He missed open receivers down field and made bad decisions at times. Bama has had two great running backs but no QBs/playmakers like you see on most championship teams. Florida (Tebow), Auburn (Cam Newton), Florida State (Jameis Winston) and many others from history pushed their team to win. Bama has managed to win because of coaching and how the team plays together. Defensively we seem to reload each year pretty well but we have struggled with our offense (except for the years we had AJ). I really hope a lot of work is dedicated to the offense moving forward.

it was about defensive depth this year for you guys. You can destroy teams in low scoring low possession type games. But when Clemson and Ole Miss runs 90 plays a game, your lack of depth is going to show. Really, no different for every team out there. The key is whether your 2's and 3's are as good as 1's. Some positions, it doesn't require much more development for 2's and 3's to perform in place of 1's, but for DBs, there's a huge gap between 2's and 3's vs 1's on any college team.
