No.

Last year the biggest problem is that teams were scoring at will against our defense. Is that what you think our main problem is now?

So you are saying that's the ONLY problem we had last year? Maybe OL. Maybe LBs. Maybe S's. QB and WRs having connection issues. Maybe run game (or lack thereof).

So you chose the one thing that improved and used that as the basis to say no, the same issues aren't lingering?

And I must say...
- UCLA scored 38 points on us. 2nd most this year by them. Scored 44 against Hawaii. Scored less on Fresno, Stanford, Az State.

- McNeese did rush for 171 yds against us, including 2 +30 yd runs.

- We rank 79th is long plays against us +10 yds, 50th +20. Granted we were worst in all CFB last year on that +20 number.

Defense is damn sure getting better. But the LB play is still bad in regards to controlling the LoS and how in the hell are we giving up so much rushing yds playing zone so much AND long plays at the same time. It almost defies logic. So even the basis for your "no" has a little hitch in its giddy up.
