Obviously no where close to Alabama, but given last year's performance rushing, I figure they are pretty good. Haven't watched them much this year.

Any insight?

completely irrelevant, lost their #1 tackler and their best to DLinement

they are good, but they aren't bama. And i think if you are anything short of Bama we can have success.

Give up 4 yards a carry on average.

They are good, but we shouldn't just be cowering like some posters.

An avg front 7 can easily become a great front 7 if they know the plays your running and are dead set on making you throw the ball

There front 7 is their strong suit. But no where near Bama quality. Their pass defense us atrocious. Expect us to run up the gut.

Every team has done that all year.

It has only worked 1 time

cas...this is our Dline rotation. Certainly not all 5 stars like Bama, but some very highly recruited kids in this rotation. Probably the deepest group on the team is the Dline. We rotate around 10 guys. This is why we sometimes absolutely suck against mobile QBs in the HUNH. We can't rotate and sub.

First Rotation(Run Stop)
DE Tevin Beanum 6'4" 280
DT DeMarcus Hodge 6'2" 340
DT Taiwan Johnson 6'4" 290
DE Jeremiah Ledbetter 6'3" 280

Second Rotation(Pass Rush)
DE JaMichael Winston 6'4" 262
DT Bijohn Jackson 6'2" 325
DT Mitchell Loewen 6'5" 275
DE Deatrich Wise 6'5" 273

Others in rotation
DT Armon Watts 6'5" 304
DT Hjalte Froholdt 6'5" 300

Our LBs are a little thin due to injuries. We will start a tFR at one spot. An All SEC caliber run stopper(sucks in coverage)at Mike. A solid LB at the other OLB spot.

MLB Brooks Ellis 6'2" 242
SLB Dwayne Eugene 6'1" 237
WLB Dre Greenlaw(tFR) 6'0" 222

Ellis and Greenlaw lead the team in tackles. 74 and 72 respectively.

Ledbetter is the most athletic DL we have IMO. #55 and he is going to be a good one. Deatrich Wise is probably the best pure pas rusher.

It's a talented group on the line, but just young. Only two seniors in the ten guy rotation.

It's so true.

Their weakness is through the air, but we will ground and pound our best regardless

We absolutely suck against the pass.

The middle of the field has been wide open all year long because Ellis can't cover for shite. Hitting the middle of the field is how Auburn came back from a 14 point deficit.

The defense is just young as a whole. Not many seniors anywhere.

Les don't care, look for 17 passes max.

Yeah, I do remember the Auburn game. That was such a wild one.

We are only allowed to pass outside the hashes, so you're probably safe.
