I personally think this defense probably was looking better than early last year but losing Stingley and Logan didn’t help.



No evidence for this. This D is clearly worse.

Aranda was more limited in what he had, especially after the poor DL recruiting at the end of Miles's reign. He nurtured the D along, developed playmakers (like turning Queen into a first-round LB after he didn't start the year), and when the D was finally healthy after the Arkansas game (when Delpit sat out so he could heal his ankle), we gave up 270 ypg, and only 259 ypg against A&M, UGA, OKLA, and Clemson.

There was significant regression in DB technique, in players that were supposed to be promising last year, like Flott.

Sure but Are you saying the defense wouldn’t have been better with Stingley?

Are you saying Aranda didn’t have more talent last year?
