Better front seven. Bunch of sack monsters. Secondary returned four starters. No body was going to be able to pass on the tide.

Well just as I predicted bama "D"s ppg game and total yards given up are worse in '16 than in '15. Passing yards allowed have increased about 15%.

tide still has most of the better offenses they will face this year still to come.

In football yards don't get you beat it's points. In '15 EVERY team LSU played scored at least 20 points. So far in '16 only ONE team was able to score exactly 20. I will take that defensive improvement every time.
