There is good news and not so good news, maybe even bad news about current Alabama football stats. An easier than normal schedule should have the Alabama Crimson Tide near the top of most national and conference statistical categories.
Check the stats compiled by the NCAA and you will see the Crimson Tide lags behind in some defensive stats and is even middle-of-the-pack in the SEC. Three games is not a large enough sample size to cause alarm. But the numbers could portend further problems later in the season when the opposition becomes tougher.
A good question is which stats most matter.
