All things considered, I don't think it's unrealistic to rank this team right up there with the best defenses of all time in college athletics. A truly outstanding group of players and young men, and I don't think I could possibly be any more proud to be a Bama fan than I am right now.

Re: all time d rank?

Which team was it that allowed like an average of 6 points per game back in the 60's?

I think if we are talking modern era, I would say no question about it. Absolutely!

Re: all time d rank?

I believe that was the 1966 team........before my time so I can't say for sure.

Let's see if Jay Barker finally admits that this is a better defense than his years there.

Re: all time d rank?

Yep they solidified it tonight. Great all time performance. For goodness sakes man, under 100 yards. To think many wanted bama left out. Shameful shameful shameful!

Re: all time d rank?

Been watching for 26 years, and it was the best I have ever seen. I was in school in 92 and thought that one was great. This one is AWESOME! RTR!!!!

Re: all time d rank?

All things considered, best of all-time IMHO. With tonight's performance being the capper!!! RTR!!!!

LOL . Not to rain on the parade , but ...

For one game when it mattered most ? Maybe so . Best unit ever ? NO . I've posted before that after the season I would post something which will provide a lot of perspective when it comes to comparing all-time best UA defenses from the modern era . There's a decent gap between the '92 unit and the 2011 defense . The 1979 defense is superior in most areas as well , but the game was played differently back then . Look for an endless post by the end of the week .
