05 USC, 05 Texas, 01 Miami would all give this year's Bama team all sorts of problems.

95 Nebraska is still the best team I have ever seen, but I wonder how the option attack would do against Saban's defense.

Roll them.

Go back and look at Triple-Option teams he's faced in the past with Bama...and how they've given up tons of yards against also-rans.

Saban's D's attack and that's the bane of stopping perfectly blocked TO.

2005 USC struggled on defense though. Although it probably would do well enough against this Bama offense. That's why I think 2004 USC is the standard.

Me too, probably. I think some of the younger posters here might not remember that team. They assume players from 20 years ago wouldn't compare to now.

This defense would do better than most due to their overall speed but no defense I've ever seen would do more than just slow them down a little. That attack was scary and by the 4th quarter defenses were all done getting beat up. Younger guys that haven't seen this team should really find some old footage.
