What was your defense ranked last year? Top 5 in the nation?

If you think last years team is better than this years...you are sadly mistaken.

Last years offense and special teams were better. This year's defense is much better.

Your defensive #'s are extremely inflated due to the absolute dead beat teams you have played


but they've shut down the dead beat teams they played. That's what good teams do. Not their fault Penn State isn't what is used to be. If their offense wasn't abysmal, I doubt this conversation would be here. I hate Bama with everything in me, but they've done what they needed to do and their 8-0 like us.

Yea, we've played better offenses, but you really think Oregon or WV would light them up? I mean, the worst D in the SEC last year stopped Oregon in the BCSNCG. I think if Bama had our schedule so far, they would be 8-0 with almost identical scores.

I'm not refuting that. I just don't think they are as good as the media is making them out to be. They are a good team, but I just don't see it being as good as last year. To me, one unit went up, two went down.

And yes, we have a HUGE advantage on special teams.

I'll give you that the defense is better (exp improves a lot)

But offensively no way. You don't lose guys like you lost and step up. There is always a down swing. Let alone you haven't faced a team with a pulse yet (hence the gaudy defensive #'s)


Well, offensively, the 2010 was better than the 2009 team. Last year, the problem was on defense. It was just too young. This years defense is 10 times better than last years.

Shutting down 4 teams that rank in the 100's offensively prior to playing them should be considered "MUCH better?"

I don't understand the logic by some of these people.

Ok, let's talk about LSUs D who has raped 1st time starters the past 3 weeks? Will that make you swell your chest up a little more? Dumbass.

Is Mosely really any worse than Trotter? Let's be serious there. And you played Simms, as well as UF's back up for 3/4 of the game.

Yes you got me, I'm sorry for comparing 5 star recruits to the offensive power houses of Kent state and North Texas.

that's obvious. If Wing keeps them pinned back, we win.

Do you really think their D got worse this year from last year?

You played 2 of those same teams and will play the 3rd later. Florida lost Brantly IN YOUR GAME, and you played Tenn with Simms. And both Bama and LSU beat both teams by about the same margin, and we throttled Auburn, who you also play later and most likely put up 35+. You can't compare things like that when both Bama and LSU play those teams. Dumbass

The only thing Mccarron is better at than McElroy is horrible Tattoo decisions. That cheesy bastard is going to be a stain after this game.

Bama MIGHT be better than last year, but LSU is MUCH better. This could be LSU's best team ever.

That was just media hype. We replaced 10 members of our defense. Talent is no substitute for experience in a Nick Saban defense.


To be fair, the media hype is always there. NS is a great coach and has great players. Going into 11, I thought 10 bama was better. I think it's obvious 11 is a better team because of the experience on defense. No one will beat the winner of nov 5.
