USC Best Offense; UW Best Defense in PAC12 so far

Based off of the feverish doogery, tomorrow will either be full of lighter fluid and matches, or abundance.

Fairly certain this adjusts for strength of opponent. However PFF is often very misleading and this really doesn't mean much at this point in the season.
I have been very impressed by the defense though

Feeney is not of importance, neither is Littleman. They both suck, but in different ways.

Next year, we have back 6 players who will probably be legit All Pac-10 first team candidates on D... Qualls, Mathis, Victor, Bierria, Jones and Baker. There could be more... and most of those guys are juniors. Yikes.

So Feeney and Littleton are unimportant, and Bierria will be a legit All-Pac-10 first team candidates next year.

It's kind of pressing at this point, but Bierria looked really good last week against Utah State. Feeney is legitimately good and Littleton is a solid player, but I agree with Dennis that they aren't huge losses.

Pro Football Focus is the best in the bidness in advanced statistics and measures. This is their first full year in the CFB market. They grade every single play, it's really cool.

Based on the 0 comments that article had on their site, I can tell that they have highly regarded.

I would be more concerned that they are pro football focus and not college football focus

Bierria shows promise. But his tackling is erratic. Against the one decent team UW has played this year, his tackling was awful.

Littleton has been terrific. Feeney OTOH still looks to me like he still hasn't quite put it all together. Unbelievable ceiling though.

I guess the LB position is my one worry about the defense next year. Thompson-Timu-Littleton-Feeney leave big shoes to fill, and (other than Victor) I'm not really seeing the players to do it:

2016
BUCK Potato? Sterk?
ILB BBK? Bierria?
MIK Victor
OLB Bierria? Bartlett?

Flagged for thinking UW and USC have played teams that are worth a shit.

Bump.
