The way these guys are playing is ridiculous. Front to back aggression. Add to that the fact that they are 3 deep at most positions. These guys are scary good, and I seriously think that they'd be very competitive at the NFL level.
If I had to nitpick there is only 2 "issues" that I can possibly come up with. 1) we lack the large two gap NT that we had in Cody. Even though it hasn't affected the run defense, I just feel if we had that guy it could possibly free up some pass rush lanes for the other guys on 1st and 2nd down. 2) we may need a little, and I mean very little, work on defending the deep ball 1 on 1 while playing press coverage. Dre didn't get a jam on that WR comming off the LOS on that bomb and he also didn't get a hand on him on that near TD pass in the back corner of the endzone.
Miami has had some good D in the 90's, USC had a couple of years when they were stacked, LSU has had some good ones recently, then there is the 92 bama D. Seriously, who compares? Front to back is this the best college defense in recent memory?:BigA:
