Bama has had some great defenses, but I can’t recall when I’ve seen a more suffocating defense than what Georgia is putting out there this year. There have been some dominating defenses in the SEC but a lot of them came before the touch-football defense teams play now. A lot of defenses were stellar back in the 80’s and 90’s when teams were able to tear your head off on defense. UGA is playing that kind of suffocating defense in an era when it’s hard to do that. It’s impressive. I hate the Mutts but you gotta give the devil due.

I mean, the 2011 Alabama defense didn't allow their opponent in the national championship game to cross the 50 yard line but once and they promptly had a strip sack on the next play.

If that isn't suffocating defense then I don't know what to tell you.

ETA: That 2011 LSU team averaged 41 points a game outside of their two games against Alabama. They scored 9 total points in over 8 quarters.
