So you’re gonna base your assessment of Aranda’s ability off of 1 drive?


no do you remember ND in 2018 bowl game? How many games have we been in position to win if our defense held the opponent on the last drive? IDK I am just asking...I know twice our defense didn't come through when we needed them.

I am saying I think Aranda is great but I haven't seen him live up to the top salary yet. I wan't more. Wisconsins defense got better when he left...how?

I dont Know what more you wanted Aranda to do in that last drive of the NF game.

We had 2 players in position to make the tackle and neither did.

Our offense has been blanked probably as many times as our defense has “blown” a game.

Did it?

Using defensive efficiency rankings:

2018 - 29th
2017 - 4th
2016 - 7th
2015 - 4th (Last year for Aranda at Wisconsin)

Looks like it was about the same for 2 years after he left then tumbled a lot down this past season

Top scoring defense in the country in 2015
4th best in 2016

And they played Ohio State Michigan and Penn State in 2015 and NONE of those teams the next year.

So I’d what you mean by better.
