I do not necessarily disagree, but have they faced a good offense yet. I'd say no.

Great? Maybe tap the brakes. Name callers are so persuasive....not.

Defense is much improved but still concerned we will give up to many big plays.

Based on what? A couple plays given up by backups in garbage time?

Every defense will give a few big plays over the course of a season, but I don’t see this defense giving up many

Have not been challenged yet but this defense is pretty good they just smother the opponent so far if the do this against better competition against better players then they are elite one thing is for certain defense travels if they are good on the road I think it answers your question as of now they have been lights out smothering the opponent so far and we will be tested Saturday on the road just remember it’s hard to win on the road in the SEC

Hope that’s the case but 2 games so far and a few were there to be had. I’m impressed by our Defense don’t get me wrong but got to avoid the missed assignments and long ball.

I don’t know, but I do know that regardless of how good or bad the first two teams we have played turn out to be, we are better than we were last year.
