The defense should be praised

[KingCharlesSpaniel]

It is unfortunate that they were unprepared for the Bama run game on the 1st 2 TD drives. They did not look good then.
But after that --especially in the 2nd half-- the D played lights out. Better than any other defense has played them thus far and probably better than any other will play them this year.
Bama beat us --as expected-- but not in the way I expected them to. I thought Tua and the Bama WR would torch us in the passing game. Not the case at all. Best pass D we have ever played. Gives me great hope for beating Ole Miss. If the defense continues to play like this we cruise to 8 wins.
Before this game Bama had only allowed 2 sacks. We got 4. We doubled all other opponents.
Our D made Tua look mortal. No other team has been able to do that.

Here, here. They were animals last night. And absolutely blanketed those receivers and that was without Cole and Landrews. Can’t say enough about how well those guys played. And to stand them up at the goal line at the end? That was pure damn heart and pride right there. That was almost as good as a touchdown to me.

Defense plays grown man football. They will flat out hit you. They play hard. We should cruise to 8 wins then 9 with a bowl victory. 9-4. Not bad for first year head coach. Just hope he understands the significance of the EB.

Couldn’t agree more. They have somehow been even better than advertised in a year that we thought they might be one of our best defenses ever. Hat’s off to them
