Our D-Line

[Chechem]

Our D-line, as a unit, may be the best we've ever had.  We got pressure all night with just the front 4.  I think the last count I heard was 6 sacks, but there could have been a few more after that one.  It seems like it was a different guy chasing after the QB on every play.

Better than 1992 with Copeland, Curry, Roosevelt Patterson, Jeremy Nunley?
Better than 1978 with Marty Lyons, Curtis McGriff, E.J. Junior, David Hannah?
Better than 1979 with E.J. Junior, Byron Braggs, Wayne Hamilton, David Hannah?

Of course they're better than those guys.  Bigger. Stronger. Faster.  They'd be freaking bionic men if they played in those days.

  Did those guys get 6 sacks and 7 TFL in a single game? 

Probably, but they all won SEC & National Championships & produced All Americans. Curry & Copeland each had 10.5 sacks in 1992. Are we basing greatness on one game?

No, hence the "may".  We will see how they stack up at the end of the season, but I like what I have seen so far.

Our "D" is great. The only thing is they are human and the reason I say this, all the points OM scored on us. Yes, even though our offense handed it to them in short field. RTR!

You just know the D coaches are ecstatic about their play. It's taken a long time to get them back to that level.

I think our defense is great. I can't wait to see how we do this season.

D-line shined at times but struggled at other times. Stood tall in the clutch.

I would put our D-front against anybody. I mean anybody. This front 7 is a great bunch when they want to be. Man I am skin like a leaf. RTR!

I guess you guys are too young to remember the 1961 National Championship led by Lee Roy Jordan gave up only 22 points in the 10 regular season games including 6 shutouts. Won the Sugar Bowl by beating Ark. 10-3. Gave up a total 25 points in the 11 game season.
