The 2021 Alabama Crimson Tide featured perhaps as many high profile flops on the sidelines as any of the Saban era. And they were legion; take your pick of:
- Doug Marrone’s historic failures with the offensive line
It 104 tackles for loss would be the 3rd worst in the nation, outpaced only by Southern Miss and Kent State. It was an offensive line that played soft, played undisciplined, drew too many penalties, could not find continuity, could not stay healthy, and would repeatedly fail to open holes in the running game, as Alabama fielded its second worst rushing attack of the last 15 years.
