Last year's team allowed 15.8 PPG. Over or under 15.8 for 2017?

Over. This year's defense will be good but not be as good as last year's.

Under. Fully implemented scheme with an offense that can move the ball.

Over. Much closer to 20 than the 15. We lost 8 guys that played a lot and 5 of our 6 best players. To think our defense will be better is crazy.

Oh it's crazy to think a defense full of elite athletes coached by the best defensive coordinator in the country can be better than the previous years defense full of elite athletes coached by the best defensive coordinator in the country?!?!?!?

Just wondering what data you used that proves we have an offense that can move the ball?
Is it the new QB, the all SR. OL, or the two returning 1000 yard WR's?

Les Miles no longer being in charge of the offense is all the fricking data you need

I just love the way everyone is justifying our new coaches/team by saying they are not Les Miles. I guess Obama was a great president because he wasn't Bush?

Over, not as experienced on D. Also we will score a lot more on offense so the D will be playing more back ups in garbage time.

Well, Aranda took a group of 3 stars in Wisconsin and in year #3, made them the #1 scoring defense in the country.

We have a bunch of young studs in their 2nd season in the professor's system. If I was a betting man, the data points to under.

And last years team was really better than that, without the Texas a&m game their ppg allowed would be around 13.6

Over.

The defense will be good, yes. We have a loaded roster of exceptional depth on defense, yes. We have the best defensive coordinator in CFB, yes.

But personally, I believe it is unwise to think that the defense will be better after losing multiple draft picks- two of which were first rounders.

I like this defense and am excited for the possibilities.

I have to say Over 15.8 though. Adams was a force anywhere on the field. You have to replace the senior leadership with guys like Beckwith, White, Riley, and Thomas.

Say what you will about Riley and Thomas, they both vastly exceeded my expectations for them last year.

We will have a very strong defense, but you will likely see growing pains. Until I see Key on the field playing at 100% I'm not holding my breath. Too many summer let downs from players.

Over, there is no replacement for Adams and White in the secondary.
