There is this expectation of Alabama throwing up 500 yards per game, most of that in the air, and 60 points

Not sure about Shavers, since he's a young'un.

Over the summer and fall I've probably heard Shavers name mentioned about as many times as Jeudy. I won't be surprised if we see them get 300+ and five touchdowns on the season out of him. I know they're looking at him as a "get up and get it" type of guy in the end zone.

60 points isn't realistic--there's potential to put up that many but it hasn't been Bama's style under Saban.

Averaging 500 on offense isn't unrealistic. The team(s) has hovered around the 450 mark under Saban. In '14 I recall the number being around 485

Two games in and they're averaging about 560 yards per game, 54 points per game.

Thanks, I was wondering where SGT was at?

Get back to me in November with those stats...

First 2 games pretty much as expected... Obviously production should go down vs better defenses, but the way Tua is able to use all of the weapons is extremely hard to defend

After seeing the stats Southern Illinois put up on the Land Sharts, I doubt the numbers drop anytime soon!

CONSECUTIVE 50+ POINT GAMES TO START THE SEASON: Today's 57-7 win over Arkansas State coupled with last week's 51-14 victory over Louisville marks the first time since 1925 that Alabama has scored 50 or more points in the first two games of a season

I came close in posted this too! What happen in 1925? First time a Southern team was invited to the Rose Bowl! "The Game That Changed The South!

Been longer than 1925 since we gave up 50 on D in a regulation game

Gave up 51 to Tennessee in 2003 but that was a several overtime game. I dont believe Alabama has ever given up 50 in a regulation game.

It has; over 100 years ago, twice.

78 by Vandy one time...Sewanee had the other.
