Alabama scored so fast, it's hard to believe

Alabama's offensive is scary this season, as is quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. It's not a question of timing. Tagovailoa's first six games, which led to another win over Missouri in Week 7, compare favorably to several other Heisman winners. better six games.

The attack on Alabama is not surprising. What is somewhat surprising is the speed with which the tide kicking in the ass of his opponents There is no slow start for this tide offense. Scoring 30 points in the first half against Mizzou is pretty much everyone considering Tide's "tide" start.

Alabama reliably marks its first training. Here is how fast.

1. Louisville: It took 3:05, and Bama scored the seventh game.

This seven-game, 65-yard drive quickly moved into the end zone to kick off the season.

2. Arkansas State: It took 1h41 and Bama scored in the fifth part of the match.

Five games, 75 meters. Not serious.

3. Ole Miss: It took 59 seconds for Bama's first reader.

Ole Miss got the ball first and scored in his first match. The Rebels kicked off The Tide, who scored his third offensive game.

This came 1:21 into the game altogether.

4. Texas A & M: Bama took eight seconds to play for the first time.

Texas A & M got the ball first and intercepts two games in the game. Bama lost little time charging for the Aggies.

5. UL Lafayette: It took 3:35 and Bama scored in the eighth game.

It was by yards (72), by games, and time has run out to open the longest opening record of the Alabama season. That must count for something for the Ragin 'Cajuns, I suppose.

6. Arkansas: It took 21 seconds and Bama scored in the first game of the match.

And it's even more funny in the still camera angle that ESPN had to use because of extreme weather conditions. (The capture takes place around the 25-meter line.)

7. Missouri: It took 23 seconds and Bama scored in the second half of the match.

81 yards, up to the end zone.

Average all this together:

It's 3.8 pieces and 1:27 by first mark.

A factor that contributes to the effect that this can have on the game is what happens before the kickoff.

When Bama wins the draw, the tide takes the ball almost every time. The Tide won the draw in 5 to 7 games and chose to receive in four of those games. Many teams are late, but Nick Saban likes to take the ball when he can.

"I still want the wind in the fourth quarter if the wind is important in the game," he said. "If you differ, you may not have the opportunity to do it because in the second half, you have to take the ball and they have to choose the direction in which they throw. So, if that is the case, I would prefer to start the game poorly and have a better chance of finishing it with the wind factor in your favor rather than in the other direction. "

So, against the tide, if you postpone or win the draw and choose to receive so far this season, you are guaranteed to start in a 7-0 hole.

But the most important factor is, of course, Tide's (and fast) elite offensive.
