That defense is legit. Bama will have their way with us on both sides of the ball. The only reason LSU didn't is because that was Lee's first game back.
But I can't think of why LSU didn't rip us apart after seeing what they're doing to everyone else. 40+ on everyone but 19 on us is just weird. Our defense is better than we thought after the Auburn game, but not THAT much better.
