In Bama’s first three games, Missouri (8-16), Texas A&M (10-17), and Ole Miss (9-17) were all over 50 percent.
Against Georgia, the Tide defense won the third down battles, holding the Bulldogs to 7-16.
In the three most recent games, Alabama has held opponents to a total of only 8 successful third down conversion – Tennessee (4-16), Mississippi State (2-15), and Kentucky (2-13).
Now Bama is at 38.18 percent (48th in the nation, 2nd in the SEC) in third down defense.
Now, correct me if I’m wrong.
