How does Alabama Football feel about their secondary?

I think they were pretty young so I expect some experience will help them

This is a lame troll. Not once in your rant of knowledge did you acknowledge the fact that the secondary was new. This, when the entire pre-season leading up to the Louisville game was discussed ad nauseam by the national media. Not to mention, it was discussed throughout the season here on the SEC RANT.

Now, despite their lack of game time and inexperience, they still managed to give up less yards per game passing than your veteran defensive secondary with one of the best d-lines in football.

I'd say their youth mixed with national championship experience (something LSU can't sniff) will put them in a better position this coming season than you.

Weird huh?

Brown didn't have a catch the entire game, or maybe 1... Either way, Surtain got worked in a couple of games. I fully expect him to be better, and they get Diggs back.

I think the secondary is gonna be great.

Returning starters in Diggs, McKinney, Carter and Surtain is gonna be huge with inexperience that will be in the front 7...gonna miss D Thompson but thank God Saivon Smith is gone

Is Savion done? Obviously a secondary's best friend is a great pass rush. Alabama obviously had that. I expect Surtain to take a huge leap forward. Still can't believe he's not suiting up in the P&G. Bama will always have 4 five stars starting in the secondary for the most part.

I think our corners will be a strength next year; Diggs and Surtain should be solid on the outside and Shyheim Carter was excellent down the stretch at the slot. Outside of McKinney, not sure of our safeties...

LSUs Secondary is down right better than Alabama's last year, and this year. Our dLine was young and average at best, and we we're missing our starting edge rusher all year long. We return the #1 safety in the country grant delpit, a top 3 round safety in Jacoby Stevens, a 1st-2nd round CB in Kristian Fulton (higher PFF than greedy Williams and was on par with DeAndre Baker in his first full season as a starter), a freshman CB that is the highest rated CB to ever come out of HS in Derek stingley JR. So LSUs secondary will be phenomenal next year.

It will only be as good as the refs let them be.

So just to sum up, Bama:
-lost our entire secondary besides our FS to the draft
-lost our starter at CB (Diggs) for the season
-Another starter at safety (Wright)
-Lost a 1st round pass rusher (Lewis)
-Another early round DE (Buggs)
-Another perimeter starter at OLB (Miller)
-Had depth injuries to other perimeter rushers (Allen, Mosley)
-After losing multiple 1st rounders to the draft last year

And you are wanting to know why our secondary was suspect against elite offenses?

Bama was never going to have a top 5 historic Saban defense last year, but the incredible attrition to the draft on top of injuries made it a shell of previous units by the Clemson game.

Secondary will be very good, but avg relative to other Bama units. DB group should be lights out (Surtain/Diggs), safeties will be solid but not elite (Mayden/Carter).
