Not really, either team would likely go undefeated this year.

A Les miles offense sucks, but I do miss a Les yards O line sometimes

Its what happens when the courts took teams developing together out of the sport. The free for all, amateur league model makes it hard for teams to play on the same page til at least mid-season. The OLine suffers the most and that's what the sec has built on.

You aren't wrong.

Florida is looking like me at 21 after a night of red bulls and 190... A problem.

I would love to see those defenses play this era, both teams had great secondary’s

They would be ranked maybe 4 and 5 behind Georgia and Miami.

Texas is slightly better on D and around the same on offense.

Georgia is all around better on offense worse on defense.

Miami has offensive concepts that would destroy Saban/Chavis. (Brandon Weeden was the biggest threat they played. Now go up against Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney.

The DL/LB of those teams would confuse the absolute hell out of modern offensive linemen

Contrary to popular opinions around here, just like the 1921 Sewanee team I think they’d have a little issue with offenses these days. Things have changed on offense so much I think they’d probably still win but give up a lot more points

Linemen and linebackers were so much heavier back then, and slow, built for the run

Stacked and aggressive

Oline average size and speed is..a bit different

2011 LSU OL
316.8

2011 Alabama OL
312.6

Georgia front
~286

Texas front
~291

Notre Dame front
~283

Ohio State front
~278

Indiana front
~277


Let's add.... The 40 time may be worse for 2011, but the shuttle and the three cone times were better.

Basically every defensive front would be facing an ol line that is 30 lb heavier on average and faster in all meaningful situations.

Mass moves mass.

Yes.

Because you'll never see a championship game like that again.

Just insanely overpowered defenses coupled with large fast o lines.

With bad offenses
