ends 230's, tackles 270's. were they designed to defense the
spread? texas's offense is one dimensional. this is gonna be
an arse kicking of epic preportions. this whooping could shape
college football for the next decade. i will be happy to eat crow
on friday am.

I don't know about that.....we've always used undersized guys in the front 7 and until this year, we had a very good defense every season.

Muschamp recruited those same types of guys with us. That is going to be one of his trademarks now that he runs the D and isn't under Saban's thumb.....speed....

I'm not sure where the 270s are coming from, Houston, Alexander, and Randall (the 3 most rotated DTs) are all between 290-305. Starting ends are 250-260 (Kindle and Acho).

The difference is in the LBs. The Texas LBs are much lighter than Alabama's. And yes, the D was designed to defense the spread....have you seen any Big12 football lately?
