That was one game, and it was against the then #1 team in the country. I admit it, Bama kicked the shite out of them - but Bama ran over just about everyone they faced all year until they got to Florida and into the bowl.

This is cherry picking I admit - #4 in scoring defense (18/game), #5 in pass defense(178.8/game), #4 in 1st downs against(17/game), #2 3rd down conversions against(28.7%) and #2 in red zone defense. The other numbers are #7 in total defense, #8 in rush defense, #11 in sacks by, #10 in 4th down conversions against.

My point is, Auburn could have won several of the games they lost if it hadn't been for an inept offense. Of the games they lost, several were close, if the defense truely sucked as was alluded to earlier, then as bad as the offense was, none of those losses should have been that close.
