At the halfway point of Alabama's 2011 regular season, the Crimson Tide arguably boasts the best defense in the nation. Not only does Alabama currently have the No. 1 rushing defense and scoring defense in college football, the Crimson Tide is also in the top four for passing defense and total defense.

Good to see the '61 team included in the camparison of great defenses.  Many of our younger posters never got to see this special bunch play.  They definitely set a high standard.

You could tell this defense was going to be really good by the way Saban talked about the team at the beginning of the season.  Offenses are so multiple these days that 1961's total yardage allowed standard is practically impossible to meet, although the 2011 squad is holding teams to less rushing yards than that 61 squad.

They probably don't care about Jordan or even know who Sam Huff was. But it seems to me the bottom line on D's is points allowed. This season is far from over, but they have the chance to be included in the same conversation with the '61 team. Someone (55) said today what a great time to be alive and a Bama fan.

Wasn't that the defense that Coach Bryant said, "They play like it is a sin to give up a point."

We'll see what happens. The second half of the '61 season BAMA yielded a FG. I wonder how that happened? A penalty got Arkansas in position for a 52 yarder? Someone be Captain Internet and look it up.
