There isn’t a dominant defense in the SEC this season, at least so far.

Alabama, LSU, and Georgia are the clear top 3 teams.

Tua vs Burrow could determine the Heisman, depending on if Hurts hasn’t locked it up by then (he’s making cupcake defenses look foolish right now)

The ACC is hot garbage.

Pretty much in a nutshell.

Also, need UGA to spank ND this coming Saturday.

You should rename this thread “I want this to be true” ... keep that homerism out of here

I don’t see any way ND keeps it close.

Says there’s no good defenses in the SEC

Discounts Hurts by saying he’s abusing “big 12 defenses” that are just as good as SEC defenses....

All the while OU hasn’t played a single big 12 defense yet...

Did you see what Burrow did to Texas? Hurts will do that plus run for 150 as well.

not what he said, he said there are no dominant defenses in the SEC, like in years past, he didn't discount anybody, just pointed out that Big 12 defenses are bad, and you know damn well they are

Bama’s defense last season wasn’t dominant but it was light years ahead of Oklahoma. It’s the same as this season.

As for Heisman, I think a lot of people won’t vote for Hurts on principle alone- so that the Heisman doesn’t become an Oklahoma system award.

I don’t think it’s that the defenses are “bad” as much as that the game has changed. It’s an offense friendly game now. RPOs and rule changes have made it much harder for defenses.

Idk. I’ve seen Oklahoma’s defense look better than bamas through 3 games.

The Rise of Sparkle Snake is real and the rest of the SEC will soon fear the Biebs.

Never said they were bad, they are not dominant. Two very different things.

He's not doing it the same way Baker did it. Lincoln Riley is just a great offensive coach that uses his people right. I wish there were some of him in the SEC. Instead of trying to fit Jalen in a clock management box, he's helping him ball out and put points up. Oklahoma will never have a defense that dominates like 2011 LSU/Bama because they're on the field every 3 minutes but if they can field a good defense, they're scary good.

Georgia we are assuming good but their schedule has been pathetically bad. It's probably a fair assumption but we will know this week just how good they are.
