I was thinking, when did we have the best offenses and defenses this school has ever seen. And this in my opinion is the best 2 we've had
Offense: 1995, 2014
1995 offense finished top 10 nationally in both yards and points, but did feast on some bottom feeder defenses and did disappear vs florida and tennessee. 2014 offense was "only" top 25-30 nationally, but played a little tougher schedule. Both offenses ultimately were drug down by lousy defenses.
Defense: 2000, 2011
2000 defense was ranked top 5 nationally and tops in the sec before getting lit up by the gators for over 500 yards and 41 points, but still finished top 20 nationally and shut down ohio st. in the outback bowl. 2011 defense finished ranked #3 nationally in total defense(behind only the 2 teams that played for the national title that year) and was top 10 nationally in scoring defense.
