Ridley and Stewart each surpassed 50 receptions for the 2nd straight year. Last year they became the 1st WR/WR, WR/TE, or WR/RB tandem in Tide history to ever accomplish the feat.

The Tide's 40.5 scoring per game average is 1st in the Saban era.

The Tide's 471.3 ypg average on offense ranks 2nd(2014 484.5) in the Saban era.

The Tide's 63.38 rushing yards allowed ranks 1st in the Saban era.

The Tide's 247.8 total ypg allowed ranks 3rd behind 2011-183.5ypg and 2009-245.4ypg.

The Tide's 3 rushing TD's allowed ties them with 2011 Bama for fewest allowed.

This is the 1st year a Saban led team has had 3 RB's rush for more than 500 yards. Harris needs 17yds to hit 1000.

Add Jalen and it's a 1st for 4 players to rush for over 500 yards. Jalen is 159yds shy of 1000.

Lane Kiffin is a pretty good OC.

Everyone on the Bama D > Jabrittle Peppers.

1978 Alabama with Tony Nathan, Major Ogilvie and Billy Jackson is the only other Tide team to have 3 RB's with at least 500 rushing yards. 2016 Bama is the only team to have 4 players with 500 or more yards.

Sounds like Cornwell is leaving too. Does this mean Ardarius Stewart is our backup in the playoffs??

From what I've gathered from Twitter and AL.com comments and the like, both (especially Cornwell) are staying til after the Playoffs. We should be good as long as that's the case.

It's odd that everyone assumed they were transferring right away.

Idk if any of yall have been watching the Under Armour practices but Alex Leatherwood and Jerry Jeudy have been very impressive. I think Leatherwood will come in and win the RT job in the spring and start next year. I think Jeudy will start too.

Probably, I'm sure Jonah will get moved over to LT.

I didn't see a single WR bubble screen or jet sweep last night. I think it was by design and Saban wanted to play the whole game close to the vest. Not really sure why we went away from that strategy. It worked well this season making opposing defenses run sideline to sideline in the 1st half, setting them up to pound them between the tackles in the 2nd half. It's one reason I'm not drinking the orange koolaid everyone else is drinking concerning our offense last night.Thoughts?
