A couple series don't define a season. Alabama has scored 37+ppg in the two seasons under Nussmeier. Alabama was 5th in the country in yards per play the past two seasons. Alabama's offense is not the reason they lost to Oklahoma and Auburn. You can't expect to win when the other team is scoring 45 points.

 

A blogger at SB Nation summed it up pretty good:

"Many of the same people that were screaming about Nussmeier being too aggressive during the latter stages of last year’s Texas A&M game and the early stages of last year’s SEC Championship Game, were chastising him for being too conservative against Auburn. The phrase ‘RUN THE DANG BALL’ has a special place in the hearts of most Alabama fans, unless they do run the ball and it doesn’t work, in which case that phrase is quickly replaced by ‘I TOLD YOU THEY SHOULD’VE THROWN IT MORE’. My point is that, with fans, offensive coordinators usually can’t win. If the play worked it tends to be about how well the players executed. If the play failed it tends to be about how that wasn’t the right play call for that situation."
