The thing that separates the SEC from other conferences is the speed of the D-Lineman.. Every good team in the country normally has good speed at the skill positions.. KeKe Mingo normally is one of the 1st players down on the kickoff and makes the tackle!!! Oregon will not be able to play smash mouth against us, and will have little success running the ball at us unless we allow it. By allowing it, I mean that we may line up in a Cov.2 scheme with only 5 players in the box. This was a MAJOR mistake against Auburn last yr. We allowed around 500 yds rushing to them and played very "Vanilla" all night long and rarely blitzed. We allowed the Auburn offense to dictate the way the game would be played instead of our defense taking control. I still think the Tigers win a close one despite all the distractions. I really like John Chavis, but his game plans against Spread teams and QB's that can run concerns me. This dates all the way back to Matt Mauck in the SEC Championship game vs Tenn. No one used the same defensive game plan we used against Auburn last year, and it failed miserably for us even though we had arguably the best defense in the SEC last year.

We don't just have speed at the skill spots. Our dline has a speed and then some. Jordan, Hanna, and Turner are all very fast ends. Remington and Hart are extremely fast for 280+ dlinemen. Bair ran the 4th fastest 40 time as a DT at the combine and Remington/Hart are very bit as fast as he was.
