In reply to: It seems to me that the 2012 season was the alter-ego posted by kdh325

We played lights out D 12 out of 13 games. Against Alabama, we were whipped by a superior team (especially their O line).

1986 team was sloppy, heavily penalized and played crappy D. Holtz had to break them of years of bad habits learned under Faust. We did have Tim Brown though, who was largely a non-factor until Holtz came along.
