Defense

Where did our defense go? First half they played lights out, now they look like a complete different unit.

It's called adjustments. A.K.A "youth and depth" on Volnation.

They are tired and worn down.

Alabama adjusted and we ****ing quit. That's what we do. We quit.

This excuse is starting to get old. They had just came out from half time, being tired is no excuse. Depth had nothing to do with those drives, called poor execution and giving up. Our defense has a heart problem, they leave it in the locker at half time. It is time that we as fans stop hauling the youth excuse and call I for what it is.

No secondary or perimeter speed. Bama has elected to exploit that now.

I think you didn't grasp my post. My answer was "adjustments." However, here on Volnation that's not the case. It's youth and depth. Sorry for the confusion. I will try to do better.

I concur, the excuse of youth/depth is way off. Youth explains how you are blown out the entire game, not how you hang with the number 1 & 2 teams in the nation and completely fall apart after halftime. Our Coaches, to include Dooley do not adjust very well during halftime. And then you throw Simms in to the mix and you have disaster.
