Sunday Hangover: Duke


That was an offensive onslaught: 62 points, the Tide didn't have a third down play in the first half, Ingram gained over 150 yards on nine carries, besides one mistake McElroy had an outstanding game, Julio had over a hundred yards in catches. And so on.

Duke isn't that bad of a team on the offensive side of the ball, but their defense really stinks. I mean it's bad.

And my "I don't know about this defense" theme marches on. The Crimson Tide gave up a touchdown and two field goals; the Duke offense still had too many easy plays, especially in the second quarter. There was a lack of significant pass rush, which concerns me since the next two games pit Alabama the pass-oriented attacks of Arkansas and Florida. We'll see what this defense is made of.
