I noticed there is no SEC superior defense narrative on ESPN.

Anyone else notice there hasn't been much talk about the superior SEC defenses this bowl season? Now that a few have played and have given up a lot of points and yards to other leagues.

5 teams have played now and the least amount of points given up was 24 by Vanderbilt and they still gave up 424 yards to NcState.

I do expect someone will say something about it tonight though, with this Louisville/UF game in the Sugar bowl.

Just interesting that it is being swept under the rug right now, very telling.

BTW, aTm finished with a worse defensive rating than all the SEC teams that will play in bowls this year. Only the ones that didn't make a bowl game had a worse defense.

Probably saving their best defensive performance for OU.

I think they've got it covered in their promo on ESPN Radio by saying something along the lines of "Notre Dame is 12-0 but have yet to play an SEC team . . . ."

I've been waiting for someone to bring up a/m's 80th ranked p**** (against the sec!) and 59th overall defense.
OU has a real chance to give these guys a taste of their own no huddle medicine.
They are giving up 248 passing yds a game to OU's 198.
