big 12 eventually?
