I don’t care what anybody says, this defense is actually very good. There are certainly some things I’d like them to do a little differently, and it’s not championship caliber like the 2018 defense, but it is a very good defense.
Total Defense #13
Yards/Play #15
Scoring Defense #17
Rushing Defense #6
Yards/Rush #5
Rushing TDs #13
Passing Defense #49
Yards/Pass Attempt #47
Passing TDs #20
Sacks/Game #29
TFLs/Game #12
Opponent 3rd Down% #4
Surprise, surprise, the area where we are struggling the most is in pass defense where we are young and trying to recover from losing 3 franchise guys to the NFL.
Side note: We also need to get off Jarren’s ***. Kid is top 25 in nearly every statistical category, including yards/attempt despite all the *****ing about the deep ball.
The difference between this team being 4-0 and 2-2 is the OL, period. Expect to see Enos use a game plan more similar to the UNC game plan going forward, which was a very well called game.
Edit: Removed S&P+ ranking as that was a 2018 stat. 2019 S&P+ isn’t available yet.
