They certainly aren't as cocky about their team as they were before this game. And I think all of the comparisons to last year's defense are done. This one isn't in the same galaxy.


Any Bama fan that's think this year's Bama defense is any where NEAR 2011 Bama defense , is ignorant. Plain and simple. Last year's defense was disgustingly good. This year's defense gave up 400 yards to or of the worst offenses in the SEC and more than once gave up first downs by us running on 3rd and 4. That would've never happened lat year.

The 2011 defense was one of the greatest of all time. I would say that this defense is more like 2009.

Bama fans should probably take a step back and wait to after next weekend to continue to proclaim how great they are. I mean bama has played 1 team currently ranked in the top 20 and probably should have lost to them (and certainly got outplayed by them).

For the most part I agree. Bama's offense is much better, but the defense has taken a step back. It's still the best D in football by far, but last year's D was the best in 2 decades.

it's going to be a long time before alabama, or maybe anyone sees a cfb defense like 2011 alabama.

i don't think this year's alabama is the greatest of all time. but, it's the first time i can remember having an offense that can bail out the defense when needed. this is not the greatest alabama team, but it might be the most balanced in a very long time.
