Nick Saban turned Alabama into a tough show with an intimidating defense, but Crimson Tide’s head coach admits that the way to win in 2020 is the offense.
Speaking to ESPN’s Chris Low, Saban explained why “a defense no longer trumps an offensive” in school football:
“It’s like last week. Georgia has a defense as smart as the offense, and we scored 41 problems on them [in a 41-24 win in Alabama]. It’s not like that before. It was if you had a smart defense, the others weren’t going to score. You were going to be in the game. I’m telling you. It’s not like that anymore.
[…]
“I don’t like it. But we just have to make sure we have an offensive this way and that explosive one, which we have. “
Comments come at a time when Alabama’s defense has had a difficult start in 2020. La unit has dropped at least 414 yards in its last three games and is averaging 28. 8 points in 4 games. of 22 problems consistent with the game in a season since Saban took office in 2007.
Despite one’s problems, Alabama is 4-0 because the offense is a moment in the country with 48. 5 problems consistent with the game. Quarterback Mac Jones had 1,518 yards and 12 touchdowns with a final touch consistent with a percentage of 78. 3.
Saban’s team has the ability to defend to destroy rival teams. That organization beat Georgia last week, excluding the Bulldogs in the part of the moment after yielding 24 issues in the first two quarters.
Jones, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle and Najee Harris are so Alabama doesn’t want an elite defenseman to compete for a national championship in 2020.
