That defense we had was nasty.

It's funny how people tried to compare the 2010 defense to 2003 early on in the year last season.

How quickly people forget.

There was no comparison. Every line of defense on that defense was better. The front four was the key, got consistent pressure without the need for the blitzing. This made the blitz packages virtually unstoppable. In fairness, though, the SEC that year was down. Outside of LSU, UGA and Mississippi, no team was ranked in the Top 25 I believe allowing us to substitute a lot and rest players. But, that team had the killer instinct. Led games at halftime like Alabama (17-0), Miss. State (24-0), Arizona (45-0), La. Tech (45-0), Auburn (21-0 and 31-0 after the 3rd), Arkansas (34-14), La-Monroe (35-0) and a few other blow-outs. Only close games were Georgia (7-3)Ole Miss (10-7), Florida (7-10) and Oklahoma (14-7).
