You know I'm just giving y'all a hard time. Truth be told between the two teams our defense could only dream of being as potent as Bama and LSU. I think we are on the right track.

Definitely. Look at the stats and that's all you need to know. It's unfair to compare almost any defensive unit to the two GOATs defensive units, however.

Worth requoting. At the same time its awesome and a shame that the 11 squads had to compete against each other in the same year. There was no doubt who the two best teams were that year.
To Auburn's credit they have had some pretty nice offensive teams that somewhat rivaled these defenses.

I can't say about Bama. As for LSU, they looked soft this year, but that could be because they just weren't as good as the previous years.

This is crazy.
Teams only reached Alabama's redzone 10 times in 13 games? Am I reading that correctly?

True

IMO neither 2013 LSU or Alabama were soft relative to the rest of CFB. Far from it to say the truth.
I do think compared to their own standards they were softer teams in 2013. That probably had a lot to do with having talented QBs who threw a lot more than previous years.
Id look for both Alabama and LSU to go back to a more power run attack in 2014 with better defense.

You are reading that correctly. However, that doesn't take into account a long play from scrimmage in which the ball carrier scored from outside of the 20 yard line.

stat speaking wise I think our O and our D this year were close to matching the same numbers as those years except maybe the 11 D. We missed not hang a Jesse Williams type in the middle.

It's true, because if you hit somebody too damn hard the refs throw a flag. If you lower your shoulder and hit somebody and the ref just thinks you may have led with your helmet, he throws a flag. And it's going to get worse.
Posted on 2/1/14 at 3:20 pm to bamafan1001
Absolutely
Posted on 2/1/14 at 3:23 pm to bamafan1001
This is unquestionably true IMO. I think a lot of it has to do with experience/talent along DL and OL. Look at Bama OL in '13 v '12 or LSU DL in '13 v '12
