From 1991 through 1993, watching Jay Barker, David Palmer, and Langham beat Tennessee was agony. We were the better teams with better coaching. But Majors and Fulmer were too busy fighting with each other to focus


I hear you but man those 92 (especially) and 93 Bama teams were really well-coached. 92 was so disciplined and just didn’t make mistakes on either side of the ball. This seems debatable at minimum. I say debatable because while I remember those Bama teams vividly, I was too young to really remember or have an opinion of UT’s squads those years.

No one has suggested a D on behalf of Auburn so, here’s one (4-3-4)
Performance as collegians more heavily weighed in the selections

DL: Tracy Rocker (Outland winner)
Nick Fairley. (Outland winner)
Aundray Bruce (NFL #1 pick)
Quentin Groves
LB: Mike Kolen
Karlos Dansby
Freddie Smith
DB: Carlos Rogers
Larry Willingham
Carlton Davis
Tucker Frederickson

Got some older generation players in here that youngsters looking this over won’t know.

You can blame Lincoln Riley for that.

I’d sub in Eric Curry for Dareus, and Antonio Langham over Minkah. I’d also put George Teague over Clinton-Dix.

OP omits David Pollack.

Therefore, list is ignorant.

Von Miller on the left, Myles Garrett on the right.

Sprinkle with 9 warm bodies and you have the most explosive D known to man.

You eliminated a player named one of the top players in the first 50 years in SEC history for a slug who had less than 5 career sacks cause he played beside a great player. You’re an idiot.

Travon Walker 65 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks , 1 int and 1 forced fumble. David Pollack 283 tackles, 58.5 tackles for loss, 36 sacks, 4 int and 7 forced fumbles. By college stats its David Pollock by a mile and its not even close.


You got destroyed here by another Dawgs fan. He handed you your as$. You knew it.
