re: Defensive success against HUNH

Is there an inverse relationship between defensive success against HUNH teams and power running teams?

It seems the last two years, LSU has gone to lighter and faster defenses and has had great success over HUNH teams. At the same time, the teams they have lost to and struggled against have been(exception Ole Miss) traditional power attacks.

Bama on the other hand has stayed with a larger, slower D and has struggled against HUNH teams.

Thoughts?

The past two years in particular, while we've had speed in the secondary and on the edges, we've lacked depth in the middle, at DT and MLB. That's why some teams have had success running straight up the middle.
