Rewatching this game really makes you realize just how good Marcel Dareus was and just how overrated Mark Barron was.

Both highly drafted. But one would go on to multiple Pro Bowls, while the other would have to switch to LB at the next level to stay in the league.

Pretty smart of Gus to attack Bama by getting Barron into man coverage situations and repeatedly exploiting his poor coverage skills.

Thankfully, the 2011 D wasn't asked to face a decent QB and complete offense all season.

Barron definitely had trouble in coverage in 2010. I think that he tore a pectoral muscle early in that game also, and played through it. Either way, Barron has been a beast at that hybrid LB position that he moved to with the Rams.
