To compare Cal's level of defensive players to any of these outside of MAYBE Arky's and Miss St is a fricking travesty!

Rankings in PAC (a conference known for offense)

-He was #1 in total defense his first two years at FREAKING CAL!!!
-He was #3 in scoring defense his first year and 4th his second year AT FREAKING CAL!!!
-He was #1 in pass defense his first two years at FREAKING CAL!!!

-He was 7th in TFL and 54th overall his first year, but ballooned to 1st in TFL and 10th overall his second year at FREAKING CAL!!!

Ranking in PAC

USC
with USC on sanctions (meaning no depth;
he was first in total defense,
2nd in pass defense,
2nd in rush defense,
3rd in scoring defense
5th in sacks and 25th overall
3rd in TFL and 19th overall

USC brought back 8 of those defensive starters he had, and they are doo doo this year

Considering what he had to work with, he was exceptional.
