You , and others, are acting as if I have not provided any data or statistics.

I even showed that this defense has improved in certain areas.

However, just having better play from the DL in 2015 does not mean the defense as a whole got better.

It should be very telling that the overall yards allowed per play and yards allowed per game went up from last year despite the rushing yards per attempt and rushing yards per game going down from last year.

(Hint: it means our passing defense got much worse.)

You don't really understand football, do you.

Last year was the tail of two halves.

First half of the season we looked like shite.

Wisconsin ran all over us. I they had a competent QB who knows how bad that game could have gotten.

Auburn and Miss State Skull dragged us.

Then we made a major turn around.

This year we just had a lot of issues.

We didn't know who we were covering 50% of the time. We let teams get good matchup (Pharaoh Cooper on Dwayne Thomas) Then we gave up a ton of yards against Eastern Michigan because we decided to play second string linebackers most of the game.

1 thing i will say, I like that we continued to bring pressure late in games.
