Football enthusiasts from Alabama are well aware that two team records are more important than any other record. SEC and national championships make up those records. The Alabama Crimson Tide cannot break any major records in 2024 because they own the SEC championship record and the college football record for the most national titles. 
In 2024, there will probably be several records broken in Alabama football. There is too much talent on the 2024 roster to break any records. The team records for scoring defense won’t be beaten. It is hard to say whether or not offensive team records will be broken. In Tuscaloosa, a new offensive age has begun. The offensive acumen of Kalen DeBoer is highly regarded. With a squad that is more talented than any team he has ever coached, who is to say that DeBoer’s offense won’t set records?
Score records for teams might be deceptive. In 2012 and 2013, for instance, the Baylor Bears averaged 44.5 points and 52.4 points per game, respectively. 2012 saw Baylor defeat West Virginia with a score of 63 points. Even though the Bears scored 50 points against Texas that season, they still lost. The goal is to prevail in difficult games; even elite attacks require strong defenses.
Eight of the ten National Champions from the Playoff Era had a scoring defense ranked no lower than 13 in the FBS. Five of the seven had No. 1 ranked scoring defenses, while seven of the eight had scoring defenses ranked No. 5 or above. The two standout defenses from the winners were LSU, which was ranked No. 31 in 2019, and Ohio State, which was ranked No. 26 in 2014.
The Alabama Crimson Tide’s scoring defenses were ranked No. 2 in 2009, No. 1 in 2011, No. 1 in 2012, No. 2 in 2015, No. 1 in 2017, and No. 13 in 2020, taking into account their 2009 National Championship and their 2020 one.
The Alabama Crimson Tide defense from 2011 gave up just 8.2 points per contest. Thirteen points in a single season set an all-time record in 1930. That is the total number of points scored that season against the Alabama defense; it is not an average. In two victories over Alabama, the Tennessee Vols scored six points and Vanderbilt seven. Alabama shut out all the other games, including the Rose Bowl match. Football in the 1930s and football in the 21st century are not comparable.
In 2011, the Alabama Crimson Tide defense allowed only 8.2 points per game. In 1930, 13 points in a single season created an all-time record.

The No. 1 defense in the country was unable to stop the nation’s No. 13 offense, which is why Michigan defeated Washington. additionally due to Michigan’s power-rushing attack being too much for Washington’s No. 56 defense to handle. After Alabama stopped the Michigan Wolverines to 130 rushing yards in the Rose Bowl, Michigan rushed for 303 yards against the Huskies.
