The greatest defense of all time.
Those are big words to throw out there, but we heard it a lot last season as Alabama made its run to the championship game against Clemson. That defense was good. Really, really good. But the greatest of all time? We tend to say something is the greatest of all time, but we look through the biased lenses of our era and time.
So why am I bringing this up now? Because someone emailed me late last week, and they wanted to know if I thought this year’s Clemson defense would be as good as the 2014 group that finished first nationally in total defense.
