Bama is ranked at #3 nationally in the total defense category.
When Coach Saban fully stocks his defense with players that he prefers and has them 2 and three deep, look out.
Great post and an even better point.
It's funny how little attention this monster (young) defense has gotten.
That is true, Swamptick. Not everyone keeps up with the stats like some of us.
For instance, I was at a friends house today and there were a couple of couples over there that I didn't know.
They were great people and long time 'Bama fans. I asked them what they thought about 'Bama's defense and the ranking it has nationally this year.
None of them knew we were #3 in overall defense, but they all knew they were "pretty" good.
'Bama's defense is just so workman like. Plain blue jeans, regular steel toe shoes, and a nice flannel shirt type of workers.
Nothing flashy, no superstars, just rock solid from top to bottom and getting better with every game.
As you say, they don't get a lot of attention, but by God, they are doing their jobs and doing them very well.
