#6 The Tide Has the Most NOTS

NOTS or Non-offensive touchdowns; Alabama has 15. More impressive is 11 of those touchdowns have been scored by the defense. Alabama transitions from attacking an offense to becoming an offense quicker than any team in college football.

This season eight Alabama defenders have scored a touchdown after a turnover. Opponent fumbles and interceptions are more than just turnovers for Alabama. After an interception, the Tide immediately establishes blocking lanes. The secondary players know if they can get reach those lanes they can score. Against a QB with a career propensity to throw the ball to the other team, Alabama has another advantage.
