Unlike when the B12 teams had to choose to put most all their elite skill players on offense, the depth of SEC athletes allows for still above average defensive play. With Heuple added to the mix, it’s going to be an “I’ll take the over” next couple of years.

Has it though? The SEC has still put out a bunch of really good defensive performances in the playoffs the past 2 years

Are you inferring that it won't work like this, that other conferences/schools with stout defenses will start winning titles? Because that isn't what has gone on in the past decade for the SEC.

I think this is an overreaction. Alabama played some of its best defense in the playoffs. Shutting down a really good Ohio State offense that had just blasted Clemson.

I don't recall ever having to choose to put our most athletic players on offense. We recruited athletic guys that were already skill players. We still do.
And your defenses are tracking on an identical downward slide that the BIG XII's defense did when spread offenses arrived.
