I love Alabama football but the Tide is at a low right now. Coming off the heels of a 10-2 season, hopes were high. But really, last year wasn't all that impressive. Bama had a stellar defense that kept them in games and the offense just produced enough to win. The same story has continued this year, except our defense is now good, but not stellar. Ironically, the offense produces lots of yards, they just can't score. We have the highest number of red zone appearances in the SEC and the lowest TD percentage. You just can't win in the SEC with that.
The difference between good and bad is making plays, and we just can't do it when it counts. Consider this, the only 2 SEC wins came against Vandy (by a field goal) and Ole Miss (in OT!). Wow, how far we've come. I'd like to think next year will be better, and it could. The schedule turns in our favor with road trips to FSU, Ole Miss, Miss State and Auburn (we tend to be better there?). We have the big ones at home, UT, Georgia, LSU and Arkansas at home. I have very little confidence that a lot is going to change in a year though.
