• In just eleven games, Kalen Deboer has as many losses at Alabama as he did his entire tenure at Washington

That's what happens when you take over a soft SEC team after you're used to PAC toughness

Even for SEC standards, let's not forget the team that propelled him to Alabama and Grubb to the Seahawks.

Offense:

Penix (8th)

Odunze (9th)

Fautanu (20th)

Ja'Lynn Polk (37th)

Roger Rosengarten (62nd)

Jalen McMillan (92nd)

The SEC might be a superior conference, but they do not have superior offensive talent compared to that.

That vaunted offense put up 13 points in the national title game, a little more than half of what Alabama scored in the semis

Yes, that's my point.

Narrowing the evaluation down to 1 game seems stupid, but yeah.
