That offense was one of the worst clustershits in football history, and the 2008 defense is probably one of the most underrated defenses of all time.
Agree with the first, disagree with the second.

Posted this in another thread: AU's offense in '08 was ranked #112 out of 120 FBS teams in total offense. Our defense got to face #114, #116, and #118, plus FCS UT-Martin (who managed to score exactly as many points as JSU did this year). West Virginia, Arky, and Bama all performed well above their season averages for yards and points. Our only decent performance against a team with a pulse offensively was against UGa.

We were pretty average defensively in '08. That season was only impressive in comparison to every year since.
