Previewing Bama vs. Louisiana-Monroe: The Warhawk defense

The Warhawks defense, a variant of Joe Lee Dunn's 3-3-5, relies on speed...much like another defense the Tide has recently faced

Though few will give the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks much of a chance of knocking off the Crimson Tide this week in Tuscaloosa (though none gave them much chance of doing so in 2007, it's worth noting), the plucky Todd Berry-led team would be more daunting if it had an offense to match its nasty defense.

Though La-Monroe didn't fare well earlier this season against SEC East contender Georgia (the Warhawks lost 51-14 while allowing 243 rushing yards), don't be fooled.
