Defense wasn't as bad as people made it out to be.

The point I was making was that even though the defense last season started off bad, they finished strong and knew basic fundamentals even during the times that they played bad. But this defense here just hasn't a clue right now, they're bad at everything even the most basic of fundamentals. Pelini must do something to get these guys going or it'll continue to snowball. When you have players like Stingley thinking it's funny and okay to laugh at your defense giving up easy scores, well, that's a problem to me. He (Pelini) needs to crack down on these guys and get tough with them on the BS, challenge them to play with fire and intensity on defense because right now just stripping down to a basic defense ain't working.
