That's what I was saying at the beginning of the season. Bad defense cost them the NC last year.Gus will not make it back to Atlanta, or even make it in the SEC for very long, until he starts to put more emphasis on the defensive side of the ball. You just can't play defense as poorly as AU has the past several seasons and expect to have a shot at the west and the SECCG on a regular basis. They don't even need a dominant defense, just an average defense would do. Kinda like MSU..
