Always a confident lot, Alabama football fans are awed by the Crimson Tide offense. Comparing a current season to historical numbers can be a tad confusing. College football seasons now include more games than the historical average. Defining a season’s trend probably needs a sample of at least six games.
Three games into the 2018 season, game average comparisons begin to have some value. Could the 2018 Crimson Tide offense set team records? The early indication is yes. Stiffer defenses are coming during the season and a Tua injury could change the trajectory.
Nick Saban would call such conjecture nothing more than rat poison.
