Title: Alabama resembles 2009 squad
Post by: pmull on September 26, 2011, 07:56:01 AM
It’s getting harder and harder to tell this Alabama team apart from the 2009 version.

The formula is the same: Dominant run-crushing, ball-hawking defense; hard-to-stop tailback duo and heady quarterback making few mistakes.

The No. 3 Crimson Tide (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) certainly resembled the national championship team from two years ago while throttling Arkansas 38-14 Saturday. Even coach Nick Saban isn’t discouraging praise of his defense while cautioning that there are plenty of big challenges ahead, starting with a visit this Saturday to No. 12 Florida.

“I think we’ve had some pretty good defenses through the years and certainly had a great one here in 2009,” Saban said after the game. “We’ve got a lot of experience. The guys have to keep challenging themselves to improve. We’ve got a lot of good people.

Hope the only way we can tell them a part is by the difference in their NC rings.... :popcorn2:
