Bama played 2 really good offenses last year, TAMU and UGA. They had a really hard time stopping both of them. They also made LSU and Mett look like Peyton Manning.

Bama has a very strong defense but they have such a balanced offense and power running game, it makes their defense look better than it is.

This sounds homerish but I think Florida had a better defensive unit. Our offense was just the shittiest in the SEC. It puts SO much pressure on your defense when your offense leads Earth in 3 and outs. An example is our common opponents. UGA and LSU. Both UGA and LSU struggled mightily against our defense, scoring 1 TD.

We also held Johnny Football to 2 TDs and only 2 second half first downs. He did that to Bama in the first 6 minutes of that game.

Our defensive strength will depend solely on the play of our LB's. If we get consistent production at that position we could easily be top 4 in the league .

I agree somewhat - FL had a good defense last season. It helps to have the offense help out the D and it helps when the D helps out the O. Finding the right mix between Off-Def-ST is tough, but when a team can put them all together, good things happen.
