    Somehow this whole trope rolls out every year, that the defense sucks because it does what it's designed to do and as a result has been the #1 defense in the P12 for the past 81 years.

    What is KwatFS is not figuring out that Stanford will do this every year, run "big boy" (ILTCIBB, ILTDT) formations over our 2 DL formations. Your bending defense is breaking giving up drives of 11, 9, 9, 14, 7, 6, 2 (TO), and 14 plays.

    I'm pretty stupid, but how about a different base defense with your top 8 line stuffers rotating through 4 down linemen and 12 best tacklers situationally subbed in and out? Anything is better than a front 8 on 8 where we have a slight advantage at 1-2 positions, they have a slight advantage at 2-3, and they have a massive advantage at 4 positions.

    I know we have Alabama talent on defense, but I don't think right now weº really have the depth to put out that front.
    I was position agnostic there, if it requires throwing OLB/ILB/backup OL and TEs out there with their hand on the ground to eat up blockers, well... I think it could have some merit. Missing Levi, Tryon, Pa'ama, Bowman, Latu, and Bandes certainly would have made it hard to deploy conventionally last night. Is Draco Bynum really THIS worthless?

    Glad to see Tuli is back to being his first round draft pick self, however.

    Was this picture of Smalls a mirage? Camera angle tricks? He looks as big as Donkey Kong Suh as a 15 year old, and yet on the field, he looks severely undersized and overmatched.

    For a true freshman he looks good as far as size and physical skills go. Yeah he will lose a lot of battles right now. He just shouldn’t be doing more than spot duty yet and everyone knows it and thus schemes to him. Not enough discipline to hold the edge.

    He’s an 18 year old freshmen that hasn’t reached physical maturity going up against grown men. He just needs to get stronger.

    I love that Smalls and Suh are posing in front of a Truman Capote portrait by Warhol. (Yes, I do know more about culture than you.)

    I thought it was Michael J Fox.
    Not shaky enough.
