The thing that Auburn did better than anyone else was tackling. The first guy that's in position to make the tackle HAS to make the tackle. Otherwise, with guys like Rainey and Demps, one or two missed tackles turns into a TD.

It helped that Auburn had smaller, faster LBs.

You and Dennis make the same observation. Didn't Chavis move personnel around in the Spring to improve the speed of our LB corp? We really need to become leaner and quicker (comment inserted for SFP) on D - see Miami back in the hay day - to adjust for the spread offense trend.
