...This is the first week he's facing a truly dynamic offense with a QB capable of damaging him in the throw game.
I've loved everything I've seen so far, but this is the stretch that will tell us if our defense is truly high-caliber, or if we're going to see the stuff we saw from Diaz last year at MSU when teams with decent/good QBs annihilated him. I won't be able to get that Arkansas game out of my mind until I see us play good defense against teams like FSU, UNC, and even VT and Pitt.
I don't expect us to shut out FSU or UNC because that's not how college football works these days. We will give up points and scores. I just don't want to see us look like a sieve against those teams. I want to see some stops and to hold them to reasonable TOP, yards and points.
