Kirby Smart talking about how the 2014 loss to Ohio State and their meeting after with Tom Herman and Todd Orlando was the genesis for the defensive evolution at Alabama and now Georgia. pic.twitter.com/jgOb2i1fnU

Watch this video. It talks about how we were able to consistently beat Alabama to the edge because their interior line was big but slow. He also talks about how when Tom Herman got the houston job he told them how we were able to win (It makes me feel a little gross him selling out our secrets like that but whatevs).
So basically losing to Ohio State changed their defensive philosophy and we can thank TBT.
