Bama can't run the ball, does not win on the LOS on either side of the ball, does not pressure the QB enough, too many 3 DL looks, offense is finesse due to lack of a running game. Simpson is good but they have to rely on him way too much almost exclusively.
Those are not elements of a football team appreciated by Bama fans. DeBoar will be gone by year 5 not having won anything of significance.
I only hope their team looks the same next Oct. when we go to Tuscaloosa.
Next year will be one more season post-Saban. That toughness and physicality they had under Nick is not there like it used to be. Not to mention the mindset and standards he instilled in that program. They are still a good team, but not the scary, seemingly unbeatable, force they were under Saban.
