    He just isn’t very good. What’s sad is, he still might be the best DC we’ve had since Aliotti left, and I wouldn’t criticize anybody that sad Leavitt is as good if not better in some ways than Aliotti was.

    Disagree. I'm fine with how the defense has played. Considering the offense goes 3 and out every single 1st half possession on the road, we were lucky to only be down 17-0 in those 3 games. If the D doesn't take a Great Leap Forward (for our Chinese Duck fans) next year with the influx of talent in last year's class and this year's, I will be disappointed. We were still starting Apelu (probably the worst P5 defensive starter in the country) at LB this year, so not sure why anyone's expectations were higher than what the D has shown.

    Leavitt isn't the problem. It starts at the top.

    Why do you hate Rich Stubler???
    Stubler happened to be there the year Cory Dillon roamed the field of play

    Been browsing the DT boards and there's some speculation that Leavitt is mailing it in as a FU to Mario cause he's still salty he didn't get the job. I thought the $1.8M would keep him happy but maybe not. Do you quooks want Leavitt gone?

    DuckTerritory is your source?!?!?

    Playing defense today in college football takes a combo of talent and coaching. Oklahoma passes the eye test on D but can't stop a pee wee squad. The Big 12 offenses are legit though. Georgia and their SEC defense got run over by Oklahoma last year and had to outscore them

    Its a concern with Petersen -we have seen what happens when the DAWGS have to score. They usually don't

    You need a great offense because no matter how good your D is it will get worked sometimes

    Oh you mean like today's Oregon State game?

    In regulation 24 points is the season high UW gave up

    OSU joins Stanford in second at 23

    UCLA and UO got 24

    Good for him. He turned our defense from dreck to mediocre. Sark>TY

    But seriously, taking a 116th ranked defense and making them mediocre can get you a low level D1 head job today. The bar lowered significantly once FSU hired Willie Taggart.

    I am a little surprised Jimmy Lake isn't being considered for a head job
