Me and a friend of mine got into an argument over this. Between the 2, who fielded the better defenses? Who would you take? Just curious on what the rant's take on this is.

Wrecking Crew but I'm biased

Probably Saban seeing as how he won a few national titles.

Wrecking Crew? All Aggies Agree the Big 12 is a shitty, weak conference right? So how could they brag about any former success in that shithole conference?

This is the scores of a Heisman Trophy winning QB in his senior year. Want to guess which one was vs the Wrecking Crew? (It's the 13 fyi)
The following year's Heisman winner
30, 28, 50, 62, 16, 52, 55, 54, 45, 45, 45, 28, 14
Want to guess the Wrecking Crew? Yep, it's the 14.
There has pretty much always been an Oregon. Elite defense did and still does beat them.

Everyone here is going to say Bama (take the LSU fan above who doesn't even know what conference the WC played in as an example of why) but it's probably closer than people think. There was a shite ton of defensive talent on those squads

Insert "not sure if serious" meme.

I've honesty never heard of aTm being famous for much of anything sports related.

I'll take whichever crew has produced more good defensive NFL players.

1991 Texas A&M - 201 YPG 12.8 PPG
2011 Alabama - 189 YPG 8.2 PPG
That's as close as it gets.

That 1991 Aggie "wrecking crew" gave up 35 to TULSA. That also may be one of the most pathetic schedules ever created....

The two best defenses in the last 10 years of cfb both were fielded in 2011......
The 2011 LSU D faced 3 conference champions , 9 bowl teams and still managed to rank in the top 5 of cfb in all major categories.

I am old enough to remember the wrecking crew defenses and all bullshite aside Alabama has had some defenses since Saban arrived that are better. The reason I say this is because what most people here are overlooking is not the talent but his masterful disguising of his blitz packages. He is the key factor when comparing the two

Are we actually debating if A&M fielded better defenses than Alabama's best defenses? COME ON MAN

The Wrecking Crew weren't even the best defensive team of their era. The U was clearly better defensively. I would also take Desert Swarm at their peak as well. So by default, it has to be Saban's Bama defenses.

Well Aggies are a fickle bunch! If you force feed them to fast they tend to moan and cry but if you let them take a spoonful at a time they are more excepting
