Bama did not get hurt so much by normal spread plays, the quick passes and zone reads. It was the big plays..slow developing long passes that got us. We ask a LOT of our corners, sometimes maybe too much.
We should have the best defensive front we have had in years, and the most versatile. We can go big like we always have vs the LSU's and Arkansas of the world, and we also have pass rushers like Jonathan Allen, DJ Pettway, Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson and Rashaan Evans.
Speed and power. In the secondary Cyrus Jones played awful well down the stretch, we have to develop the other corner and there will be a lot of experience back, we should be much improved there.
We do need some young safeties to step up. That and fill the other ILB slot. But the defense should be better vs the pass this go round.

I think Bama was open to a lot of the deeper crossing routes, 15-20 yards where the LBers have to play in coverage in front of the safeties. I know Marshall from OSU was able to exploit it a few times, but not sure how that carried over from the rest of the season of course
I remember from before the OSU/Bama game both sides were saying it would be great to win now, but both teams had so many young guys playing they would likely both be better in 2015.
