What was wrong with our defense in the regular season?

Was it weak line play? Injuries? Youth? The loss of Cooper?

I was underwhelmed with our defense. We gave up 7 YPC to Bama. Ole Miss torched us. State had a great day through the air.

Our linebackers were probably the strength of this defense.

Loston was our best safety. I learned that Eric Reid is a SS playing FS. Weak in coverage.

I thought they were fine pre-Bama. I just feel like post-bama, the team has been a little deflated. That seems like a pretty simple analysis, but it just may be the issue.

The team is a little fatigued but it's mainly scheme. We simply cannot give 15 yrd cushions to the WRs

Mostly youth. The jalens and Loston will be awesome next year. I think it was our pass d that was the problem

we didn't go full court press soon enough but Johnny got it rolling when it was needed.
