Since the debacle of a first half at Arkansas we've given up 9 points in six quarters. How good do you think our defense has gotten?
One thing that I have heard is that Saban recruits a smash mouth offense but wants a defense that can combat a spread style offense. I think with talent he's gotten and continues to get really showed tonight and last years SECCG. You can even say that in the second half against Arky as well. As well as they played they still have to get better. It's crazy though because they have a high ceiling, maybe higher than last year. That pass rush finally showed up.Our defense is growing up fast and is taking form. Shortly after CNS got here it was evident the type of talent he was accumulating on defense could potentially turn into a dominating unit. I think it is quickly taking form. The talent from the 2007,2008, 2009 and some in the 2010 class is seemingly coming together to form a dominating defense. What I saw tonight was a defense that looked to be "toying" with the gators at times. Speed, power, quickness and explosiveness is what this defense is quickly turning into. We had zero offense in the second half and the defense ensured the game would never be in question.
I was actually thinking "great!" at many points during the game.and tackling was better, not great, but better
