After his team crushed yet another opponent – or, more accurately – helpless victim, Alabama head coach Nick Saban requested/demanded the media to start reporting on the Crimson Tide’s flaws.
The Tide didn’t give critics much to work with after overwhelming Texas A&M 45-23. Well, they failed to score 50 points, so there’s that. They probably wouldn’t finish higher than third in the NFC East.
For the rest of college football, the flaws are starting to get exposed. In Auburn’s case, it’s more confirmation of fears rather than exposure. We’ve suspected that the running game – with a rebuilt offensive line and the loss of Kerryon Johnson – would struggle.
