    A top 10 defense. And against the other top 10 defense he faced, Virginia Tech:

    9-21, 117 yds, 2 TD/1INT, 13 rushes, 13 yards and one of those TD's was a miracle that should've been picked off and will be against our DB's.

    He isn't very good against top notch defenses. Alabama will easily have a top 10 defense this season, probably top 5 (which the 2010 version was even though it caught so much flack). My guess on his stats Saturday night?

    14-31, 137 yards, 0 TD/2 INT, 15 rushes, 48 yards, 1 TD

    This is a pretty great thread... so many fans arguing about their teams. Its especially nice to see AU and UM fans going at it... only thing that would be better is an argument between OSU and AU.

    As for the OP, if you think what Saban said about Denard is intriguing, you'd love to hear his comments regarding Georgia Southern last year. I was pretty afraid of them by the time the game rolled around... Also, I think it was North Texas awhile back when he said they had 'the best athlete we'd face all year'.

    I remember Saban hyping up TY Hilton in '09, about being the best athlete we'd face all year. I think he did run a kick-off back on us (but who hasn't lately?).

  • honest question.. is UM gonna bring in Gardner for a few plays like they did last year? or is he officially moved to WR unless Denard gets hurt?

    Exactly my point, Denard looks all world against weak defensive units, and OSU had just that last year. But when he faces top flight defensive units, he sucks. The last time he played at the Shoe, when we actually played defense, we destroyed him. Beat him up and eventually knocked him out of the game, if I remember correctly. They managed to score 7 pts in a 37-7 drubbing. Denard will get wrecked on Saturday night, along with the rest of the scUMmers. Bama - 36 scUM - 10
