Upbeat Nutt points to positives on defense

Of course it can’t be taken away. But let’s just suppose for a moment that Trent Richardson’s 85-yard touchdown on a screen pass from Greg McElroy in the third quarter of Saturday night’s 23-10 Alabama win over Ole Miss never happened.
Given such a hypothetical, how would UM coach Houston Nutt rate his team’s defensive performance?
“Best of the year,” Nutt said Sunday, after reviewing video of the game. “Best of the year. Best we’ve played of the year. Best tackling, tackling two of the greatest backs of the country. Thought we did a good job in coverage most of the time.”
