as quoted by Graham Watson, "...you don't win 12 games by being average on defense." That's right, we weren't average, we were horrible! If someone can recall one of those twelve games where the defense actually won the game, I'd like to know which one?! Special teams and an unrelenting offense, yes. Defense? Not even in a wet dream! DEFENSE is what I want to see this year, because we'll need plenty of it before our offense jells.

RE: Enos
Gotta disagree, CE. We won the MACCG 20-10. Defense was definitely played. The D also kept us in the AZ game, when the offense couldn't get going. Holding BUGS to 10 on their home field was impressive, IMHO. And don't forget holding EMU to 8!
Now, if you're thinking about the lackluster effort in the bowl game, sure, but remember that was with an interim HC calling the shots, which means Banks was probably running the defense solo. Even after the bowl game, we held teams under 19ppg. Can't say that's terrible. Especially not after the previous two seasons.

RE: Enos
Sorry, CMF, ain't buyin' it. Those games you cite were due to our opponent's inept offenses. OU was downright pitiful offensively, especially at QB. AZ, first game of season. EMUs, should be dropped. They're beneath pathetic. BG, hasn't shown anything in a long time. I am optimistic about our new defensive coaching staff (just having a hard time adjusting to browncow affiliations--- I know they're going to want to pound Cubit, and..........my reluctance of a BigTen assistant as our head coach).
