I really liked the way Alabama played team defense in 92. I especially liked our defensive backfield.
I also believe our current defense man for man is bigger faster stronger than the 92 defense. It was great in its era.(92) This one still has much to prove. I worry too much and all the individual accolades are well deserved, but I like it better when a team or players feel slighted and want to prove the pundits wrong.
No one better than keeping the clutter to a minimum than Saban, and all the honors help in recruiting so it's pick your poison. If our current defense wants to rip the heads off the opposing team they can. I hope they practice like they do and play that way also. If so we could just kill the clock with some good strong play without too much trickery in setting up the other team.
Cant help but wonder how Kiffin will do, although he may have a chip on his shoulder by then to show he can score with the best of them.
All that said the 92 defense will hold a special place in my heart regardless of which is considered best. 2011, this year or any other. The 1992 and 2011 defenses came to prove something. If this years defense does the same look out.
I will also add I do not remember the 1992 defense having any injuries. I could be way off, just do not remember.....maybe a LB....?
