DeBoer wouldn't be encouraging his players to publicly shoot for the moon if he didn't think the backend could hold up this coming seasonDoogles said:One of the main predictors of a quality team to the computers are blowout wins. The computers don't like UW much because every game was sorta close thanks to one of the worst passing defenses i've ever seen.
If the D makes any type of step forward and allows for some score separation, UW will shoot up these polls.
The reality is, we easily could have been 9-4 last year without tweaking much. The D needs to get stops or we're fucked.
Even last year DeBoer said he didn't want to put a limit in his players' heads about how far they could go. -
Edge, lb, and db positions looked much more competent in the spring game.theknowledge said:
Totally agree. I know it was a spring scrimmage but the moves of Powell and Hampton looked like good ones on Saturday. The CBs look better. I’ll be shocked if by the end of fall camp a rotation of Mohammed, Dixon and Jackson aren’t better than any combo that was trotted out last year. The D line consistently reset the LOS and that allowed the LBs to flow unencumbered to the ball. I think a step forward should be expected not hoped for. Year 1 to year 2 at Fresno was drastic in terms of scoring defense for this staff. I’m hoping the defense can rest into that 18-20ppg zone next year. If the offense scores 40 again this team should be very hard to beat.Doogles said:One of the main predictors of a quality team to the computers are blowout wins.

Virtually all the transfers on d looked like upgrades to the depth.
I think the d will be legitimately above average. -
Edge was always extremely competent

Outside of Trice it wasn’t really special last year IMO. ZTF was okay. I guess you could say competent, but durfee really makes it a genuinely good group.backthepack said:Edge was always extremely competent
