You've always trusted the defense more than I, but it's good until it isn't and then Alabama loses. Alabama would be in the playoff now if the defense was up to par the whole time. So I don't trust them either...
1)Well I don’t know what out of this year makes you keep saying that “if the defense” when BoB has been far far far worse than Golding about forcing shootouts and close games. But if that’s your opinion then nothing I say is going to change it so enough of this debate for now because we aren’t changing each other’s opinion on it so…
2) What gives me confidence in our defense vs Georgia is that it’s practically the same matchup as last year minus Barrymore and Harris. Golding called one of his best games and we made Bennett’s life a living hell. Georgia may have improved but it’s still a system that favors us. They don’t run anything complex. So we are likely leaving them anywhere from 20-27 points at most.
The big question is if we can score that much ourselves. We have the potential but we have the worst offensive play caller in the Saban era in the booth who hasn’t proved capable of adjusting in game. I fear that we are going to run right, run center, and play action and be down 10-17 before we finally have someone slap BoB across the head to stop it. Georgia is vulnerable in the secondary and to Mobile quarterbacks. Guess what we have? And guess what O’Brien doesn’t see?
