The D is relatively inexperienced and made some mistakes but they tightened when they needed to. With a true freshman QB at the helm JoePa won't throw the whole playbook at Bama next week so I wouldn't worry about the D too much. As I said before, you guys have plenty of talent on the D, it is just a matter of getting them the snaps to get used to running Saban's system in a game situation.

The offense looked as good as advertisted. If Julio can play like he did as a freshman your offense takes on a new dimension. You can legitimately go three deep at running back. I had heard some murmering about Lacy being fumble-prone. I saw one fumble (don't know if there was another?) but those things are too hard to predict. Some kids recover from it, some don't. Richardson looked solid so that will give Ingram time to work his way back into the lineup when he comes back.

All and all I'd say Bama looked pretty good today. The defensive "struggles" from the other thread were a bit overblown, in my opinion. SJSU had a few big plays that accounted for a chunk of their yardage. The D will mature
 
I'd have to agree. Lacy did have that one fumble, but I'd have to credit that to the player who just happened to hit the exact spot he needed to to make the ball pop loose. Reminded me a lot of the Tennessee fumble near the end of the game in '05. He seemed to recover and had some pretty impressive runs after that.

It was simply a frosh mistake...bad cut, bad read, and a good hit by their D...
