New Fish / Why the mediocre rush defense through 7 games?

New fish here, and I’m not supposed to be here, but here I’m anyway. I’ve been lurking on the sidelines for about a year to get a feel for this place and love the HHB/Hardcore Husky shtick; and thought I would give posting on the boreds the old college try. Plus I once saw DFI’s Race Bannon smoke weed and talk shit in person (post Oregon Game at Autzen in 2002) so I feel like I should have a little street cred in this place.
At any rate, here is my question for the football experts of the bored: Why is our rush defense so mediocre through 6 games (6th in Pac, 45th nationally) compared with our overall defense being solid in terms of scoring and passing. I get major anxiety watching us get gashed by some of these Pac 12 bottom feeders- e.g., Arizona, OSU in the 2nds half, etc. With as much talent as we have at d-line (at least before Mathis went down), linebacker, and secondary, why are we better at stopping the run? Is all Psalm’ fault? Is it scheme- e.g., we give up yards between the 20’s but not the big pass play? Is the sample pool just lousy and a lot of the rushing yards have come in the 2nd half against our 2’s and 3’s (excluding Arizona?).
My attention span is above average and would love to hear some good, long winded analysis. I suspect it will get covered on the TSIO Pod vis-à-vis Utah and will be sure to tune in…you can count me as listener number 9.

I mean kudos for at least showing up with an avatar, which means you might be salvageable, but name dropping Race in the hopes that I wouldn't crawl into your ass for the next week was pathetic. Kill yourself.

We have played against Freeman and McCaffrey. Biggest gains were the shitfest broken plays by Dawkins.

Actually I think my avatar/handle is pretty solid for this place, and @Swaye it does show some reverence for indigenous peoples, which in this case would be the Eskimos. But yes, as a new fish I did expect to have to deal with the sodomites around here for a while. I do enjoy the cerebral, longwinded writing style @Tequilla of and would be happy to be soulmates if it gets me some protection around here.
