The Crimson Tide has outscored its opponents 45-8 in five final quarters so far this season, but that statistic only begins to tell the story of how Alabama has beaten down and demoralized its opposition. Consider that UA has only thrown six passes in the fourth quarter, that it is averaging more than 10 yards per carry, that opponents have completed just 38 percent of their pass attempts, turned the ball over four times and average less than 2.5 yards on the ground.
Factor in the fact that Florida, trailing by three touchdowns the first time it took possession in the final period, attempted just one pass; and that Arkansas waved the white flag by lifting its starting quarterback with more than 10 minutes to go.
Oh, and don't forget that Alabama has exerted this fourth-quarter dominance with head coach Nick Saban more interested in running out the clock than adding any more points - and that much of it has been accomplished with backups on the field after the starters have left the games.
