They didn't score 48. Auburn's offense scored 34, and their defense score 14, and of course, no team has ever scored more than 34 points against Pruitt's defense, have they?

So again Auburn scored 48 points like I said. Idk what team scored 34points against Pruitt's defenses when he had elite players.

Having Pruitt would have kept Mac Jones from throwing tow pick 6s?

Please elaborate.

Well here it is. PRUITT was a stabilizer; and kept Chaos down; which would have prevented the OC and HC from leaving their already injured Star in the game after being up 28.

I don’t follow closely but it seems the caliber of players at Bama are not what they used to be. That probably has more to do with Kirby and maybe Ed O recruiting at higher levels and less to do with losing Pruitt. However, their defense isn’t what it once was and that may have been impacted by the loss. Bama has looked better as a team because of the elite qbs and wide receivers. Fans get starry eyed over those nice effortless Tua passes and fail to see the big uglies are looking softer. Suits me fine. I’m sick of Bama.

How do you say after a game that the penalty was unfair when you had 12 men on the field. You admit you had 12 but it was unfair that the Refs called it on Bama really strange comment by Saban.

What is your point with all of this in this thread? To make sure the rest of us don’t think Pruitt is really that good? Go pound sand

Is your trust in Pruitt shattered because I stated that his absence was in no way responsible for Alabama's performance in the 2019 Iron Bowl?

Oh ye of so little faith.

I wonder if they are gonna try to come and get him back

I don't know. Seems to me, it would depend on when Saban retires, and what Pruitt accomplished between now and then. All dynasties come to an end...they all have a season. Is this happening now? I don't think we'll know until next season. Not sure we can make that call this year.

I have a short memory, but I can't remember a Bama team regularly giving up so many points.

I was thinking the same thing at first.

But I think most of it comes from their defense playing bad in the biggest games against LSU and Auburn and giving up points in garbage time.

They only gave up 28 points or more 5 times this year.

Average scoring 48 ppg and giving up 18 ppg.

Probably not as dominant as past teams but I'd still take their defense over ours.

He stated they did get enough time to adjust because Auburn put their punter in on 4th down and then removed him and put the offense back in. He may have a valid point. I still enjoy seeing Alabama playoff spot this year come up short. I like to be on their fan forums now.

No, not at all. It’s so you to show up on a thread and puke on any good vibes the fan base is feeling. That’s who you are.

LOL... Refuting a claim that Pruitt's absense was somehow responsible for Alabama's loss is 'puking on your good vibes' as a Vols fan?

Most are excited about the direction of the program, and coupled with Bama’s loss it’s not unreasonable to speculate that Pruitt’s absence has made a difference in Bama’s D. Even Freak pondered it on this thread. But you just keep being you - keeping it real on the Pruitt hate

It's probably just a coincidence but Alabama is strangely an injury prone team. Remember when that was our team?

I'm not sure how much Pruitt's absence did or didn't impact their defense this year. I just don't remember them giving up so many points in big games. But as I admitted, my memory is short. lol.

I'm pretty sure someone recently posted the statistical rankings comparing Alabama since Pruitt left with Tennessee since Pruitt arrived. It was interesting, but I can't seem to find it now.
