In 2011 you gave up 183 YPG. In 2012 you have up 250 a game. Take out Georgia and A&M and the 2011 total drops to 201.
So your vastly superior 2011 defense gave up more PPG and less than 20 YPG less. Sorry, the numbers dont support your claim. The difference was the offenses you played, not your defense. Statistically speaking, LSU has done far better against great offenses under Chevis. Saban's defense at Bama are just statistically good to average against elite offenses.
The 2011 Arkansas team had the best WR corp in the country, I'd say it was a better offense than the Georgia team we played.
As for the stats, impressive, but like I said, sometimes when stats seem off you have to use the eye test. I mean you can claim it all you want, you can post stats about it all you want, but the 2011 defense was far and away better than the 2012 D, and that's a fact that any expert will tell you.

2011 may have been better, but this idea that A&M caught Bama in a down year defensively is silly. Bama was still the #1 defense in the country and likely will be again this year, but that doesnt automatically mean you'll shut us down.
looking back at last years game, Bama had very little success against us even after the first quarter.
Our first half possessions were TD, TD, TD, 40 yard drive that ended on fourth down by an inch and then end of half. Three of our six legitimate second half drives ended in points (or should have, one was a missed 30-something yard FG). Another was the end of the game.
Essentially, Bama stepped up and stopped our offense could only twice the entire game. Even one of those drives was helped by a 20 yard pass called back for questionable offense PI. Bama might do better this year and still give up 20-30 points.
