The defense looked pretty dominant up until that last Bama drive. What surprised me though was the way they played the rest of the season. Post Bama, the pass rush was gone, the secondary resembled swiss cheese and some teams even got the run going on our vaunted defense.
I can remember a similar late season decline defensively in 2007. I think Dorsey and a couple of others being hurt had something to do with that.
I understand Mingo was less than 100% but otherwise I guess the the loss of the ultimate goal is the best explanation.
Sure, you'd expect a bit more self-motivation but these are kids and they are human.

Started with the Tulane game that year. Then Kentucky exposed us. We got it back on track that year at the SECCG.
