Still damn good though. If Auburn gets a defense, I hope we can claw our way up there as well.
IMO, the HUNH somewhat prevents a team from consitantly having a strong run stuffing defense. My thinking is not based on personel, but more on the fact/opinion that going against the HUNH every day in practice tends to teach a more front-butt defensive mentality.

Upvote, that has always been my assertions as well.
Texas High School and the Tejas Colleges, as an entire state, is prime example. 7-on-7 flag camp diseased state, lots of talent, yet never plays well as a unit together. I think it's warped that state from the bottom up. Strong more so than Sumlin is the one that could maybe toughen the state back up.
All the other schools besides the Horns had to go to it, to gadget the programs into winning ways. But, it's not gonna win you Natty hardware, unless with a rare team(2005 Horns) that's loaded to the gills. And still required beating a finesse west coaster in USC to blow 11 pt lead with but 4 minutes and change left by not a single run play there forth.
You can't toughen up all of sudden..can't win a 'Calluses Game' when you don't already wear em coming in!

Maybe, but if our offense is that good, you just need a defense that is pretty good and not elite.
I think Ole Miss had a really good defense this year, as an example.
