Alabama continues to look quite vulnerable compared to past seasons.
— the first double-digit home loss of the Saban era for Alabama — in which the Longhorns were clearly the better team on both sides of the ball and easily could’ve put up close to 50 points if not for a few loose possessions in Alabama territory. The Crimson Tide were exposed at quarterback , along the offensive line and in the secondary .
There has been slippage under Saban. In Alabama’s last 19 games against power five opponents, it has lost five times. In the previous 50 games against those opponents, it lost just five times, twice coming in the national championship game. Right now, Alabama isn’t the Alabama we’ve come to expect under Nick Saban. It’s becoming fair to wonder if we’ll see those days again under the legendary coach.
If the first two weeks of the season are an indicator, the SEC may not be the best conference in the country this year. It’s certainly up for debate. The powerhouse conference is 3-6 against power five opponents. Alabama and LSU – the co-SEC West favorites – were outclassed by Texas and Florida State, respectively. Texas A&M was manhandled by ACC also-ran Miami. Florida was doubled up by Utah.
