These are Manny Diaz stats. It’s a high risk high reward style of coaching. His teams have always been ranked highly in TFL, sacks and now did well in turnovers. The major problem was the offense not converting any of the turnovers into points.
 
this is a garbage thread as it only lists the things that make the OP's arguement . How about you list tackles for loss or Ints or sacks ect ect. This D played amazing at times and garbage at times but always had big plays in them. That is a sign of a D who is young but promising . But the whole thread is bunk due to the OP selecting just the facts that suit him . I do agree with our talent and experience next season we better be in the top 15 of overall D and I believe we will but lets not act like this D didn't provide amazing moments like the VT and ND games and ND will end the season a top 10 team after they beat LSU today.
 
Manny Diaz is the biggest weak link on this staff. Everyone can clearly see it. The guy was fired by Texas for a reason

He’s not even remotely close to be an elite DC.

All we can do is pray to god he finds another job

What's your wingspan? That is quite a reach.
 
I like how OP is laughing at the defense. Here are some interesting stats per game (all in conference).

2016 (averages): Defense

Points Allowed: 21.75 (This includes the 7 points on the STs TD against Pitt, the 100 Yard Return) [Actual Points Allowed is 20.875]
Yards Allowed: 397.75
Turnovers: 1.5
Sacks: 2.5
Tackles for Loss: 6.75

2016 (averages): Offense

Points Scored: 29.38 (This includes the 14 points the D scored against GT, 2 Fumble TDs) [Actual Points Scored is 27.625]
Yards Gained: 394.13
Turnovers: .63
Sacks: 2
Tackles for Loss: 5.5

2017 (averages): Defense

Points Allowed: 18.75 (This includes the 7 points on the STs onside kick flop against GT) [Actual Points Allowed is 17.875]
Yards Allowed: 368.25
Turnovers: 2.75
Sacks: 3.75
Tackles for Loss: 8.75

2017 (averages): Offense

Points Scored: 27.125 (This includes the 7 points the D scored against UVA, Johnson Pick 6) [Actual Points Scored is 26.25]
Yards Gained: 392.625
Turnovers: 1.25
Sacks: 2.375
Tackles for Loss: 5.375


So on one hand you have a defense that improved and allowed less points and yards per game. On the other hand you have an offense that regressed and scored less points and had less yards per game. We won more games this year, I assure you it wasn't because of the offense.

Please note this post doesn't absolve the defense from blame, there is certainly blame to go around. I just don't get the "lol" for the defense.

ask the last 4 opposing quarterbacks
 
Fun fact: we’re 104th in offensive snaps per game

Fun fact: We’re 80th in first downs

Fun fact: We’re 107th in 3rd down conversion rate

How much do you wanna bet that we’re top 5 in defensive snaps played?

3rd down conversion rate is much worse than I thought. We need Ty Campbell.
 
OC’s have the jump on Diaz. This is Texas year two, redux. We have marginal QBs looking like Brady, putting up all world stats against this defense. Namely, you have QBs going 15-15 or putting up absurd completion percentages with relative ease. You don’t see that kind of thing for 4-5 years, yet we’ve had 4-5 QBs do it to us this season. It was nightmarish...it was like watching a Dorito defense at times

We had TWO true freshman QBs carve up this defense, and one was making his first start (Pitt), and Blackmon was making his third start. These things aren’t statistical anomaly; there is a structural problem with this defense.

We need a sound and disciplined DC if we are to make the jump
