Well hard to argue those stats... that said they lost their center and in the one game without him they scored their lowest point total of the season.

Provided we have our depth I like our group just as much.

I think that had less to do with the center being out, more related to going on cruise control once they had a 14 point lead.

Oh give me a break... 14 points is nothing in football.

I highly doubt they just packed everything in at 21 to 7 considering how it was 14 to 7 just moments before hand.

Either way losing a very good center is not ideal.

Have elite wide receivers become the key to winning a national title?

To be so successful for so long in the volatile market that is college football, you must be willing to adapt. The sport has changed drastically over the years, especially in the last decade. Gone are the days of ‘three yards and a cloud of dust’ football, as passing offenses have become more prolific than ever. The old adage used to be that defense wins championships, but as Saban himself admitted back in October, that is simply no longer the case.

“It used to be that good defense beats good offense. Good defense doesn’t beat good offense anymore,” Saban said. “It’s just like last week. Georgia has as good a defense as we do an offense, and we scored 41 points on them [in a 41-24 Alabama win]. That’s not the way it used to be. It used to be if you had a good defense, other people weren’t going to score. You were always going to be in the game. I’m telling you. It ain’t that way anymore.”

We are still practicing today according to Letterman row so I guess on pace to play. Not going to be great though if we are down multiple defensive starters.

Smh... If theres more positives after this we better push it back.
