Our defense ranked 75th in 3rd down efficiency last year. The turnovers were nice, but we need to stop acting like our defense was all world when teams like Ga Tech, Duke and Virginia had better statistical defenses. We should’ve shut out Syracuse and UNC, yet we gave up about 400 yards of offense to both. The mentality that our defense was the only reason we won last year is the biggest myth on this forum.
Overall defense was slightly above average with turnovers being their best statistic. It's kind of hard to crap on the defense when they have to play 3/4th of the game on the field.
