No. We don’t have near the talent of that 2011 team. Those two teams were some of the best in college football history.


this. Even if we do get to #2 against them, both teams are not as good. Alabama’s offense MIGHT be better, but there just isnt the same amount of NFL talent imo. Not far off though.

Yeah, those defenses were just so tough and elite, and having Honey Badger just brought the team to another level. I think this year's defense could potentially have more NFL first rounders starting on it though (White, Greedy, Delpit and possibly Lawrence if he stays healthy). I also think this defense hasn't come close to peaking yet as they are still inconsistent in the secondary.

Special teams have been great like 2011. Our passing game wasn't special at all in 2011 even though we had RR and OBJ, but we ran over everyone even though we didn't have really elite RBs. We scored 40+ in 9 of our games and 35+ in 2 others. Our offense isn't on that level this year.
