Probably need to widen the field-of-view in our assessments.

Our D plays well in spurts. AU only had like 101 yds O in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, they had 330+.

I think Chief was counting on Freak/Ego being dominant in the middle (they've been good but not Brockerish). That would allow him to leave Barrow outside and let DJ, Louis, Beckwith mature at MLB.

At present, we don't have a Minter on the roster. I think Louis and Beckwith can be but they aren't there yet. IOW, I don't think it's talent or coaching, just inexperience.

Welter and Tahj missed all but the bowl game last year. Kwon missed a lot. Louis is a true Soph who only played sparingly. Beckwith a true Fr.

I expect our D to get better and better as the year goes and players mature.

In some respects it seems like we're still in a pre-season phase - trying out lots of people which isn't conducive to chemistry. Hopefully, we'll see our best D for 4 qtrs Sat.

Y'all people need to stop freaking out about the linebackers, we will b just fine. Spread offense's has always gained yards on us. We bend don't break remember Texas am last year,2nd quarter and beyond.plus it was raining last Saturday. Pro style offenses has trouble with our D. Plus we have the best DC in the nation,and this year we have an offense to help our D stay freash! For those who say our talent has fallen off "COCAINE IS A HELLA OF A DRUG"
