Bama's defenses under Golding (2018 - 2022) are significantly better than every defense we have fielded since the second expansion, except for the 2014 Landsharks.

Sorry, but the Golding years at Bama were the worst Bama had ever been under Saban at executing the basics. Mental mistakes and poor tackling as far as the eye could see. You're in for a disappointment if you really think you'll improve under Pete's watch.

Do you have any idea just how bad Rebel defenses have been since Freeze's last season? shite, even marginal improvement would be welcomed with open arms.

Conference rankings of Rebel scoring, total, and rushing defenses
2016 - 14th in scoring, 13th in total, 14th in rushing
2017 - 13th in scoring, 14th in total, 13th in rushing
2018 - 14th in all three categories (the Triple Crown!)
2019 - 11th in scoring, 12th in total, 8th in rushing
2020 - 14th in all three categories (our second Triple Crown!)
2021 - 8th in scoring, 11th in total, 12th in rushing (we tackled much better this season, thanks to DJ Durkin; half of the battle is just being near the ball, something we haven't done in years prior to this or in 2022)
2022 - 9th in scoring, 8th in total, 8th in rushing (our rankings are 11th, 9th, and 9th for conference play)
