re: Has LSU D been more dominant with massive D-Line, or rangier players?

his is still how Saban recruits his dline and he puts out the best line every year. I don't see the light DE fad working out

But Sabans defenses often struggle against spread teams. It's fortunate for Bama that they don't play many every year. I'll tell you what, in 2011 LSUs defense was way more tested and versatile than Bama's. LSU that year had to cope with high power offenses that Bama didn't play.

Yep. I think every team wants size and strength at DT. At DE there has to be at least some size, but there is a place for speed rushers too. It really depends on the type of offense the defense is facing.
