After watching KSU play with Oregon defensively for a half, Bama would be all over that arse.
Eh, Alabama definitely has a better defense than KSU's, no doubting that. It's not really close. However, the matchup is tougher for Alabama. KSU is an attacking, slanting defense that relies on penetration. They also get to see the zone read and option every single day in practice.
Alabama, on the otherhand, is primarily a 2-gap scheme from its 3-4 look. I'm not saying it's impossible (and they would run more 1-gap schemes as they do that probably 30% of the time in normal games), but 2-gapping a team like Oregon would be extremely tough.

I agree with all of that, but the one thing that Bama has that is not measured is much more speed in the secondary. I mean hell, there was a white kid playing Safety for KSU. I also believe that Bamas offense would be much better suited against Oregons D. That misdirection with a slow arse QB only gets so far.
I'll say this, the showing of Klein and that O last night should tell you something about the level of Defense in the Big 12.
