    I think strength of schedule matters a lot. So far, we've only played teams that are cupcakes or similar soft pastries.

    This would be a good time to insert that GIF of Bama breaking for a 50 yard run on our D as we fail to tackle their 270 pound running back. I'm 100% confident this year's team would have the same issues.

    Our D is awesome against Pac12 or similar week competition, but it isn't elite yet.

    yeah no

    the D is borderline natty ready

    the offense... :pensive:
    What good offense has this D been tested against?
    And also that all teams and units generally perform less well against exceptional competition?

    Exactly. So why don't we wait to get excited until we've seen how our D plays against good or better offenses?

    So far, we've only played shit.

    I'd be worried if we weren't in the top 10 defenses given how shitty the teams are that we've played so far.

    [edit]

    Okay, looks like Colorado is a top 50 offense. So I give us credit for that:

    http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/21

    Coming up, we will have 3-4 games against top 30 offenses. I'll be impressed if we are still a top 5 D after all of those games.

    not everything exists in a vacuum. look at the past 1.5 seasons. look at the coaching. look at the tackling. the depth. the speed. the size.

    take any top 10 defense this year and most of them have played mostly garbage teams
    That's crazy talk. We have to rely on the smallest possible sample sizes to make any real judgements! And when we do, those judgements have to be completely subjective.

    Our DL alone makes us special. They alone will put us in top 25 defense.

    The one that’s tied for #1 in scoring in the Pac 12? Yes cupcakes played no one blah blah. Look I get it, The offense is frustrating to watch at times but it’s not the absolute worst thing in the world.
    Gladstone wasn't wrong. The D is as good as anyone outside Bama. The offense (while not terrible) is not close to that level.
    Bama's defense isn't on the same level it was last year. Still excellent, but not quite the same.

    The Husky defense is probably better than last year's.

    If you believe these loser stats, then OBK has a sand free vagina to rent you.

    This is a tough one.

    On the one hand, I can believe in an analytical approach that has proven itself against the spread over the years.

    But that would mean not believing a guy who sounds like a typical Paul Finebaum caller.

    I'm so torn.

    If you think the D was the issue you should swallow an uzi

    I didn't say it was the issue, but that D wasn't elite. And thinking they were after 6 games against cupcakes was stupid.

    You bumped this thread after that defensive performance?

    You really don't have any idea what you are doing, do you?

    The D allowed 10 points to a team scoring more than 30 per game. The problem was our O only scored 7 and were averaging 42 per game.

    I bumped it in the first half after ASU drove the entire field on our D on their first drive.

    Coach Pete agreed with me.

    I was right.

    That defense isn't elite.

    Maybe best in the Pac 12, but that doesn't make them elite, unless you're one of those fags that thinks that the Pac12 is great this season.

    You jumped the gun branding them as elite after 6 games against cupcakes, then we lost our 7th game, to a cupcake.
