I was watching the game with two casual football fans. When VT was scoring again in the fourth quarter the first comment was they they thought Miami had a good defense. People watching Sportscenter just see the score without the context of the poor field position the offense left them to work with.Meh. Really exposed him? I'd disagree with that. It was certainly an awful game for Miami's defense, but they had 337 total yards of offense.
The redzone defense was especially terrible, obviously. And that last drive after we tied it was inexcusable. So, no doubt, it was a really ****** game defensively. But I just can't say a team is really exposed when they give up 5.35 YPP. That wasn't even the worst number we gave up last year (UNC, Louisville, UF, & GT were all worse).
I wonder how badly Baker would've been exposed had the offense not started the game with FOUR straight turnovers.
Overall, the defense is/was serviceable. Fix the big problems first.
