re: Saban's comments on the defense post-South Carolina

If only there was a Defensive Coordinator out there who seemed to have figured out how to slow down and disrupt the HUNH offense... and we played against him last year, and he trots out a new young aggressive defense with a gutted D-line and runs 3 safeties and brings pressure and continues to have success.

I hate bogging any football conversation down with too many stats. But Pruitt's aggressive style, we finished #3 in the nation in total defense in 2016 and #1 in total defense in 2017. I would rather err on the side of being aggressive vs spread teams.
