[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 1000375, member: 282"] That’s a common and popular perception. I also think it’s wrong. If you look at Saban’s tenure at Alabama, there was occasionally a team like Ga Southern who would give them more of a game than they should—Bama would beat Mississippi State and Arkansas by four touchdowns, but have a three point lead against a G5 team going into the 4th. And that’s with a defense full of four and five star players that can put-talent a G5 team. Every year, teams with “top 25” talent get pushed to the wire or lose to G5 teams. In contrast, we aren’t in that category of talent loaded teams—especially on defense—that can take anyone lightly. And even the talent loaded teams can’t We don’t have any “five stars” on the team. We have one or two defense who got late round honors (honorable mention or third team) when selecting all conference players—no first-teamers. At this point, we don’t have a defense that will consistently control the game on days when the offense is having a bad day. Until there’s an expectation that our defense will consistently take over games, every team on our schedule is a substantial threat. [/QUOTE]
