re: Am I the only one who's not convinced this D is elite?

When I saw that Colorado State-Pueblo, a Div. II school, had a defense that dominated Sam Houston State in Huntsville, TX this past weekend, it certainly took the wind out of my sails a bit. Also, Wake Forest's defense did a pretty good job against ULM, again on the road, holding them to 17 points. I think we have an elite secondary, a good LB corps (especially as Beckwith continues to learn and as Kwon and Lamar come back), and an evolving D-line. If we continue to improve in the middle on the D-line (which will be proven one way or the other this weekend), we should have a very good defense.
