The rushing defense rating takes into account the 892 yards that Bama put on them.
You were in the 60s before the Bama game. You gave up more than 300 to Georgia Southern and more than 200 to Kentucky, among other poor performances. Once again, not in the same ballpark.
quote:
There are few who will disagree that 7 of 11 of UGA's defensive starters will be playing in the NFL next year.
ND has three likely top-15 picks (two in the 2014 draft) in its front seven, so really not sure what your point is. One CB will probably go in the second round next year. Another OLB will probably go third round. A starting safety is projected to go in the fourth or fifth round this year. Two of the other secondary starters are playing their first season so they have a while to go, but both will likely be drafted. It's a legitimate possibility 10 of ND's 11 current starters on D will eventually be drafted. Awesome, you have some NFL talent. So does ND. Probably more, actually (not that NFL prospects really makes a difference in college anyway).

I'll take Bama's OL vs. ND's DL all day.
And please play your safeties deep. Most of our passes are shorter than 15 yards.

Nobody is saying ND's defense is putrid. They are good, but again, part of that is because of the teams they played.
If you want to compare units facing each other, there are probably at least 3 players on Bama's Oline I would take on the Rams right now (or in the next draft). You haven't faced any teams like that yet this year. Yeldon and Lacy are beasts. A.J. will pick you apart if you're giving him 5-10 yard underneath routes.
Now flip it, ND's offense is average to below average. On the other side, Bama's D is above average.
