2011 Easily one of best teams in all of College Football history... Just ran out of gas and got out coached at the end.



Agree 2011 is one of the best ever. But we didn't run out of gas. We had the misfortune of playing in the same division with another of the best teams ever, that we were forced to play TWICE.

That Bama defense may have been the best of all time. The fact that our defense kept their offense out of the end zone for 7 quarters and an overtime was an incredible accomplishment.

The win in The Game of the Century, in Tuscaloosa, on CBS in primetime after two weeks of Super Bowl like buildup should have gone down as one of the greatest wins in one of the greatest games ever.


What is so annoying, is all the talk about Baylor and TCU and the Big 12 offenses this year. Where was that in 2011 with Oklahoma State??? Missing out on a chance to see an all time SEC defense against that air raid Big 12 offense was the biggest disappointment for the country with that sham of a Rematch.

For us, well, the disappointment was even worse.

It was great, but I think LSUs defense was better. More tested and more versatile. LSU defense proved capable of stopping the best spread offenses as well as the power offenses. Bama defense featured huge front 7 and was designed to stop LSU type power offenses but was never tested against the likes of Oregon or WV. Bama finished with better stats Bc it's schedule was vastly inferior.

I've always wanted to see that huge Bama defense play a wide open offense that'd make those giant LBs run sideline to sideline. I guarantee Oregon and OK St would've scored on them.
