ood enough to finish as one of the best in the SEC and the nation, statistically. So we were kind of good...

While this is true, they didn't perform up to par in key games (LSU, South Carolina, and Auburn).

Plus, key members of that secondary, namely both corners, were suspect last year against good WRs (Alshon, Rueben, and Zachary).

You had better hope they have improved. I, like Saban, remain skeptical. Experience getting burned isn't the type of experience that necessarily helps.

LSU's secondary, on the other hand, is full of guys who have either proved themselves or have surprised everybody with their play.

So Bama's secondary is mostly hype at this point, while LSU's is underrated.
