During games this season, I continually lamented the four areas where the Tide were an erratic, inconsistent team — and often a fundamentally not even a good one: Corners, special teams, playcalling (and we will have more on that later, promise), and especially on the offensive line.
Without reliving in gruesome detail every nightmare that was the Alabama offensive line in 2021, let me just throw these numbers out for you so that you can grasp some sense of the scale of the disaster we witnessed.
- For just the second time in a decade, and only the 3rd time in Saban’s 15 years, the Tide offense did not hit 5 YPC on the ground.
