Not trying to start an argument here, but who would you rank ahead of them at stopping the run? They are far and away the heaviest front 7 in the country, that usually translates to a good run defense because they're hard to move.

One area that you can't criticize Bama for is the front DL. Our OL will have to play lights out and maybe get away with a few 'Bama OL techniques'.

I'm simply stating they have not proven or backed up their defensive ranking. I don't think it's as good as it appears on paper. It's still a top defense but their stats are misleading due to lack of good running opponents.

you know how many times we heard this shite from Ole Miss? Seriously!

You haven't played the best rushing teams in the conference yet...you won't end up there, that I can guarantee....even if LSU only gets 160 or so on you, Both Auburn and State will have a field day....those big heavy linemen suck at stopping that type of offense....reference the Tenn game where y'all gave up 180

So because they're fat, they can automatically stop the run?
