Title: North Texas Coach Dan McCarney praises Alabama defense Post by: pmull on September 18, 2011, 12:01:21 PM In 2009 Florida ranked second in the Southeastern Conference with 40 sacks. But McCarney and the Gators were beaten by an even better defense in Alabama, which went on to claim its own national title. Saturday night, in his team's 41-0 loss to the Crimson Tide, McCarney was reminded of that defense. "I know what a national championship contender looks like after being one in Florida and coaching against one at Alabama," he said after the game. "I think they've got the pieces in place to contend. They're fast, physical, relentless, play-makers. They suffocated our offensive line. Every time we seemed to get something going, they just dominated our offensive front." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/09/dan.html Title: Re: North Texas Coach Dan McCarney praises Alabama defense Post by: BAMAWV on September 18, 2011, 12:10:56 PM Quote North Texas finished the night with just 169 yards of total offense, with three different quarterbacks taking turns at throwing, unsuccessfully, against the Alabama defense. Leading rusher Lance Dunbar, who scored the Mean Green's lone touchdown in its 53-7 loss to the Tide in 2009, had more carries (17) than yards (16). LOL |
