Bama better improve their offense if they plan to reach double digits on us.


This has to be sarcasm.

Bama's offense has played very well this year. And if ya'll really think our defense dominated Florida, then you don't know anything about football. They punted one time. They crossed midfield every time they had the ball. Our defense played very hard, and kept them out of the endzone with some big stops, but at no time did we ever shut them down. Urban Meyer punted on 4th and inches from LSU's side of the field because he knew our offense couldn't score.

Now Nicky has always played to let his defense win, but at the rate we're giving up sacks, we're in big trouble vs the Tide if we don't show some improvement.

You seem to be contradicting yourself. On one hand you say that we didn't dominate florida and on the other you say that we played very hard and kept them out of the end zone with some big stops and then again - but we never shut them down.

I wonder what is it that is acceptable as a good defense from everyone.

The reason I felt this D was and is good is because

1. Regardless of how they played each time - they kept the ball out of the end zone - AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS From a defensive standpoint.

2. Urban punted - as opposed to how he did it the previous 4 games because we are good and it wasn't worth risking that fourth down.

I don't care about pretty defenses
About defenses named after states
I don't care for dominant defenses
All I care is that they win games
