re: Comparison of Defense Struggles ('04 and '13)

That defense is really the 2003 championship defense minus 3 guys (Lavalais, Hill and one LB). This year's D has many more guys to work in. More of the true freshman will be worked in for depth and we'll get better as we go but this year's guys probably won't get to the levels of the 2004 team (which should not have been blown out by GA with all those elite players).
