LSU's defense that year was amazing. There's no questioning that. I'm just saying the difference isn't as great as you insinuated
LSU played Oregon and West Virginia, two of the most explosive offenses in football that season. Also two conference champions.
I think we've seen that Alabama isn't some juggernaut offensively after what they did in Fayetteville yesterday. What y'all did to aTm yesterday was super impressive. While I don't think they are as good as the Oregon or West Virginia offenses in those two years, they aren't anywhere near a slouch.
LSU was more talented on defense. 7 of LSU's 11 starters on that defense are starters in the NFL right now. That's fricking ridiculous. Not to mention some other NFL players who were on that 2-deep roster.
That defense was unbelievably stacked and they lived up to their talent against one of the toughest schedules in college football history.

I agree completely. That LSU defense was the best I'd seen since Miam from the late 80's. The only point I was making is the difference between the two teams isn't as great as one would think.
