Their offense was nothing special but relative to the way the game was played at the time, that defense was as good as any that ever stepped onto the field. Anyone who argues otherwise just hates Bama that much or more likely, is too young to have ever watched them play in real time.

Of course. Bama rode that defense all year. Bill Oliver and Stallings devised one the greatest defensive game plans ever seen in football for that championship game. It was beautiful. Gina Toretta was lost.
