Interesting stat

Auburn - 68.6
That was lower than it has been because of QB play this year, but people usually assume Auburn runs the pace of Baylor or Oregon, but we are really middle of the pack in TOP and plays.
I don't think the # plays/game affects our defense, but you are probably onto something with practice.
This year, the lack of offense really hurt the defense because there were so many 3-outs.

Totally agree re: pace of the game. It may lead to more yardage given up, but in the context of a game in which you run a lot of plays that would make sense. I don't think more plays in a game means anything relative to yards per play defensively. As the stats noted, Alabama ran more plays the last 2 years than a lot of the "spread" teams did.

Yea, Auburn's defense was clearly an average to above average unit by year end.
