re: Maybe it's the school, not the coach. Wisconsin D is dominating.

Maybe it is their opposition.

wisconsin would not have a dominate d in the SEC regardless

get back to us when they play ohio st

aranda was great before wisconsin btw.

i really wish i could figure out why there is this push to discredit Aranda

I'm not sure that's the case here. Why do some fear honest analysis? None of this indicates Aranda isn't a top DC.

There are some that take unfair shots at Aranda to cover the offense's past shortcomings and lately there's been a rush to put some of the D's struggles on our now uptempo, high scoring offense. What were considered "excuses" for the offense previously are now "explanations" for the defenses' issues this season.

Aranda is a very good DC and historically his defenses improve as the season progresses. The D will be OK. We got glimpses of it coming together yesterday. We also need Chaisson to get healthy and be the player he's projected to be.

There is a difference between honest analysis and gratuitous bashing much of what I’ve seen falls in the later category. The defense got torched in the 2nd half vs Texas, shite happens. There were a couple lapses vs Vandy but nothing worth melting over like many here did. It’s also fun that when O was being roasted for losses to Troy and MSU a couple years ago, the lack of DL depth was trotted out and blame cast on Miles but this year DL injuries are waved away as excuses go figure

The stats as I applied them say, "yes".

If you go off stats alone and only stats, then your answer is obviously correct. But in all reality if you aren’t number 1 in your stats department, got news for you, statically they all could improve, even number 1 can improve their stats. So without putting context behind the text you are actually wrong in your comparisons, not in your statistics but in your comparisons!

And here is why, because you can take all the stats you want and compare them team to team in order to compare which Coach’s are doing better than other Coach’s. But until you give each coach the same identical team that plays the same identical schedule, you aren’t comparing true Apple to Apple comparisons! Even if you are just taking SEC coaches to try and see within the conference You are comparing apples but different types of apples which have different tastes and uses.

So while your statistical analysis was correct, your comparison analysis fell woefully short!

I agree, but UGA and even Ole Miss held Vandy to 6 points. We allowed more points and yards to NW St than a D2 team did. It's a simple fact and not a reason to panic, but obviously the coaches have come out and stated the problems needed to be corrected. So if the coaches say it's an issue, why do you say it's not?

They cleaned it up and looked much better vs USU. I'm glad the coaches didn't say it's all good. Instead they addressed it and shut down a very god offense. That's all most of us expect. See the problem and fix it.

People overanalyze everything. The offseason had the same people pushing the same stale points which turned out to be wrong.

This is just more overanalyzing. At the end of the season we will know how good Aranda is, this is way too early to judge this defense.

You're insane if you don't see the feeding frenzy that takes place whenever we give up a TD.

This happens every game regardless of coach or status. It's nothing new and not solely on Aranda. Its just his turn this year.

This fanbase hates everything and everyone. At some point this season Orgeron, Ensminger, Burrow and Brady will get turned on too.
The low IQ element here will make sure of it.

Yes, that juggernaut offense that is florida

Maybe Wisconsin plays Les Miles offenses all year every year.

yep, I was going to say the same thing.
