There's little need to be worried about a game that's 7 months away. Last year's results don't necessarily have a huge influence on this year's. Following your reasoning though, I can see cause for concern. 2013 Alabama defeated a more veteran, explosive offense to the tune of 38-17. According to this thread, the LSU defense is looking much better. LSU's offense has taken a step back. It remains to be seen how Alabama's offense and defense will shake out.

Except I don't think it has. LSU has rarely scored 42 points in a spring game. And that without some guys who will be key contributors come fall.

From what you saw, could you truly imagine the 2015 defense being close to the 2011 defense's level?
I really could. Looking at our defensive roster right now, I see 2-3 guys possible to go pro which is light years better than the 8 players gone we've been dealing with the last 2-3 years. We may lose Danielle Hunter, Kwon (50/50 depending on this season), Jalen Mills (this is his first year at FS so I doubt it) and Rasco will graduate. Even if these guys do leave we're going to have a shitload of solid depth behind them. So with that said, 2015 is going to have a damn strong LB crop, a ridiculous secondary if Jalen Mills stay with Tre White, Rashard Robinson, Rickey Jefferson, and then throw in the hands down #1 CB in this coming class in Kevin Toliver, it's just going to be a wrecking crew back there. If one spot could take a hit it would be the DL losing DEs Hunter and Rasco and Hunter would be a big loss but he could stay. We've got quality depth behind even with those guys leaving with Lewis Neal and Tashawn Bower (whom I forgot to mention in my OP, but looks really good as a sophomore).
TL,DR: Yes, we should be loaded and a 2011-like defense should be within the scope of reality, especially with how crazy good the secondary will be.

You forget that we basically fricked ourselves early in that game. We were going to be 7-0, then Copeland fumbled at the one yard line. We stopped you, got the ball back, then fumbled the snap. you got the ball and couldn't really move and just kicked the FG. We got the ball back and then finally scored. It should have been 14-0 before you even did anything. We couldn't run at all and then the OL just gave up the last 2 drives.
I want to win that game and the Ole Miss game more than any other games on the schedule.
