In recent memory '11 Bama

That defense was nasty and the fact that offenses were getting more and more faster made the fact that the defense shut everyone down was amazing. The most yards we gave up that year was against Georgia Southern (341) and it was a triple option squad. I look at clips of the '92 defense though and go :wow: with Teague (went to my alma mater) and Copeland and the guys.

97 Michigan

Michigan's 1997 defense set the NCAA Division I FBS record for fewest yards allowed per pass completion (8.8 yards per completion, 100–149 completions) Over the course of the 1997 season, including conference and non-conference games, Michigan's defense led the Big Ten Conference in most statistical categories, including rushing defense (89.0 yards per game), passing defense (133.8 yards per game), passing defense efficiency (81.8 points per game), total defense (222.8 yards per game) and scoring defense (9.5 points per game).

Michigan's 1997 season totals in total defense and scoring defense are the lowest marks among all Big Ten football teams since the 1985 season. The last Big Ten team with a lower scoring defense mark was the 1985 Michigan team that held opponents to 6.8 points per game. Including the 1997 season, Michigan won the Big Ten statistical championship in rushing defense six times in eight years from 1990 to 1997.


And oh yeah their CB won the Heisman.
